The type of wardrobe shelves you choose will also depend on your available space. Vertical storage solutions are a good choice if you have an uneven ceiling. These shelves can be installed in closets or walk-in closets. You can also use these shelves in a corner to store boxes or other larger items.
Install on a wall that's at least 3 feet away from the door.
The first thing you need to do is measure the distance between your door and the wall where you want to install your wardrobe. Once you have the right measurements, you can purchase wardrobe shelves and attach them to the wall. You’ll want to make sure that the wardrobe shelves are securely attached to the wall to prevent the items on the shelves from falling to the floor.
Shelves should be at least inches from the wall.
When you’re installing a wardrobe shelf, you’ll want to make sure the brackets are secure. Use a screwdriver to make sure they’re tight, and if you don’t have access to a screwdriver, you can use a clamp to hold the bracket in place.
A stud is a structural support that runs vertically in a wall.
Most bookcases are attached to the wall with brackets or directly to the studs. When shopping for new bookcases, make sure the brackets are long enough to support the weight of your books. If you plan to put heavy furniture on your bookcases, make sure the brackets are secure. If you want to add shelves to an existing bookcase, you can get replacement brackets from a hardware store.
A wall stud is usually made of wood and is covered by drywall.
If you want to add storage to your wardrobe, you can use wardrobe shelves. They are attached to the wall studs. You can install them using straps that are nailed to the wall studs. If you don’t have access to wall studs, you can use a wall-mounted wardrobe.
If you cannot find a stud, use a piece of wood or a metal angle to support the shelf instead.
For added strength, use a screw that goes through the shelf, into the wall studs. When the shelf is installed, make sure the lip of the shelf is flush with the wall, so you can see what’s on the shelves. If the lip is higher than the wall, you won’t be able to see everything.
If the wall in your closet doesn't have a stud, use a piece of wood or metal angle to support the shelf instead.
Now that you have a wall you can actually attach the shelves to, you need to determine the best way to do it. Installing wardrobe shelves requires a specific type of fastener that will securely hold the shelf in place. There are several types of brackets you can use, but if you don’t have any laying around, you can use a piece of wood or metal angle to support the shelf instead.
To hang a shelf, use a drill and screws to fasten metal brackets to the wall.
To install wardrobe shelves on the wall, use a drill to create holes in the wall at specific points. Screw the metal brackets into the holes, leaving enough space between the brackets and the wall to fit your wardrobe. Screw the shelves onto the brackets and enjoy!
