Closets Guide

Organize Your Life & Live Better

We understand that getting organized often seems like an overwhelming task, but we also know how remarkably easy it is to accomplish with the right strategies. Our storage experts are ready to share their closet organizer solutions and help you create perfect closet and storage systems customized to the needs of your own unique lifestyle.

Custom Bedroom Closets | Custom Pantries and Laundry Room | Custom Garage Closets

Your project starts with a design consultation in which we'll discuss key considerations, including:

  • Your intentions for the space or spaces, including a complete inventory of the items you'll be organizing and storing.
  • Your style preferences for everything from finishes and hardware to colors, organizational features, and accessories.
  • Your own storage preferences. For example, do you like to hang clothing or would rather store items flat and folded? Do you prefer drawers, open shelves, or a combination?
  • The dimensions of the target space or spaces, and aspects such as doorways, light switches, outlets, laundry chutes, etc.

Once we know exactly what you're looking for, our designers will create a custom design that makes optimum use of your space and includes user-friendly closet organization ideas based on our years of extensive experience. Meet our custom closet specialist who'll show you all the possibilities!

The rest is easy! In most cases, we'll have your project completed and ready to use in just a day or two. Our installation process is a point of difference with our customers who appreciate that our tech is dedicated to installing closet systems every day and does not deviate between installing other product lines. This means that installations are completed in the most efficient and informed manner possible and with consistent technique. Meet the installation technician who'll make your storage dreams come into reality.

The Best Materials For the Job

Our closet systems are built from melamine, one of the most rugged and durable home construction materials available. Ruggedly resistant to warping due to moisture and humidity, melamine can support up to 1200 pounds (that's over half a ton!) without bowing or bending.

To accent your new storage spaces and solutions, we offer a wide variety of different hardware options from polished chrome to oil-rubbed bronze. All our materials carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects.

Finishes That Complete The Look

Choose any of our seven beautiful wood grain finishes to complement your décor. Visit our portfolio to see samples of these looks and styles:

  • Traditional bright White helps keep smaller spaces better illuminated.
  • Ivory creates bright interiors that make objects easy to see but with a soft, creamy glow.
  • Maple Wood Grain is the lightest of our wood options. It provides the pleasing natural look of light-colored decorative wood and presents a fresh, clean interior.
  • For a medium tone choose Candlelight Wood Grain, a warm wood feel whose touch of honey makes it one of our most popular finishes.
  • Cherry Wood Grain offers a rich surface and gorgeous depth with a beautiful terra cotta undertone.
  • Chestnut Wood Grain provides a lush darker style reminiscent of traditional oak furnishings and classically elegant interiors.
  • Our darkest finish is Espresso Wood Grain, a delightfully bold, black-brown tone whose eye-catching presence is popular in contemporary settings.

Accent your selected finish with custom-cut drawer and cabinet fronts featuring anything from deeply beveled edges to a sleek, modernist look.

Hardware Accents That Shine

Hardware may be the smallest component of your project but it can have some of the biggest visual impacts. That's why we offer 16 different hardware styles to choose from, including sleek and basic; substantial and contemporary, and ornate and decorative.

Our design team can suggest hardware combinations based on your specific closet design and existing interior furnishings. Visit our portfolio for examples of hardware:

Closet Accessories That Make the Difference
