7. Two DIY Back of the Door Shelf Ideas
Maximize your storage space by building a DIY Back of Door Shelf Organizer that you can customize to any door size. Use 1×4 boards and install the shelves far apart to fit items like water bottles or closer together for herbs and spices. Cut and attach the frame boards, drill pocket holes, and attach the back of the door frame with wood glue and 1 1/4″ brad nails. Cut and attach the back of door shelf boards and 1/2″ wide strips using 1/4″ plywood. Finally, attach the shelf frame to the back of the door using 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws and paint it to match the door color.
While this project is simple and can be completed in an hour, remember that not all doors are created equal. Adjustments may need to be made to ensure the door still closes properly. Additionally, be mindful of the shelf’s weight capacity and number of items.
Alternatively,
Make new behind-the-door storage using ropes. According to Adailysomething.com, you only need two 70-inch and two 40-inch rope pieces. Mark where you need to cut on the rope with a pencil, wrap the marked spot with clear tape to prevent fraying, hang your door hooks and gently stretch out your rope to allow for a more balanced result. Later take care of your upper baskets and lower baskets, and finish the pegboard.
