Works for Me Wednesday - Shelf Liners


Today's tip: liners for wire shelving.... to me, these are a must! I'm moving into our new house, and I'm so thankful that the closets have nice wire shelving - the kind that is coated in a white plastic. Before putting one single thing on them, I went on a hunt to find shelf liners...preferably something pretty sturdy.

I've made the mistake before of putting clothes directly onto wire shelves... I got bump marks on my sweaters that I could never get rid of - ever. No thank you. I'm always surprised at the number of people who have wire shelves and use them without a liner.

You could use lots of things to cover the shelves - wood planks, cardboard...whatever! I'm getting some plastic liners from The Container Store (LOVE that place!) that are made for the task. They are translucent, so they let the light shine between shelves. They are just the right length and aren't too thick (after all, I need as much space for clothes as I can get).

Works for me!
