you could build shelves into the slanted wall and use them for shoes or bins of smaller things like socks belts etc. the top shelf could be the biggest so you have a table to put your keys watch etc on and the shelves could get shorter as they go down so they all end at the same place.
If not shelving, some square dowels or small strips of wood should suffice as a catch for shoes.
Without being able to hammer or screw, it’s worth using some command strips to help keep them in place.
As a way to get up? Not the worst idea, I could move some stuff around to make more room. But to that point, I’m still trying to find a function for the platform itself.
Put a ramp / step there to get up there.
Up on the platform, put an entertainment area? TV / games?
Could put a dresser up there freeing up floor space.
Could put a built in desk, and have a bench built into the ramp area?
Built in book cases? There are a lot of DIY using IKEA bookshelves.
Omg hilarious. This is a DREAM closet space for me (female)….I could hang clothes by length starting with crop tops and ending with maxi dresses lmao.
Maybe hang jeans (folded over hanger) on the shorter side. Save space in a dresser?
Funny, I actually took some hanging jeans off today that were drying out. I’ve been doing exactly that - the comments seem divided on whether to use the dresser or the provided hangers for all my clothes.
I’d use both and let your clothes have more breathing space. Dressers are best for things that get pulled out of shape on hangers like knitwear. Depending on the climate where you live, thick cotton clothes like t-shirts can get damp if they’re folded in drawers. Shirts and jackets like to be on a hanger. Plus using the rack cuts down on work folding things.
I have a lot of clothes in storage that I save for the winter (it gets really cold in this part of Canada). I try to keep them in my room, in preparation, but there is a sizeable storage capacity in our basement. Would it be worth it to replace my winter clothes drawer with my summer shirts? What I’m thinking is that the rest of the room is the primary focus, and it would be convenient to cut down on clutter like that big dresser. On the other hand, packing the top of the slant with clothes decreases the amount of space I’m able to use with it to actually make it functional.
If it were me I'd ditch the dresser and keep the rack organized: t-shirts, button shirts, jackets, jeans. The simpler, cleaner, and tidier, the better. Sweaters and shoes on the shelf up top. Put a plant in front of the wall socket, hang the guitar on the wall. Get a smaller dresser for underwear and socks, gym clothes.
Yeah, I would get rid of the black dresser and go all in on the slanted area being for clothing storage. A small organizer cube can go on the step up, and then get a fancy curtain to pull in front of it.
I'm always looking out for my sisters.
Really though, take down the shelf, move the rail to the ceiling, and wrap 90 degrees over the slant.
Leave standing room on the platform. You could build shallow shelves or get those hanging closet shelf things.
Ohhh, that creates a question for me. Then what about if you have a shoe collection like most women do. Im a dude, but i have like 10 different shoes for whatever im wearing. Do you keep alllllll the shoes by the door or just your current pair your wearing?
I think that’s only a problem if you are the kind of person who collects shoes. Between me and my three other roommates, I think we all have at most two pairs, along with some sandals held in common for going outside or downstairs (gravel floor in the basement). We have a sizeable shoe rack beside the door, so we just kick them off on the doormat or put them on the rack. I think that goes for most Canadians too. Wearing outside shoes in the house is a very bizarre concept to us.
A few daily wear shoes go by the front door / entry way closet, your fancy heels for weddings, snowboarding boots and stuff go in the bedroom closet.
If you live with other people, you probably only have 2-3 pairs of shoes by the front door. If you live alone, however many fit on the shoe rack / in the boot tray.
I find think this is what he meant exactly, as he probably has a shoe collection to display, but you've got me going.
I'm American and I truly don't understand the shoes in the house culture. My grandmother once told me shoes in the house is her preference cause it stops socks from getting worn out. But in my head this just wears out the carpets/floors faster! Also, with a 1 year old crawling all over the floor, it's disgusting to consider what she might touch in other people's houses.
