Working With a Triangular Wall Storage Space
I have an upstairs loft with a wall that is at a right angle to another wall with a dormer window, so the roof/ceiling line of the wall is angled, creating a triangular wall space. (I hope that makes sense.) This is also the wall where I have my main storage area. Has anyone seen storage units that might work in a triangular shaped area? I have so little room up there that I want to take advantage of every inch of space that I have. Thanks.

I agree with making them shelves from wood and then make canvas storage baskets that will fit your depth and the widths that you need. I am a big believer in using all the space that you can. No cutting off those back corners for me. lol

Edited to add: I probably don't need to say this, but the bigger the basket, the heavier it will be when loaded with fabric and the harder to move around.
These are what I was talking about, but without the backing being straight on it. I wouldn't put a back on it, but attach the shelves to the wall to utilize all the space.
