When most of my clients contact me, they are interested in expanding their storage space with custom closets. While this is, of course, the main benefit of having a customized storage solution designed, there are also many other great advantages. A custom walk-in closet, in particular, offers many luxurious benefits that you might not be aware of.
Here are some of the ways a custom walk-in closet system can enhance your wardrobe, home, and life:
- Preserves the quality of your clothes
- Protects your shoes and accessories
- Raises your home’s value
- Improves your organization and efficiency
- Allows you to personalize your space
If you’re on the fence about investing in a custom closet and want to know more, read on!
Preserves the Quality of Your Clothes
When you have plenty of room to store your clothes, you’ll notice that they suddenly have room to breathe. Clothes crammed together on a single hanging rod can cause a lack of ventilation. When there’s no airflow between clothing, more wear-and-tear occurs. Fabrics rub against each other, buttons or zippers can become snagged on neighboring pieces, and if the closet is humid, you may even notice mold or mildew growing on some of your fabrics.
A custom walk-in closet, however, provides ample space between each item of clothing. One way my team accomplishes this is to install a second level of hanging rods a few feet below the first. This effectively doubles the space available for storing separates. We also offer a variety of pants racks, hooks, and other storage solutions that allow for better airflow.
Protects Your Shoes and Accessories
Clothing isn’t the only thing that suffers from a lack of space. Shoes and accessories do, too. When there’s not enough shoe storage, it’s common for people to accidentally step on their footwear – crushing it and causing it to become misshapen. Shoe racks and fences keep sandals, sneakers, and stilettos in place and off the floor.
Other accessories benefit, too. Hang your neckties properly without letting them slide to the floor with a dedicated tie rack. A jewelry organizer keeps your necklaces and bracelets from tangling. Hanover Insurance Group has more tips on how to keep valuable jewelry safe.
Raises Your Home’s Value
While your main goal now might be to improve your home for your own benefit, adding a custom closet system can also impact the sale of your home when the time comes for you to put it on the market. A well-designed walk-in closet can be a selling point; many buyers have “extra storage space” on their must-have lists when looking for their dream home.
In addition to making the home more appealing to buyers, it will also give you a place to stash boxes and personal items that need to be tucked away during showings. This makes your entire home look neater even if you’re in the process of packing up to relocate.
Improves Your Organization and Efficiency
Having extra storage space in your walk-in closet can help you be more organized and efficient when it comes to your daily routines. Forget about rummaging through cluttered drawers or struggling to find the shoes that go with your outfit – when everything has an assigned place in your closet, you’ll be able to find what you need quickly and efficiently.
This enhanced organization will tend to spread throughout your home, too. When you know you have plenty of space to hang your clothing, you’ll be less likely to let clean clothes sit in the laundry room, which will neaten up that area. When you have plenty of shoe storage in your closet, you won’t leave footwear at the front door or on your bedroom floor; it will be just as easy to put your shoes away.
Allows You to Personalize Your Space
One of the reasons you may want a custom closet is because you’ve seen gorgeous ones displayed on home and garden television shows or in magazines. You can also find a lot on our website! Looking at those models and seeing how other people use their spaces can be quite inspiring. With a custom closet system, you can pick and choose from the different spaces you see to design something that’s truly your own.
