How Can a Custom Closet Change My Life

One question that we’re frequently asked when it comes to custom closets is, “How does a custom closet save me time, money and space?” While it’s nice to be able to look into your newly organized closet and see everything neat and tidy, you might not understand exactly how such a small thing can change your life in a noticeable way. Here are some considerations that you might not have thought of. Think about your daily routine and see if any of these can make a big difference:

Most of us have had the experience of not being able to find what we’re looking for. Whether it’s a particular coat that one child has outgrown and another child could not wear, a seldom-worn pair of shoes for a special occasion, or a holiday gift that you bought several months ago and put in “a very safe spot,” it’s frustrating and time-consuming when things go missing. Having a place for everything and everything in its place is a vital part of having what you need at your fingertips. A custom closet, complete with shelving, racks and organizational accessories, gives you that place to store items that you don’t use often or having thought about in months. You’ll know exactly where your belongings are, and when you need something, you can extract it within a few minutes. Think of the hours that you’ll save not searching for lost items.

Perhaps even more frustrating than wasting time not being able to find what you’re looking for, is wasting money replacing misplaced items. If you can’t find that outgrown winter coat, you just might end up spending money on a new one. If your silver slingbacks are missing a few days before your cousin’s wedding, forking over money for a new pair is a waste, albeit a necessary one due to the crisis at hand. It’s even more infuriating when the missing item is found a few days or weeks after you needed (and replaced) it. Being able to find your belongings quickly and easily saves financial stress as well.

You might not realize how much extra space you can have when your closets are well organized. If you currently have coats and boots bulging out of your coat closet, you may be shocked at how neatly everything can fit with a professionally designed closet system. This, in turn, frees up room to store something else that is taking up space in your home. Kids’ closets are notorious for being packed to the gills; once a good organizational system is in place, though, your children will find that they have plenty of room for even more of their belongings, creating more space in the livable area of the bedroom. Larger closets, such as walk-in closets, can see even more dramatic results.
