The beautiful thing about innovative custom closet designs is the creativity involved in building unique closetsthat not only look beautiful but are also intuitively functional for the specific individual. Sure, we can all find a nice picture of a custom closet and want that exact same one; however, a beautiful closet that isn’t based on your wardrobe won’t fulfill your needs and thus, your satisfaction.

Often times, it’s tempting to try to figure it all out yourself, but the best advice would be to find a reputable closet design expert near you and get them to do a free design for you. If you’re in the New Jersey area, you can get a free one done in-home here.

Defining Innovation in Custom Closet Designs | New Jersey

Innovation is a very important aspect to advancing civilization. If you look at the history of our planet, innovation is how we are here to today with all of the things we often take for granted - electricity, vehicles, computers, mobile phones, etc. Even storage organizers are advancing from just plain shelves and hanging rods into something that molds into your lifestyle, improving productivity and efficiency.

Due to the exponentially increasing advancements, we’re wanting more and more instant gratification and to minimize the amount of redundant tasks so that we can focus on what really matters. Innovation inspires creativity. Challenges inspire innovation. Here in this article, we will attempt to shed light on the common closet storage challenge.

How to Create a Custom Closet to Fit Your Lifestyle

Creating a custom closet that fits your way of living requires that you understand your wardrobe, and that usually means assessing it. For example, let’s take a look at some of the possible closet organizers that are available: hangers, shelves, cabinets, drawers, jewelry drawers, belt & tie rack, shoe racks, hampers, folding ironing boards, etc. Since your ability to organize is based on the organizers you have available, it’s important to know your options so that you design the best closet for you.

Custom Wardrobe Closet

Understanding your wardrobe

Some of these items may or may not apply to you. With the ones that do you’ll need to know how much space you may need for each category of clothing such as T-shirts, dress shirts, long sleeves, coats & jackets, suits, pants, shoes, jewelry, belts & ties, etc. Look into the near possible future - will your wardrobe change much? If you’re not sure, build that possibility into your closet design just in case.

Matching your wardrobe with closet organizers

Once you understand your wardrobe and the available closet organizers, start matching them up and identify if there are any other items that do not match. It’s important to have a home for all of your closet items. Otherwise, they are prone to wreaking messy havoc, form a pile, and become clutter that is counter-productive to the solutions you’re trying to create.


Put the pieces together - create your design

Once you have all your pieces identified, it’s time to put them together into a closet design. This is where you find out whether or not you have the ability to create your own design or if a professional may just save you from an embarrassing end result of a closet build. Keep in mind intuitive placements, styles and finishes, and the obvious woodworking skills needed.


Conclusion

Creating an innovative custom closet yourself is possible, but if you want top notch professional quality work for your beautiful home, it’s best to have an expert custom closet designer and installer to help you create a design only years and years of experience can create.