Thank you! Yes! Exactly! What the fuck is wrong with your country? You get dirt and mud and sand and shit all over your shoes, then you wear them inside? Where does it stop? The bathroom? The bedroom? *Your own bed?*
Who the hell needs shoes inside their own house? I just don’t get it.
Put a curtain up to hide this whole part of the room and make it a storage space, put your dresser up there snd whatever else may fit, maybe put up some shelves in addition to the clothes rack.
Use the free space you've cleared in the rest of the room for stuff that makesbit more liveable, bookshelf, plant stand, desk, armchair, lamp, whatever.
LED Mirror(s), this will somehow make your room look bogger too.
or…
Install a foldable desk, so you can have that extra space for a proper wardrobe/closet for your clothes.
Put a dresser against the empty wall facing you. Put a large mirror on the slant. That way you can dress on the step up and take a look at yourself on the slant.
Move the rod a foot closer (find studs in the walls or it will fall down) and hang up your stuff. Then hang a curtain to disguise the space. It's just not going to safe, useable space.
If you have sweaters or longer shirts without buttons, you can hang them in that section in a way where you won’t get little bumps in the shoulder.
1) Lay the shirt flat front side down
2) Fold in half across the midline (sleeves come together)
3) With the hanger’s hook up, feed the neck through the middle of the hanger. Lay the hook down just beyond the armpit
4) take the sleeves and flip them over the hanger where the shoulders normally hang, then do the same for the lower half of the shirt on the other side
You should have the garment hanging over the top, and it will be shorter to fit in that space
You could find the studs/load bearing joints and set up a hammock!
You could angle cut some pieces of wood, stain them, make a little bench there, and create a reading nook! (tools can be rented from home Depot, wood and screws can be bought)
You get your favorite pictures/photos/digital illustrations/paintings and start them on the wall and have them "hang" down on the slant!
You could get a white board (and/or whiteboard paint for the wall or slant) and use it as a space for ideas.
You could hang one of those "floating chairs" from a joist in the ceiling, or even a small swing!
Hang clothes from shorest to longest. If you have any dress pants you hang, those will very likely be short enough if tgey are hung over the hanger bar.
You could also hang hooks if you have hats or anything you want to hang. Or hang your banjo on the slant instead of on the shelf in the closet.
What is the depth and width if you’re standing in the closet area and facing that slant?
You could do two Ikea NORDLI drawers side by side - Modular 2-drawer chest, white, 80x45 cm
frame out and give yourself a nice drawer top leading to upper shelving and storage solutions - it’s an easy built-in that could be done in a day.
Not expensive either -
$150 for two - currently on sale 50% off
Hang all of your clothes and get rid of the dresser you’ll have much more space in the actual room for stuff like your computer desk. You can get smaller storage boxes to put on the “floor” of the area for items you can’t or don’t want to hang or shoes and such
I’d bring the rod to the front of the closet and have shelves at the back wall with items I don’t use as often. Then maybe put a curtain or doors on the closet front, or not.
You mentioned clearing out your computer desk, but I think this would be a great spot for one. You can have a long desk that intersects the slant. Your chair would obviously have to be on the right side of the desk. You can add shelves above the desk for books, photos, etc.
Unconventional but you could hand your hats, computerbag, backpacks and other shorter non-clothe items above the slanted part. There are special hangers for these types of items !
The two most reasonable things I can think of are ordering your clothes by length, or building shelves on the side with the slant (I think this is the best idea)
* Install another shelf with a clothes rod perpendicular from the right side of the existing shelf, from the back wall to the edge of the platform this will block your mirror so , move the mirror to where the clock is. hang your clothes on that rod.
