This floating shelf hides a closet! Super easy DIY tutorial by ANA-WHITE.com
This is our guest room closet -
You can't see it when you don't need it, and it takes up no more space than a narrow wall shelf.
But when you need a closet, it's right there!
Under the white floating shelf that blends in the wall is three feet of hanging closet storage - and a few hooks too!
It's perfect for a guest room, airbnb rental, mudroom, capsule wardrobe, nursery wardrobe, laundry room or a vacation home. Anywhere you don't permanetly store clothes, this is a simple but effective solution!
It's very easy to make - check out this video-
