Most homes around the lake were built with builder-grade closets: one rod, one wire shelf, and a walk-in that is generous in square feet and poor in usable inches. The fix is rarely more space. It is a layout that matches how you dress — long-hang for what hangs long, double-hang for what does not, shelves you can reach and a few drawers for the things that get lost.

- Give shoes a shelf, not the floor