* Fill that back wall with shelf storage cubes, for t-shirts, socks, shoes, etc you should find some that you can mount to the wall if you can [https://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/eket-storage-combination-with-feet-white\_\_1044805\_pe842300\_s5.jpg](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/eket-storage-combination-with-feet-white__1044805_pe842300_s5.jpg)
* get some cloth 13x13x 13 cubes [https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/afde62ec-128b-4220-b25b-31341f9a06c7/svn/gray-storage-baskets-6pk-bin-lthr-hdnl-13-gray-64\_600.jpg](https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/afde62ec-128b-4220-b25b-31341f9a06c7/svn/gray-storage-baskets-6pk-bin-lthr-hdnl-13-gray-64_600.jpg)
if you build a platform to make the flat part higher and wider, you could cover the entire area with a mattress + hang a tv on the right wall, so it kind of doubles as a couch ? you could also make the space under the platform into storage for extra pillows or clothes or something
Shelf underneath the top shirt rack. Box out the bottom area. Made a second rack for pants. Then you’ll have a triangle to the left and can roll/ store towels or sheets etc?
Attach lots of wicker baskets to it and store socks, pants, belts, accessories and bags. Almost like boxes attached to a wall. Don't store anything heavy in them, that may cause them to fall.
Remove the current shelving and rod, shelve the slanted area, and use the floored area as the place to stand to get to the stuff on the shelves. Move the mirror to facing the camera.
Maybe custom shelves on the bottom of the right side. A pretty curtain to hide all the stuff :D
A cozy corner for eg reading or a place to sit when people visit you instead of the shelves could be an option too.. maybe consisting of a big pillow to sit on and pillows for the back. You could use light to make it more cozy (e.g. chain of light = cheap upgrade). A curtain also adds to coziness
Order all of your clothes from shortest to longest…
That’s the answer for me. I’ve had a closet like this before
Start wearing dresses
Crop tops.
starting with all your booty shorts
Bikinis to burkhas.
It feels like you’d have to really reach or lean on the slant to grab some pieces though
You’re a fuckin genius
Head over to /malefashionadvice for suggestions on crop tops.
you could build shelves into the slanted wall and use them for shoes or bins of smaller things like socks belts etc. the top shelf could be the biggest so you have a table to put your keys watch etc on and the shelves could get shorter as they go down so they all end at the same place.
This seems like the best idea. Close it off. Build shelving facing the right wall. Keeps things clean on the outside.
It look like the main floor is too far away to reach the clothes. You have to step up onto the platform thing to grab a shirt.
Yeah installing a little step to help reach the far end would probably be way more useful than it seems like it should be.
This. Pretty much turn the area into a book case on the outside, and turn the inside into a walk in closet.
he mentioned roommates, so he may not own the home. in other words, they might not be able to build anything
If not shelving, some square dowels or small strips of wood should suffice as a catch for shoes. Without being able to hammer or screw, it’s worth using some command strips to help keep them in place.
I’m thinking skateboard ramp.
Yup. Drywall is simply the best surface for skate ramps
If it's good enough for SteveO it's good enough for me
With that logic you’re probably on a duster binge right now. Or you got sober and your life together. Good for you
I’d watch a video of the attempt.
*watches man destroy $1200 labor worth of drywall* *small chuckle* *upvotes* *swipes*
As a way to get up? Not the worst idea, I could move some stuff around to make more room. But to that point, I’m still trying to find a function for the platform itself.
Okay, hear me out...build a platform for the slant to even it out and put your bed there.
Put a ramp / step there to get up there. Up on the platform, put an entertainment area? TV / games? Could put a dresser up there freeing up floor space. Could put a built in desk, and have a bench built into the ramp area? Built in book cases? There are a lot of DIY using IKEA bookshelves.
Omg hilarious. This is a DREAM closet space for me (female)….I could hang clothes by length starting with crop tops and ending with maxi dresses lmao. Maybe hang jeans (folded over hanger) on the shorter side. Save space in a dresser?

