Why do I want custom closets?

Creating a custom closet can give you all of the options you’ve ever wanted,  all in one space. Everybody has unique needs when it comes to storage, so why shouldn’t you create a custom closet to meet all those needs? There are so many options when it comes to creating a custom closet system that it can seem overwhelming. We are here to walk you through all of your options for storage and make your dream come true. Below are some of the accessory options we can provide for your customized closet system:

• Drawer dividers – These come in handy to keep drawers organized, especially when it comes to storage of smaller items such as socks or undergarments. 
• Pull-down hanging rods – When you have high ceilings and want to utilize the space, but don’t want to have to get out a step stool each time you want to access it, a pull-down hanging rod is an excellent option. These hanging rods have a pole attached that allows you to pull the rod down and away from the wall so that you can access it when you want to store or retrieve items. Then you use the same pole to push the rod back into place. These are perfect for those items that you may not use every day but still want easy access to.
• Jewelry and accessory drawer – If you dream of an all-in-one dressing room that contains all of your accessories for your outfits, then look no further! Lined jewelry drawers help you neatly organize all of your jewelry in easy-to-access system. You can choose multiple types of drawers depending on the type of jewelry or accessories you want to store, and can even add a locking feature for extra security. 
• Wire baskets – See through wire baskets can let you know what’s in the with just a glance, or if there are items you want to let breathe, such as a hamper. 
• Tie/Belt/Scarf rack – Organize all of your ties, scarves or belts all in one central location, allowing you to accessorize more easily! These simple racks will keep them all neatly hanging, meaning you don’t want to worry about ironing your wrinkles ties.
• Shoe racks – Something as simple as a shoe rack system in your closet can keep your floor clutter free and allow you to organize your shoes for easy selection. Customize your racks to the types of shoes you have, whether they are flats or riding boots, we can create a space specifically for you.

There are so many more options for your closets that we’d be happy to discuss with you! Let us know your vision, and we will bring it to life.

What’s the difference between wall mounted and floor standing closet systems?

Wall mounted closet systems are just what they sound like, mounted to the wall. Typically we install a metal bar into the studs in the wall and the shelves hang from those bars. With wall mounted systems, the weight limit is dependent on the walls that the unit is hanging from and will typically be lower than floor standing models. Wall mount closet systems will also typically have a bit of a gap between the ceiling and the floor, which can make cleaning easier. Wall mount are generally less expensive than floor standing units.

Floor standing closet systems sit on the floor and are attached to the wall so that they do not tip over. The floor to ceiling installation creates a finishes, custom look for your closets and have more options for finishing touches such as trim. Floor standing units can be more expensive than wall mount, however you are able to adjust shelves within the units more easily, and typically have higher weight limits for them due to the weight being mostly on the floor and not the wall. Floor standing systems will have more of the functionality of a piece of furniture that can be truly customized to your liking.

How can I utilize the corners of my closet?

Believe it or not, when properly used, the corners of your closet offer up a lot of storage space. Here are some ideas for your corners!

Shelve it: By running shelves from both sides into the corner, you create deep storage corners. If there are items that you use less often, these little nooks are ideal. 

Hanging and shelves: By running a hanging bar from one side all the way to the corner, and a shelving unit on the other side, but about 24” away from the corner, you can hang items all the way to the wall, then continue storage on the other side, giving you plenty of storage.

Corner carousel: Create a turning carousel in the corner of your closet but installing a 360° rotating hanging rack or shelves. This can be ideal for hanging ties and scarves, accessories, or even for shoes. 

We hope these tips will give you some ideas for creating your ideal custom closet! No matter what your style is, we can find solutions to give you the customized storage you need.

Custom furniture can give you the personalization you’ve been craving. Choosing your own style such as moldings, door faces and pulls on pieces can give you the feel that matches the rest of your home as well as your personality. If it’s a touch of warmth you’re looking to add to those cold Wisconsin winters, a new fireplace surround or mantle can finish your living room and add a special display space. If it’s a new television or entertainment system you’ve purchased, but can’t find a piece that does it justice, let us help you design a piece that will fit not only your room but also your components. Making your furnishings directly to size gives you the functionality that only custom pieces can create.

If you’re looking to outfit a space with custom cabinets, such as a laundry room or mud room, there are plenty of options to work with. Simple touches, such as doors to hide your washer, dryer and ironing board when they are not in use can make your laundry room feel cleaner and less utilitarian. Even something as easy as a pole between upper cabinets for you to hang delicate clothing to dry on makes your day easier, especially if you have children running around. A mudroom is another great touch for children or outdoorsmen alike. Slide out shelves with adjustable rails can give you the versatility for keeping your snowy boots, ice skates, or life jackets stowed away during any season.
