If you’re looking for a weekend DIY project, consider repurposing everyday milk crates into a custom closet for extra storage. You can customize the configuration and storage space based on the number of milk crates you have. Personalize the design to suit your taste and needs, and once finished, enjoy a more organized closet.
If you don’t have access to free milk crates like TikToker @shelbylgillett, you can purchase standard milk crates online or at hardware stores. Measure your space beforehand and gather supplies like zip ties, a dowel rod, and spray paint for a personalized touch. Ask local businesses for free milk crates if you prefer not to buy them.

Start by painting the milk crates outdoors on a tarp, then use zip ties to attach them for stability. Add a pole for hanging clothes securely. Enhance your closet by using small containers within the crates for organization. Consider adding decorative elements like plants, framed pictures, or wooden pieces for a stylish touch.
For additional storage, use wicker baskets or storage bins inside the milk crates. Consider decorating shoe boxes or using cube storage bins for a neater look. Add stability with wooden pieces and enhance the design with decorative elements.