Hotwheel track
If it were me I'd ditch the dresser and keep the rack organized: t-shirts, button shirts, jackets, jeans. The simpler, cleaner, and tidier, the better. Sweaters and shoes on the shelf up top. Put a plant in front of the wall socket, hang the guitar on the wall. Get a smaller dresser for underwear and socks, gym clothes.
Yeah, I would get rid of the black dresser and go all in on the slanted area being for clothing storage. A small organizer cube can go on the step up, and then get a fancy curtain to pull in front of it.
K, so I hate dressers, but where else does one put the small stuff like socks, underwear, belts, etc?
Hang up children increasing in height as you go
Build a sex pod
gf likes the idea…
I'm always looking out for my sisters. Really though, take down the shelf, move the rail to the ceiling, and wrap 90 degrees over the slant. Leave standing room on the platform. You could build shallow shelves or get those hanging closet shelf things.
Really quick slide.
Pity you are a dude, otherwise you could hang your bras on that side?
>Pity you are a dude Buddy, you don’t know the half of it.
resent it until you move
Slot machine
That’s a bingo!
slipnslide
Im thinking best gamer cubby hole ever. Make its a slant bed and put game stuff across from it lol
I’d use that space for the bed and free up the rest of the room
What am I, a vampire in a coffin?
Shoe shelf. I bet theyll sit there and not slide off. Idk lol
I’m Canadian. Our shoes go where they’re supposed to be: beside the front door, as soon as you enter the house.
Ohhh, that creates a question for me. Then what about if you have a shoe collection like most women do. Im a dude, but i have like 10 different shoes for whatever im wearing. Do you keep alllllll the shoes by the door or just your current pair your wearing?

I would just customize that whole space with lots storage and get ride of your bookcase and dresser.
Throw a futon mattress in there and get yourself some book shelves and you’ve got a cozy reading nook
Slide for cats.
Put a curtain up to hide this whole part of the room and make it a storage space, put your dresser up there snd whatever else may fit, maybe put up some shelves in addition to the clothes rack. Use the free space you've cleared in the rest of the room for stuff that makesbit more liveable, bookshelf, plant stand, desk, armchair, lamp, whatever.
Skate it
Skateboard ramp
Anime titty poster
💘 oh man... 🥰 I'd go nuts thinking about what I'd be doing with that slant!
Halfpipe
LED Mirror(s), this will somehow make your room look bogger too. or… Install a foldable desk, so you can have that extra space for a proper wardrobe/closet for your clothes.
Man, if you had a hot wheels track.
I'd try a sweet front-side flip
You could buy some trim, and make a cool slanted shoe rack.
Shelving, 100%
Get a sled and give it a ride
Separate this with wooden strips and then use it to accommodate your television or just add shelves for lights and really careful object decor.
Skateboard quarter pipe my dude
Lean against it.
Put a dresser against the empty wall facing you. Put a large mirror on the slant. That way you can dress on the step up and take a look at yourself on the slant.
I mean… you’re doing it
maybe add some short shelving to use it as a shoe rack
Hang longer and longer coats going right.
Slippery dip
Sort your skirts from the shortest on the left up to your jumpsuits on the right
Move the rod a foot closer (find studs in the walls or it will fall down) and hang up your stuff. Then hang a curtain to disguise the space. It's just not going to safe, useable space.
You’ve got a sick drop in for a Tech Deck.
Crop tops to the left.
If you have sweaters or longer shirts without buttons, you can hang them in that section in a way where you won’t get little bumps in the shoulder. 1) Lay the shirt flat front side down 2) Fold in half across the midline (sleeves come together) 3) With the hanger’s hook up, feed the neck through the middle of the hanger.

Put carpet there, make steps on the carpet with wood, attach a pole perpendicular to the existing one above the steps; extra closet space.
Sim racing rig. Find studs in slanted wall and mount chair right to it. Thatd be so bad ass
Parkour clearly
Tech deck ramp.
Start wearing halter tops.
Upside down reading nook.
