Ask your closet manufacturer whether they can custom make a jewelry insert to place in a drawer to safe keep your jewelry. Get a lock for the drawer. Get a mirror door above the drawer for convenience.

You work at your desk. You have file drawers behind you or the printer on a counter top behind you. How far behind should they be? If they are too far you will have to roll the chair back and forth when you need to reach them. If they are too close, you will not have enough work space. This space should be between 40” and 55”.

You are working at your desk. You need to reach a bin in the wall cabinet above you to get a document. How far above the floor should the wall cabinet be? Generally wall cabinet bottom should be 55 ½” from the room floor.

In a walk-in closet with limited room, do not place drawer units on opposite walls at the same location. This will not leave you enough room to open both sets of drawers at the same time and work effectively.
