BEFORE and AFTER: Sustainable Hall Closet Makeover!

AD | Clean out my hall closet with me!

This awkward nook is 9’ x 4’ and it’s right outside of the bathroom before you get to the porch. I think it’s intended to be a linen closet, but we have a small closet in our bathroom to store towels, toilet paper, and other beauty products.

We organized that closet first and you can see that process in a separate video. Our bedroom closet is less than half of this closets size so we decided to move our shoes and bulkier items to the hall closet to free up more space for actual clothes in the bedroom.

Slowly but surely, I’m turning my house into a space that is functional and beautiful, and tackling it in a sustainable way! This hall closet makeover cost us $0, because we were able to use what we have!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

Papertarians understand the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. Making sure we recycle properly, focus on sustainable forestry, and upcycling when you have the chance to get the full life out of any product that comes into your home.

I think using shoe boxes are the perfect storage containers and drawer separators. As an added bonus, the lids make the perfect trays for corralling items for more shallow drawers.

I wouldn’t paint the walls a green color at all because your tile is green and it might seem like too much green. I would probably paint the walls a cream/ taupe color and the trim white just because it’s a small space and it would make it look bigger, and those two colors would probably easily go with the tile.

I still have my backpack from junior high/high school. It's still going strong.