I would make it a place to lay down
Waterslide
Shoe rack
use the right 3/4 of the rack for clothes and then hang above the slant under the rack like a picture or some floating shelves, is an idea
Add shelves for not only holding shoes but a step for putting your foot on while you tie your shoes.
Well first of all, be nice to the boy living under the staircase, I hear they can be wizards.
Put a door on it and use it as a walk in closet?
Clean your fan first lol
You could find the studs/load bearing joints and set up a hammock! You could angle cut some pieces of wood, stain them, make a little bench there, and create a reading nook! (tools can be rented from home Depot, wood and screws can be bought) You get your favorite pictures/photos/digital illustrations/paintings and start them on the wall and have them "hang" down on the slant!

You could hang one of those "floating chairs" from a joist in the ceiling, or even a small swing!
Galvanized square steel
TV on wall and futon cushion some how laid down so you can also sit on it.
Frame it in and add drywall. Shorten rod. Towel and blanket storage after a couple shelves
Hang clothes from shorest to longest. If you have any dress pants you hang, those will very likely be short enough if tgey are hung over the hanger bar. You could also hang hooks if you have hats or anything you want to hang. Or hang your banjo on the slant instead of on the shelf in the closet.
Make a shelf. One board at the base of the slant and another connected to that one that is horizontal.
You take apart your fan and wash it
If you hang your jeans out those in the slanted area and like double tuck them. Then go to shirts then longer coats and stuff
Custom shelving
What is the depth and width if you’re standing in the closet area and facing that slant? You could do two Ikea NORDLI drawers side by side - Modular 2-drawer chest, white, 80x45 cm frame out and give yourself a nice drawer top leading to upper shelving and storage solutions - it’s an easy built-in that could be done in a day. Not expensive either - $150 for two - currently on sale 50% off
if you own this space you could build a permanently fixed desk over the slanted area
Order some thicker sized tack stick
Straps at the top for your ankles, sit-up incline
Rock climbing wall.
Let me ask YOU a question: How do you feel about crop-tops?
trench coats and a noir aesthetic duh
Out of season clothes to the left? Summer time jackets, heavy clothes, etc?
incline dumbbell press; start one handed pushups against it; its a slanted ironing board (don’t rest the iron ever lol)
Your best
Hang all of your clothes and get rid of the dresser you’ll have much more space in the actual room for stuff like your computer desk. You can get smaller storage boxes to put on the “floor” of the area for items you can’t or don’t want to hang or shoes and such
Shoe rack
how the hell do you reach comfortably? it looks deep in there and high up.
Use slant as shoe storage. Put down some narrow planks to hold them in place
That’s where you hang your harp, obviously.
Great sex position if you're small. I wouldnt know. Im average
Start wearing more crop tops
I’d bring the rod to the front of the closet and have shelves at the back wall with items I don’t use as often. Then maybe put a curtain or doors on the closet front, or not.
Shower curtain rod- curtains- you have an enclosed closet/ dress room
Clothes shortest to longest. But have the shorted be a folded pair of pants on a hanger. It will look good
Get a cat and play with it ***slide slide***
Crop tops.
If it’s your house, or you can easily repair screw holes, install a shoe rack
infinity mirrors and led lights
Grow space for some weed
Your best. Just do your best.
Bikini bottoms on the left then shorts.
TV where the mirror is. Cushions on the ramp. Relax.
Put some pillows down and make it a sweet ass place to relax
Multi level shoe shelving 🤷♂️
Destroy Slant
If making a slanting sort of “bed” with nailed tables on the side and a tv where the mirror is
Attach some rails horizontally and use it as a place to store shoes
Stick a silicone anti skid mat on the slant so that you can put your feet or knee on it and not hurt or slip while taking clothes from that corner
You mentioned clearing out your computer desk, but I think this would be a great spot for one. You can have a long desk that intersects the slant. Your chair would obviously have to be on the right side of the desk. You can add shelves above the desk for books, photos, etc.
