Closets are a home's main source of storage.
In the home, the closet acts as a place to store and keep belongings. Whether you have one closet in your entire house or several per room, a little creativity can make each closet efficient and useful, rather than messy and chaotic. Does this Spark an idea?
Custom Closets
For a truly one-of-a-kind and personalized closet, choose a custom closet installer. The most expensive option for closet organization, custom closets give you top-of-line storage features like built-in shoe racks, purse storage, baskets, dividers and more.
Pre-built Closet Units
If you want a less-expensive-yet-still-custom option, go with pre-built units. Available at home improvement stores like The Home Depot and Lowe's, pre-built closet units fit in your existing closet. You decide the design, buy the appropriate components and install yourself.
Do-It-Yourself Closet Organization
As another alternative to custom and pre-built closets, consider building closet storage yourself. You'll save money doing the labor yourself and the materials like plywood and clothes poles are easy-to-find and inexpensive. Design your own plan or use plans from websites like Free Woodworking.
Adding a Closet
If lack of an actual closet keeps you unorganized, closets can be built into some rooms, space permitting. Websites such as Ask The Builder share plans and instructions for the installation of a closet. This can be a do-it-yourself project or you can hire a contractor to do the work.
Alternatives to Closets
Sometimes adding a closet or updating a current closet is not an option. For these cases, consider finding alternative storage solutions. Armoires and wardrobes pull double-duty with hanging bars and drawers. Use a trunk at the end of the bed and containers that fit under the bed to add even more storage.
