If you’ve ever dreamt about having an organized closet where everything has a designated place, fulfilling that dream may be easier than you thought. Now might be just the perfect time to consider building a perfectly organized closet — one that both reflects your sense of style and functions in a way that getting dressed is a little easier (and maybe even a little more joyous).
DETERMINE YOUR NEEDS
What items do you need to get organized? Do you have a large shoe or purse collection? Do you need more hanging space or more shelves and drawers to store sweaters? Think about your biggest pain points and what would make your life easier. Nobody likes to spend 20 minutes looking for that shirt. What’s great about working with customers is that everyone’s needs are different and a custom solution will address the biggest pain points while improving the look of the space.
SET A BUDGET
Building a dream closet shouldn't break the bank. We have a wide selection of products and designs that suit any space. Plus, our financing plans let you know upfront about the total cost. That means you don’t have to pay for everything at once.
PICK A LAYOUT
Is your closet going to be a reach-in or walk-in? The vertical space in a reach-in closet will utilize every available inch. Walk-in closets can be customized to include room for dressing or to incorporate an island with drawers.
CHOOSE A LOOK
The materials you choose will impact the overall look of the closet. There are lots of colors to complement any décor, and upgrades, such as crown molding and decorative door fronts. Our designers are experts at helping clients find a color and style to suit any personality.
PICK ACCESSORIES
For lots of clients, the most fun is picking accessories, including stylish and functional drawer pulls and handles. Maybe you’ll want chrome wire baskets on slides instead of traditional drawers. We have accessories, such as a full-length mirror or ironing board, that stay hidden until you need it. And be sure to ask our designer to demonstrate the valet rod: once you see it, you’ll have to have one.