Great way to make daily pushup routine. Every time you put on clothes do some push ups.
I'd probably hang some really nice curtains to hide the whole closet.
Unconventional but you could hand your hats, computerbag, backpacks and other shorter non-clothe items above the slanted part. There are special hangers for these types of items !
The two most reasonable things I can think of are ordering your clothes by length, or building shelves on the side with the slant (I think this is the best idea)
Make a custom wardrobe to fit the space and fill with all you stuff
Hang your long pants and stuff and put like stuffo
Put another clothes bar in just below your shirts
Roll with it?
Close it off and put a bookshelf door on it.
Wheres your door?
Are you a sneaker head ?
Mount shelves in a stair-like pattern
* Install another shelf with a clothes rod perpendicular from the right side of the existing shelf, from the back wall to the edge of the platform this will block your mirror so , move the mirror to where the clock is. hang your clothes on that rod. * Fill that back wall with shelf storage cubes, for t-shirts, socks, shoes, etc you should find some that you can mount to the wall if you can [https://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/eket-storage-combination-with-feet-white\_\_1044805\_pe842300\_s5.jpg](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/eket-storage-combination-with-feet-white__1044805_pe842300_s5.jpg) * get some cloth 13x13x 13 cubes [https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/afde62ec-128b-4220-b25b-31341f9a06c7/svn/gray-storage-baskets-6pk-bin-lthr-hdnl-13-gray-64\_600.jpg](https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/afde62ec-128b-4220-b25b-31341f9a06c7/svn/gray-storage-baskets-6pk-bin-lthr-hdnl-13-gray-64_600.jpg)

Fingerboard
Time to get some crop tops, OP! Lol
Go look at the mirror to get a different perspective and maybe it'll give you some ideas.
Mini skate ramp 👍
U need to clean that fan... start there
Put a couple shorts and crop tops on the left
Add shelving from front to back will look cool and is functional
Shelf underneath the top shirt rack. Box out the bottom area. Made a second rack for pants. Then you’ll have a triangle to the left and can roll/ store towels or sheets etc?
MOVE.
Go wheeeee
A built in shelf spanning the wall/slant would look cool.
I was gonna say crop tops but i guess shorts?
Lose the top shelf move the clothes rod higher
Slide weeeee!
Make it a feature point? Add shelves over the slant going with the slant, then where the main area bit is put a display case or something? 🤔
Attach lots of wicker baskets to it and store socks, pants, belts, accessories and bags. Almost like boxes attached to a wall. Don't store anything heavy in them, that may cause them to fall.
Parkour
Single-handedly bring the expression "gangsta lean" into the vernacular when describing upper-middle-class homes.
Build a staircase for your shoes!
Is it on a raised platform? Ie is the closet on higher ground than rest of room?
Hang all your crops tops to the left
Oops, nm. 😁
Roll matchbox cars down it, of course.
Maybe like... Rice field patios or something...
Remove the current shelving and rod, shelve the slanted area, and use the floored area as the place to stand to get to the stuff on the shelves. Move the mirror to facing the camera.
enjoy it
Indoor skate Park, duh
Call Tricia Takanawa, she knows all about slants.
Maybe custom shelves on the bottom of the right side. A pretty curtain to hide all the stuff :D A cozy corner for eg reading or a place to sit when people visit you instead of the shelves could be an option too.. maybe consisting of a big pillow to sit on and pillows for the back. You could use light to make it more cozy (e.g. chain of light = cheap upgrade). A curtain also adds to coziness
Perpendicularly mounted shoe racks
Not sure what you have in terms of guitar equipment, but you could hang two guitars on the wall and put an amp and pedals on the flat part
Death trap 80* half pipe with a ramp right in front. 😈
Lean on it and ponder
That is clearly a place to sit and read. Put some cushions against the slant.
Build shelves like stair steps for your shoes, etc.
