TWO OUl I LOWEB LEVELS' HOW A SPLIT-LEVEL puts basement space to work by raising part of it to grade level. This house has a built-in two-car garage, a big recreation room with sliding glass doors to garden terrace, and an extra lavatory on the lower level. The house covers only J.338 square feet. This is plan 7542AP by Herman H. York, architect, 90-04 161st St., Jamaica 32, N.Y. JftVIDO, BREUTt ArMat Elt Editor ARCHITECTS SET the pace in design, but must yield to demand in the matter ol certain essentials. That's why more and more closet space is being incorporated into new homes throughout the country. Prospective home owners- especial ly the ladies-have made -it plain that plenty of closet space is a "must" in any house they event ually purchase. Unfortunately, the willingness of architects to meet this need is of no help whatever to the millions of Americans who have older houses which lack a suf ficient number of closets. It is amazing how many old houses, built spaciously in every other way, do not have enough closet room. This lack is sometimes met by breaking into walls to build more closets or by construction or buying closets which set up in corners or against walls. And sometimes it isn't met at all, the family moving along on a catch-as-catch can basis, with a merry scramble for space each time guests are expected. Improve Use The one solution to the prob lem which docs not involve break ing into the walls or losing floor space is to make more use of the closels you already have. The ordinary clothes closet has wooden or metal rod stretched across its width to hold suits. coats, dresses and other garments which are placed on hangers. Jt has a shelf, also across the width and just a little higher than the rod. And it has a hook or two on :he inside o( the door. The clothes rod usually is jammed, the shelf is packed with hats, boxes and nhat-not . . . and the floor is cov pred with shoes, rubbers, slip pers and a few articles you just didn't know where else to put. One look at a closet of that tort and you could not help but get the feeling that it is filled lo capacity. But the chances are that it has plenty of waste space. For instance, there usually are several feet of space in the clos et above the single hat shelf. Put a couple of extra shelves there and you've immediately gained a considerable amount o( valuable snacc. With three shelves, the bot tom one can be used for things which jou ust very often, the middle one for things you need occasionally, the top one for items which are taken down only every few months or perhaps once a year. Supported by Strip These shelves can be attached to any one of several ways. The simplest is to attach two strips of wood to opposite sides of the closet and then lay the shelves nn the strios. The attachment nt the strips to the walls should be tfoni!. but the shelves need bo ken! in P'8" n,y w"n 5ma" finishing nails. Or you can screw metal supports into the walls and place the shelves on them. Small shoe stands, either ready made or constructed at home, will bring order out of that mixed-up eeUecttea ! sjipperi wd nbetrt on M jWO Cf-.J"; put them on stands, you'll And two or three pairs that you haven't used for years but just didn't get around to throwing away. The inside of the closet door often neglected except for one or two hooks, can be used for hanging ties, hats, trousers, dresses, blouses and many other articles of clothing ... if the space is properly utilized. Those little metal holders that come in so many different sizes and shapes are ideal for this purpose. You can even put narrow shelves on the inside of the door if you have articles that fit on them. Here's one idea along that line for the lady's closet: attach a mirror to the inside of the door at level, with narrow shelves both above and below the mirror to hold cosmetics. Be sure to put edging around the shelves so that none of the bottles or other items will slide off. Move Rod Back These additions to the back of the door can be made in most closets without interfering with the clothes. Once in a while, adding shelves or anything else -to the door may cause them to brush against the hanging clothes when the door is shut. In that event. you U notice that there are a few inches to spare at the rear of the closet. Take down the clothes rod and move it back a couple of inches by repositioning the two supports. After' that, the door will shut easily without the shelves touching the clothes. One final note: because of the added weight on the door, eventual sagging can be prevented by add ing a third hinge midway between the top and bottom hinges.
