Closet Cabinets

The most upscale way to redo your closet is to invest in a system made up of closet cabinets. These are custom-installed systems, usually designed by an employee of the company making or selling the system.

The designer or a measuring specialist will come to your home and measure all aspects of your closet. They will then go back to their office and design a closet based on your needs.

These designs often have a small fee associated with them, but the cost of the product does usually include installation.

Closet cabinetry systems have dozens of options available for the space. Of course, there is hanging space both for short and long garments, and flat shelf space. Shoe options include flat or tilted shelves, and sometimes special gliding racks.

Hanging will be installed at the perfect height, and extra space will be utilized with shelving. Drawers are often included as part of the design, too. The closet designer should work with you, asking questions to determine exactly what you need in your space.

One thing to keep in mind with putting closet cabinets in is that a small space will feel even smaller with a lot of cabinetry in it. One way to get around this obstacle is to install more lighting.

Sometimes, the closet designer will be able to include this, but other times, you will need to do it yourself or hire an electrician. Be sure to bring up any concerns about this with your closet designer.

Closet cabinets come in a variety of materials and finishes. From melamine to hardwood and white to walnut, you have the choice of many different looks.

Remember to purchase new hangers to complement your new closet system. Otherwise, it will look very funny with that mix of pastel hangers from high school!

Once you have settled on a closet with your closet designer, the installation will be scheduled. Be sure to ask the designer if you will be expected to empty your own closet, or if that is included as part of the installation process. You will love your new closet cabinets!
