Closet Organization Systems

When redecorating or designing your new closet, why not make it a custom closet, fitting your exact ideas?

Pictures in your local home improvement store may give you ideas on your custom closet storage, but here are a few ideas to toss around for your consideration.

Custom Closet Design

For one person, the average closet space differs. This depends on the amount of items stored in the closet, and the type of items stored therein. This also differs based on the room size and type of dwelling, and what you can afford.

If you live in a penthouse but don’t have much working space, a custom closet may be exactly what you need to help eliminate the clutter in your current closet. French doors are always trendy, and can be custom made to your dimensions, and painted or coated any color desired.

Custom closets are not hard to design, as long as you have an idea as to what you want the end product to look like. Remember to be practical, this is your closet space and no one else’s. You know what has to fit in this area, and should design it accordingly.

If you have 4 closets worth of clothing, you don’t want to create a closet with only enough room to hang 6 garment bags. Doors to your custom closet storage can range from an average room door to French doors or sliding doors, whatever you choose.

Custom Closet Storage Lighting

Nothing is worse than opening your closet door, only to not be able to see what is inside. Choosing apparel in a darkened area is hard, and should be taken into consideration when creating your custom closet storage.

Lighting options range from recessed ceiling lights to pen lights hanging from the ceiling, or wall sconces strategically placed for use. Regardless of the type of lighting you choose, remember it has to be practical to your needs.

Flooring In Your Custom Closets

The flooring in your custom closets will make a big difference when it comes to how your doors operate. This should be taken into consideration when choosing doors.

If you have a ¼ inch pile carpet laid in the custom closets, what type of door will work best for you?  The door you have on the closet at this time will suffice as a guide.

When opening your door, you want to have full access to your custom closet storage, so make sure that the carpet is not too high, or the door set too low for you to use the space accordingly.
