Accessories Ideas for Custom Closets

George Chowanec • Aug 12, 2015

A custom closet is a wonderful luxury. Old closets can be customized to fit your individual needs or you may be adding a room with a new closet to your home. A custom closet can be against a wall with sliding doors or it can be a walk-in closet with built-in shelves, racks, mirror and other accessoriesyou need.

These accessories help you organize and reduce clutter:

Shoe racks

Shoe Rack

Shoe racks come in different sizes from folding door and wall mounted styles to wire racks that fit on the floor. Shoe racks can accommodate shoes and boots of any size. The racks keep shoes together in one place so you are not searching in the back of the closet for the other shoe. Boots can be clipped together and stored on a shelf or rack.

Tie racks

Tie Rack

Tie racks are made for neckties but they work with scarves as well. A tie rack attached to a wall or closet door gives easy access to ties for the person in a hurry.

Jewelry racks

Jewelry Drawer

Jewelry racks fit on top of a dresser or counter. They have space for hanging necklaces, chains and bracelets to prevent tangling. Special racks are available for earrings. These racks make it easy to find both earrings and backings for studs. No more fumbling around in the jewelry box looking for the other earring. Ring holders are also a convenient accessory.

(It may be advisable to fit a small safe in the back of a closet to hold valuable jewelry.)

Belt hooks

Belt Hook

Belt hooks keep belts organized for men and women. It's easy to find the belt that goes with pants or a skirt when they are arranged on a special closet wall or door hook.

Pants Hangers

Pants Rack

Pants Hangers keep pants for men and women neat and help prevent wrinkles. These racks attach to a closet wall and can extend or slide out to hold pants carefully placed over the arms. Fan style racks fold in and out of the storage space. A closet can be customized with two levels of racks for pants, jackets, shirts, blouses, skirts and sweaters. This provides more wardrobe room for clothing that is worn everyday. Special clothes hangers are available for pants and skirts. Suit hangers also work well in custom closets with two levels of racks.

Shelves

Closet Selving

Shelves are a major component of a well-organized closet. Shelving gives room to store folded sweaters, hats, handbags and other items. Shelves can be built-in to a closet or portable stacked-up vertical shelves that move around can customize a closet. Portable shelf styles include baskets that can be used to hold socks and other small items. Hanging shelves made of heavy-duty fabric that fit on a clothes rack are also available.

Drawers

Closet Drawers

Drawers or a dresser can be located in the closet along with vertical stacked shelving. Different configurations of drawers and shelves customize the closet. The drawers should slide out easily. They can take the place of a conventional chest of drawers or dresser. These accessories in a custom closet will keep all clothing and related items organized and easy to locate. Cedar-lined ones can even keep the moths away from your clothes all year. Take a look at your closet and see how you can customize it to meet your needs. It may be as simple as adding racks, hooks and portable shelves. Customizing your closet will keep you organized.

Shoe cubbies

Shoe cubbies. Instead of racks for your shoes, you may choose a cubby design. This is still a great way to store all of your shoes while maintaining organization and avoiding any clutter.

Cabinets for safes

Cabinets for safes. Many people choose to keep a safe in their closet for their valuables. We can build a hidden cabinet for this safe that stores it behind the closet doors.

Valet rods

Valet Rod

These are great option to hang your dry cleaning, accessories, or to organize the outfit you plan to wear ahead of time.

Wardrobe lifts

If you have high ceilings, you can take advantage of the space above your head. Our wardrobe lifts make it unnecessary for you to risk using a ladder or stepstool in your closet.

Closet cabinets

Another great way to organize all of your clothes is with closet cabinets. You can stack folded clothes, hats, hoodies, and more in the cabinets, allowing you to store them neatly.

Glass doors

The doors of your closet can even be clear, frosted, or etched glass if you choose!

Ironing boards

Closet Ironing Board

A cool accessory that you can also add is an ironing board to folds down from your closet. This can be really convenient, rather than having to get yours and set it up. You can quickly iron your clothes and keep them looking new!

Mirrors

Mirrors can be installed to be fold out accessories and the closet is the perfect place to check your appearance! Our mirrors can retract into the closet.

Hampers

Closet Hamper

Many of us keep a basket in our closets as a hamper. With a custom closet, you can have a hamper that tilts open, to store your clothes until it’s time to do the laundry.
