Customizing Your Bedroom Closet
Do you know what a customized bedroom closet space is? It’s where you have customized your closet with shelving, drawers, cabinets, hanging rods and more to specifically meet your particular storage and organizational needs. The keyword there is “your”. Your bedroom closet is customized with closet organizers and storage solutions to meet YOUR needs.
And I’m not talking about personalizing it to make it radiate your personality, although it may indeed do so. I’m talking about if you have 13 pairs of shoes, 10 long dresses, 5 suits, dozens of knit sweaters, 18 belts and 6 scarves that need to go in that bedroom closet, that’s what your customized closet will hold. And it will do so in a simplified way that’s convenient for you to access too.
You can create your own customized closet with deliberate thought and prefabricated closet organizers and shelving. Plus throw in some other closet organizers like double hanging clothes rods, wall hooks or even peg racks.
You also can hire someone to create your customized closet. Companies like CaliforniaClosets.com can come into your home to create these customized solutions for your bedroom closet. But that’s not all. They can create these customized storage spaces (closet or not) for other parts of your home such as the garage, home office (or just your designated office work space at home if that’s all you have) and kitchen pantry. Of course, prices vary for these customized solutions.
And you don’t want to hastily choose a company to do this work or too quickly pick the customized closet you want. You need to think it through first. There is a practical and useful article over at the LifeHack.org blog about How to Choose a Custom Closet Company written by a professional organizer that gets you thinking on this subject.
One point she makes is that when these companies that create customized closets for you arrive to give you an estimate, they’re basing the work and estimate around what they see you plan to put in that closet. Therefore, it’s to your benefit to get rid of the excess that you don’t use now and won’t use later before you call them.
For instance, for your wardrobe it’s perhaps time to rid yourself of fad clothing or even snazzy outfits you’ve literally outgrown. Saving them for a decade won’t make you smaller in size. I discuss this wardrobe clutter clearing tip and a few others over at my organizing website in the article clothes closet organization tips. Get your wardrobe organized now and then decide if a customized closet is an organizational solution for your home and needs.
