Top Custom Closet Myths You Should Know About

George Chowanec • Sep 12, 2019

Have you considered getting custom closets installed but found that something has stopped you? It could be that you have heard a myth or misconception about custom organization systems and have taken it to heart. We have compiled some of the most common custom closet fallacies along with explanations about what is true so you can make a completely informed decision about whether custom closets are right for you and your family.

Custom Walk In Closet System

#1 Custom Closets Are Only for the Wealthy

One of the most common misconceptions about custom closets is that they are very expensive and only for people with huge houses and/or huge bank accounts. This is not true: At All About Closets, we install custom closet organizers in homes of all sizes. We also carry both luxury and economically priced products to work with a wide range of budgets.

Every custom closet begins with a completely free consultation and design appointment. This is when your closet designer will be able to ask you about your budget and create a design that will meet your needs without breaking the bank. Since each closet is built to the specifications of the person or people using it, we cannot give a quote over the phone or in a blog post; instead, we offer a free, no-obligation consultation to allow you to know exactly what your unique closet organizers will cost.

#2 Customizing a Small Closet Is Not Worth It

Another popular misconception is that it isn’t worth the time or money involved to customize a small closet. This might be a closet in your child’s bedroom, a guest room, an entryway, a hallway, or a linen closet. You might feel that if you are not going to be customizing your master bedroom walk-in closet, why bother?

In reality, the effort to have a smaller closet organized might be more impactful than you think. First, keep in mind that your financial investment will be smaller. If you are looking for a cost-effective way to bring organization to your home, a small closet upgrade might be just what you need. Secondly, keep in mind that small closets are often in public areas of the home, which means that everyone in the family will benefit. A well-organized linen or entryway closet can improve the way your routines function, which is good for the whole family.

When it comes to children’s closets , we have excellent solutions that will work for your kids. We have child-friendly products as well as some fun ways to corral stuffed animals, sweatshirts, a fancy collection of feather boas, and so on. When your children are happy with their closets, they will be more likely to put their items away, which will benefit you, too!

#3 The Closet Organizers at Home Stores Are Just as Good as Custom Closets

You might wonder why you should invest in customized closet storage systems when you could just go to the nearest big-box home improvement store and pick one up for less money.

The fact of the matter is that these off-the-shelf systems are okay for closets that are absolutely standard and for people who don’t have much to store. They are made for walls that are very straight; if they don’t fit perfectly, they will gap or warp. In addition, the way the wires are attached to the walls, they often don’t hold heavy loads.

All About Closets organizers, however, are made of wood. They are custom-fit to your specific space, which means that we can work around slanted walls, cubbyhole access doors, and so on. Best of all, they are designed for your specific needs. If you have a large collection of purses that you would like to display behind glass or your child is five years old and cannot reach the hanging rod, we work with that and create storage solutions that will work.

#4 Custom Closets Are Only for Bedrooms

If you’ve read this far, you already know that All About Closets customizes small closets like linen closets or hall closets. What you might not know, though, is that we can also create a gorgeous custom pantry in your kitchen, a mudroom near your garage entrance, and an entertainment storage system in your living room or den.

Custom closets are not limited to bedroom closets and, in fact, they’re not even limited to closets at all. Any storage area has amazing potential, and at All About Closets, we work hard to create unique solutions for whatever your organizational challenges are. From your laundry room to your home office, the garage to the playroom, you’ll be amazed by how much extra space we can find for storage.
