Uncramping Your Style

The Tailored Closet specializes in transforming your disorganized spaces with custom storage solutions

What lies behind the closed doors of your home? Is it a closet that has turned into more of a catch-all room? Or maybe a laundry room that is more embarrassing to look at than the dirty clothes in it. The storage rooms in your house do not have to stress you out. The Tailored Closet of Overland Park wants to help you take back those spaces and allow you to breathe easy when you open those doors. 

Owner Craig Aukamp says that even though the average person only spends 2.37 minutes in their closet per day, that is enough time to exasperate a person if their surroundings are not in order. He is out to prove that most people have more space than they think they do in their closets and beyond. The possibilities are endless!

Entryways/Mudrooms 

An entryway or mudroom is often the first impression someone has of your home. Shoes piled high and jackets strewn on the floor do not necessarily scream "Welcome!" Take back this heavily utilized area by adding better storage and some touches of personality with accent lighting, rugs, and decor. Create an environment that makes coming home feel like a joy. 

Laundry rooms

Obviously, your laundry room will not be a stop on the house tour, but it is vital to the functioning of a home. The Tailored Closet is in the business of putting a new spin on such a plain area. Adding countertops, shelves and storage will help to maximize your space, while incorporating fun textures and materials throughout. Who knows, maybe it will become your new favorite spot to hang!

Garages

Garages tend to hold a lot of random belongings. Ranging from small to large, finding the best way to store it all can be overwhelming. Taking advantage of every inch of space along the walls and ceilings opens up a whole new world of storage possibilities. Create a permanent home for those bikes, golf bags and yard games. 

Wall Beds

Do you want to host more family or friends overnight but do not want to throw them on an air mattress? Do you struggle with wanting to give up your office space or playroom just to put a bed inside? Normal feelings. Perhaps, there is a way to have both. Another service offered by The Tailored Closet is the installation of wall beds. Built to look sturdy and permanent, their Murphy bed builds can also disappear without a trace. Multifunctional spaces are worth the investment. 

Aukamp and his team are in the business of finding solutions. Give them a chance with your cramped spaces, and watch them uncramp your style.
