Can Custom Closets Add Value to My Home?

One question that custom closet designersare often asked is, “Will custom closets add value to my home?” While home values and market prices are beyond the scope of expertise that your closet company has, it is absolutely true that custom closets can add value to your home. This benefit is, of course, in addition to giving you more space and helping to save your clothing from the perils of being squashed against each other.

Here are a few ways that a custom closet organization system, along with the service often offered by custom closet companies, can boost your home’s value:

Custom closets make your home show better
When a happy couple walks into a home that they may potentially buy, they tend to look at a few things first: The kitchen, closet space, and location. While you can’t do too much about the location and neighborhood that your house is situated in, you can certainly do something about a lack of closet space! Custom closets increase your ability to store items, even in a small closet. This appeals to homebuyers, and can result in a quicker sale than you’d have otherwise.

A custom pantry is next on the list of ways to make your home sell faster and for a higher price
Most custom closet companies can also design and install custom pantries. A potential homebuyer opening cabinets and doors will be happy to see a customized pantry organization system keeping all of your canned goods and boxed foods separated and in good order. As a side note, storing some small appliances in the pantry can open up counter space, which is another considerations that homebuyers often keep in mind.

A wall bed, sometimes called a Murphy bed, can add value to a guest room.
If your home has three or four bedrooms and you’re not using all of them having a wall bed installedprovides additional storage room along with a comfortable place for guests to stay if they should spend the night. Because a wall bed, by definition, folds up toward the wall and out of the way, this allows homebuyers to picture the room as a craft room, play room or office, in addition to an occasional guest room and just might result in a faster sale.

If you use a custom closet company to design and install your home organization system, the company will often keep records of the blueprints of your custom design. This is particularly useful to homebuyers who might want to change the closet; all they need to do is call the closet company and schedule a consultation to see what the changes would entail. You can make this a simple process by leaving a card of the company who did the work originally.
