I have a FWP. Closet makeover advice needed.

[iamali]

My new apartment has an amazing amount of storage space.  Considering I had almost none before, it's like living on a different planet - yay!

However.

There is a small walk in closet in my bedroom, in addition to a large sliding door closet that takes up an entire wall. I'd say the walk in is 3.5 x 6 ft. I'm just guesstimating.

While it seems like it'd store so much, the way it's laid out is AWFUL. It has cheapy white wire "shelves" and hanging areas. But the way it's set up, I can only hang stuff in a very small portion of it.

So, my question is, what can I do to make this better? I plan on asking my LL before doing anything.

I don't want to spend much $$$ either, but I do want it more functional.

Please help me create a nice space to store my too tight diamond shoes!

I'm sort of embarassed to - it's very disheveled. 

I'll have to wait a few hours until I'm home.

This is awesome. You can buy all kinds of accessories to go with it and set it up to however you want or change it as needed. I have put them in several times and it is always a super easy and fast process. www.lowes.com/pd_246444-315-FG3G59LWWHT_4294690623__?productId=3065807&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=

I've done some googling of "closet makeovers" (etc) and a good portion of it is super fancy stuff that I know is WAY out of budget. But I'll check these out - thanks!

Are you near an Ikea? They have great closet options in lots of price points.
