Ideas For A Custom Closet

Custom Closet


Closets are so easy to clutter. They're tucked behind a door that is occasionally opened, and they can be easily excused as a stuffed closet. Well, finding something stuffed away in a junky closet is not a pleasant task, and for today's busy homes, closets must be as organized as the living spaces in the home. There is just not enough time to hunt for things in the closet anymore. One exciting thing about cleaning out a closet is coming up with ideas for a custom closet space. Does this Spark an idea?


How Will You Use Your Closet?


What is your closet for? If it is for clothes storage, assess the types of clothes you have, whether they are better folded on a shelf, tucked into a drawer or hung on a hanger. Do you have more hanger clothes or folding clothes? This will help determine how much clothes rack, shelf and drawer space you need in your closet.


Will you also store your accessories in your clothes closet? Think of the most comfortable storage solutions for your socks, ties, shoes, handbags, gear and other accessories that will work for you in your closet. Perhaps drawers or pullout open shelves will work for some of your smaller items.


If your closet is mainly for storage of nonclothing items, plan the sizes and spacing of your shelves, and other storage solutions that will work well for your needs.


Ready-Made Systems


There are so many do-it-yourself, assembly-required closet solutions. It's a matter of how many closet organization pieces you can afford. After assessing your needs, you will have options available for your hanging clothes, shelf space for folded clothes, shoes storage, tie racks, drawers and storage for all of your other gear and accessories. Mix and match the pieces you need that will fit within your closet space for a ready-made custom closet solution.


Adding Features to Your Existing Closet


Add extra shelving to the top of your closet or down either side. This will give you more space to store clothes, shoes and accessories. Add shelving at the bottom of your closet for easy access to your shoes.


Add another clothes rack, maybe halfway between the existing one and the floor. This will function well for pants folded over a hanger. Extend this bar only halfway across your closet so that you leave room for your coats and other long garments to hang. Hang your short shirts right above the pants.


Add drawers to store away your smaller clothes items and to free up your living space by eliminating the need for extra dressers. Drawers in the closet are hidden behind the closet doors, a plus for those looking to unclutter and streamline their room's décor.


There are many ways to design a custom closet, and the right one for your space is the one that gives the most storage and function to your closet space.
