How to make a small closet with attic hatch more functional?

We have one small closet in my daughter's bedroom that also has a hatch in the ceiling leading to the attic (and the AC system). Access to this hatch can't be blocked, of course. As a solution, the previous owners built some ledges and rested some wooden boards to be used as shelves. The boards can be removed in order to reach the hatch, if needed (as displayed in the photos). Unfortunately the closet can't be extended to the right, as that's a bathroom. Rough dimensions of the interior of the closet are: 99" high, 40 wide, 28 deep What exactly can I do to make this more functional, or should I just leave it as-is? https://imgur.com/a/gWcHHkD submitted by /u/shinytwistybouncy [link] [comments]
