A closet with sliding doors hides everything, but it only opens half at a time. Shoes end up in a heap on the floor, bags pile on the top shelf and the thing you need is always behind the door you did not open.

This guide builds a half-open plan around the layout in the cover photo: a two-tier shoe rack, a hanging rail, lidded boxes on the shelf above, a row of hooks on the side wall and a basket on the floor. It covers where each item goes, how to keep shoes dry and which bags can hang and which belong on a shelf.
