I’m building a custom reach-in closet and could use your collective wisdom. I’ve attached some images of my current plan to give you an idea of what I’m aiming for. Here’s what you need to know:

• Solo project with basic DIY skills.
• Tight budget, so looking at cost-effective solutions such as Closet Maid or Ikea.
• Double-decker rods are a must (at least 122cm/4ft each).
• My current plan includes two shelves in the middle with two attached rods each, and a wire rack up top.

I’m quite fond of this straightforward design; it ticks all the boxes for our needs without breaking the bank or being overly complicated, but I’m not thrilled about:

1. Accessibility of those shelves seems tricky since there’s only a narrow 30cm gap between them and the wall facing them.
2. That awkward gap between shelves.

Any suggestions to improve this design? Ready-made components to recommend? Tips on handling the gap?

Thanks for your help!
