Hall Closet with Floating Shelves
I’m so happy with my new hall closet. The chunky floating shelves look pretty empty but they are going to hold SO MUCH crap! (And we sorely need someplace to store some crap.) It’s very rewarding to finish a project. Completely finish. Not mostly, almost or just enough to be functional. It’s absolutely, positively 100% –done.
Hall Closet with Floating Shelves
Hallelujah! It is very functional but it’s pretty too and that is important to me. It’s my general rule to create a home where when any door is opened — what greets you on the other side should create a smile!
The top three shelves are only 12″ deep and wrap around on three walls. This leaves me plenty of room to get into the closet but also creates tons of easy to see storage rather than super deep shelves that span the back wall.
The bottom two shelves are 14″ deep and only cover two walls leaving space on the floor to store my vacuum and other tall supplies.
In addition to slightly deeper lower shelves and space for my vacuum, I also added pegs to allow me to hang cleaning supplies and other items if need be. 
I’m all about beautiful functionality! They weigh equally in my design plans as I need both in my home equally –to make me smile.

I don’t know how you do it 🙂
Another awesome project, it’s not only functional but pretty to the eyes. I am hoping you will provide a tutorial because I would like to do this in my pantry. You are my inspiration and I look forward to your blog everyday. I also have several projects on going and some days find myself spinning 🙂
Great job! and the white paint makes it look spectacular. This is another project on my list. The neverending diy improvement list… lol
very interesting, I look at the pics and try to figure out how you installed the shelves. I have a video someplace that tells me how to do that but it isn’t coming to mind. Your closet does look beautiful. Now stop distracting me with your beautiful finished projects, i must get in my shop and make a scarf joint for some trim. 🙂
That is a beautiful, functional, bright space! I LOVE it! So simple yet you have added the beadboard, kept the shelves off on the bottom left for moving space (clever) and have peg hooks….amazing!!!!
