Designing a Custom Master Closet — Where Do You Start?
Tired of not being able to fit all of your personal items in your master closet? Frustrated from not finding things or being disorganized. Want a better system that will give you a space that is perfectly designed for you?
Here are some things to consider when planning a custom closet:
Type
You can select from a narrow reach-in closet to a spacious walk-in closet. It depends on the space that you are working with. Walk-ins don’t take up more square footage than a reach-in but they might require a different shape. If you work with a custom closet organizer, they can help you maximize your space with custom cabinetry, built-in shelving and more.
Space
It is going to be important to review the current space you have and what could be done to increase the area or maximize what you do have with built-ins instead of dressers, etc.
Materials
Your master closet system can be made in real wood or high-grade melamine, and you can choose from a vast array of finishes, colors and architectural elements to complement your unique design aesthetic.
Features
You can personalize your closet’s custom organization system with any of the following features:
- Built-in laundry hampers
- Built-in vanities and seating
- Valet bars
- Wardrobe lifts
- Shoe cubbies
- Jewelry drawers
- Rolling ladders
- Fold-down ironing boards
- Shelf lighting
- Charging stations
- TVs
- And more

Organize
As you start to talk with a professional custom closet organizer
you’ll need to inventory your clothing to determine if you have short items like shirts, skirts, pants, coats and long hanging items like dresses, etc. to decide on what spaces you will require. You can start by grouping like items together and don’t forget to donate pieces that you don’t wear anymore. Also, consider if you have more shoes than handbags? What other types of items do you have for a custom cabinet or shelf?
Installation
It will be important that you have your custom closet installed by a licensed, insured closet organizer professional who will be respectful of you and your home. Check their reviews online to see what other people are saying.
