The Benefits of a Customized Closet

Custom boutique-like closets, with their luxury wooden hangers perfectly spaced, and shoe walls that look like they belong in The Met are not just for celebrities these days. A custom closet doesn’t have to break your budget and will offer luxuries that once you’ve gone custom, would be hard to do without. Along with increasing organization and beauty in the daily routine of your home, a custom closet has many other lifestyle benefits as well.

1. Getting the Most Out of Your Space

Many times closets are the builder’s afterthought, especially in classic homes, so sloping ceilings, harsh angles, or just poor design makes it nearly impossible to get the most out of the space without customization. By customizing your closet, you can have things specially designed to fit into every nook and cranny, no more wasted space.

The styles and options available these days are nearly endless. Need to utilize your vertical space, but don’t want to keep a bulky stool in your closet? You might benefit from an automated wardrobe lift, which is quite literally an elevator for your clothes. Have a large collection of knits? Maximize your storage space with custom drawer units which not only look lovely, but also hold significantly more than shelves or hanging rods. With so many options, the possibilities really are endless and there are even modular designs you can mix and match and install yourself.

Along with getting the most use of your space, you’ll get the most use out of your wardrobe by customizing as well. Afterall, with a closet specially made for your things, you’ll know just where everything is from yours tops and slacks to your closet accessories.

2. More Peace Throughout Your Day

Unlike a formal dining or living room, you use your closet multiple times throughout every day. Because of this, the tone of your closet contributes to your overall wellbeing. And that’s not just lip service. Studies show that mothers who live in cluttered environments have higher levels of the stress hormone Cortisol and that removing clutter from home and work environments can improve a person’s ability to focus, process information, and increase productivity.

When you customize, you will reduce clutter and increase the beauty and harmony of this space. You might also reduce some stress in your daily life if you have a relaxing and beautiful place to unwind at the end of a long day. When you design your custom closet, you can choose the finishes on everything, pick out the perfect hardware, coordinate all those luxury hangers. You can create sitting space for that relaxing time at the end of the day.

And all those busy mornings will be improved by customizing your closet too. No need to rush around in search of the shoes you need, or that top you planned to wear when everything has a place, and everything is in its place in your closet. Take your closet from simply functional to fabulous!

3. Improved Quality of Life

And if you’re still on the fence about why you should upgrade to a custom closet, Zillow has the answer. In recent years the giant in the Real Estate market has reported that closets are the second most requested upgrade for buyers looking for a new home. So consider this upgrade an investment should you ever decide to sell. While you’re waiting for those future buyers to start lining up, you get to enjoy a beautiful harmonious space all for yourself.

So when you’re designing your custom closet, consider what your daily routines look like. Consider your wardrobe and fashion accessories, your jewelry collection. If your wardrobe is extensive, consider hiring a professional designer to help. They will work closely with you to understand your custom closet needs and desires. Designing a custom closet not just for ambiance, but also for function is an important part of improving your quality of life. When your closet is designed around you, instead of ‘one-size-fits-all,’ you will be able to streamline your daily tasks, beautify and declutter your space and your life.
