Minimalism may be in, but the majority of homeowners still find that their homes are magnets for clutter. No matter how big or small your home – and closets – may be, clutter can still take over, and you may find yourself buying more “stuff” because you can’t find the “stuff” you already had.

Not only that, but clutter can be a vicious cycle. You try to buy the right containers to organize the “stuff”, but the containers just become more “stuff” that you need to find a home for.

If you feel like your organization is inefficient – and let’s be honest, most DIY organizational systems are – you will find yourself drowning in clutter no matter how many containers you buy. The real secret to clutter-free living is a custom design that will take the space you have, maximize its capacity, and create an efficient system where everything has a place.

Maximize Your Space

If you want to get the most out of the space you have, you need to make use of every inch you have to work with. Most builder grade closets are very simple with most of the functionality at eye level. While custom closet design may prioritize the eye level space as the spot to put your most needed items, good custom closet designers will not stop there.

Maximizing space is about reaching into the corners, and more importantly, thinking vertically. With a custom closet design, every inch of your available space can be fitted in a way where you can access what you need, everything has a space, and the days of toppling blankets from top shelves or dusty boxes in the bottom corners with things you forgot you had will only be a memory.

Tailored Components are Key

Your perfect closet is only your perfect closet for what you need now. As your family grows and evolves, your needs will change. A closet perfect for the nursery may not be perfect for your elementary child. A closet that works well with your highly tailored work wardrobe may no longer be practical if you have a shift in your career. A spare room storage closet may be needed to accommodate another family member and their belongings. And while these are significant changes, even small changes can impact what you need from your closet.

This is where tailored components shine. When you work with a custom closet specialist, they can help you design a closet that has adjustable components that can be reconfigured. Adjustable components include rods, shelving, and accessories that can be reconfigured as many times as you need.

Tailor Your Organization to Your Needs

It’s easy to look in a magazine or design website and see a closet that just looks perfect. It’s clean, it’s organized, and everything is perfectly placed. The problem with trying to replicate that on your own is the picture you are copying isn’t based on your needs.

If you try to squash your family into a space designed for a different family, it will be far less effective. When you invest in custom closet design, the closet specialist you work with will be focused on your home, your stuff, and your family.

A custom closet solution is just that – customized. Using tailored components and built-ins that are designed for you, your custom closet specialist will be able to perfectly plan your organizational system. After assessing your space and listening to your wants and needs, we can prepare a 3D design that will optimize your home, maximize functionality, and streamline your everyday tasks.

High-Quality Materials Made to Last

Builder grade systems aren’t designed with high-quality materials, and they aren’t built to last. If your system looks like it was designed to be disposable, it’s easy to treat it that way. Shelves break, so you make do with the ones that haven’t yet. Drawers stick, so you stop using them.

In contrast, luxury features create spaces you want to keep clutter free, and high-quality materials mean that your closet system won’t lose functionality too soon. When you invest in quality, it always pays off. Custom closet systems are designed to last, hold up to daily use, and look beautiful and stylish while they do it.
