Adding Custom Closets to Your Home

Custom closets are more than just a luxury—they’re a wise investment in organization and style. What you might not know is that they can also be installed anywhere in the home, even though the master bedroom is typically what comes to mind.

Here are just a few of the rooms—outside of the master bedroom—you might consider adding custom closets to:

  • Entryway/Mudroom: The entryway frequently becomes a catch-all for shoes, coats, and bags. A custom closet may bring order to your life with hooks, cubbies, and shelves intended to withstand the turmoil of daily living. To keep the area tidy, you can even designate specific areas for keys, umbrellas, and other quick-access items.
  • Children’s Rooms: Custom closets are perfect for children’s rooms, and with the flexible shelving they offer, the closet can grow and change with them. In addition, special compartments for toys, books, and clothing can teach children about order while making the most of the limited space in their bedroom.
  • Home Office: A custom closet in a home office can store supplies, files, and equipment while decreasing visual clutter. Sliding doors or built-in cabinetry can create a seamless transition between utility and decor. Another thing to consider if you’re short on space is turning your custom closet into your home office.
  • Kitchen or Pantry: Custom closets can turn a chaotic cupboard into a chef’s dream. Pull-out baskets, spice racks, and labeled sections can all be added to help with meal preparation and storage.
  • Garage: In the garage, a custom closet can accommodate tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items. When designing what you need in the space, consider adding tall cabinets for large goods and compact drawers for tools.
