The closet is not just a storage space anymore. Custom designed closets have become important selling points for home buyers, attractive dressing rooms where homeowners prepare for the day and wind down in the evening, and extremely functional storage systems where every shoe, tie and piece of clothing has its very own place.

While the main goal of a custom designed storage system remains to maximize space, homeowners are increasingly concerned with closet design. Organization experts are charged with designing aesthetically pleasing yet practical closets by paying special attention to closets’ lighting and hardware, traditionally reserved for the living and dining rooms. Crown and base molding are found in nearly every closet design and consumers are customizing even the smallest details in their closets, including the finish color of poles and rods.

Closets by Design offers three distinctive closet systems to fit almost any budget, but many consumers opt to upgrade their closets with mirrors, glass shelving, and upholstered benches for sitting while putting on shoes and socks. Today’s stateof- the-art closets bring together beauty and functionality in a luxurious and stylish setting. Many walk-in closets include vanities and islands that allow for additional storage space and even granite countertops to complete the high-end look and feel. Tie and belt racks, wire baskets and hampers, handbag and accessory compartments, velvet-lined jewelry drawers, and pull-down wardrobe bars are becoming standard closet accessories while cappuccino makers and mini fridges can be found in some of the most lavish dressing rooms.

While organization systems for closets can range from $300 to upwards of $20,000, storage design professionals are dedicated to making every organization process quick and hassle-free for the customer. At Closets by Design, phone inquiries are quickly followed up with an immediate inhome consultation appointment, where a designer brings a variety of photos and layouts of organizational systems offered, as well as product samples of different colors, styles and hardware for the customer to choose from. Design consultants are experts in engaging the homeowner throughout the entire decision making process. They are experts at interpreting and understanding what the customer wants, even when the customer can’t necessarily visualize the finished product themselves.

Installation follows shortly thereafter and typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system(s) ordered. All manufacturing is completed at the Closets by Design facility in Orlando, eliminating the mess associated with many traditional home improvement projects.
