Custom Closets – Are They Worth It?

Design Notes

CUSTOM CLOSETS – ARE THEY WORTH IT?

Closets are arguably the unsung hero of any room in the house. They are the one place where everyone throws random things when they have ten minutes or less to clean the house before guests arrive. It is also where most bulky objects go when there is no other place to store them, leading to a lack of space for the needed items. These little goldmines are rarely used to their full potential, but when maximized, they can bring a host of benefits to the home.

Clutter Equals Stress

Has any of this ever happened to you?

You can’t get out the door on time because you were digging through your closet trying to find shoes that match?
You know you have a specific item in your closet, but can’t seem to put your hands on it because it is too deeply buried under all your other items.
Your stress levels go up the moment you open the closet door?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it might be time to renovate your closet. Cluttered and dysfunctional spaces can lead to stress. Custom closets allow you to reclaim your space, ease anxiety, and have a smoother daily routine.

Custom Closets Equal Storage

Just like clothes are tailored to fit your needs, a closet should be tailored to fit your needs.

Have a lot of baseball caps, no problem. Have lots of shoes, no worries. Have extra blankets that you want to keep handy in the closet. A custom closet is meant for more than just a place to store your clothes. It means a place that is functional for what you need it to be, a place to put the things you use most often in easy reach and store the other items you need on occasion. By utilizing the closet to the fullest, it frees up living space in your rooms.

Custom Closets That Reflect You

We are unique, meaning we each have different likes and design styles. A custom closet means you have a space that reflects you, whether that is a more traditional look or a sleek, contemporary design. Custom means you get what you need just the way you like it and, more importantly, to store those items that often can’t be reached. View some of HGTV’s best custom closet ideas here.

Quality Product

The word custom means it is built for you, but at Walker Woodworking, that also means quality. Whenever an item leaves our shop, it has our stamp of approval and is made with the best materials available.

Added Value

Closets are usually a key selling point in any home, making a custom closet a valuable addition since buyers are looking for functional spaces in the house. Custom closets are not just a great space in your home, but are also an investment if you ever choose to sell.

Is Stained Wood Popular Again?

Working in the woodworking industry for over twenty years has taught us one thing: trends may evolve, but stained wood never truly goes out of style. Time and time again, homeowners are drawn back to the natural warmth, depth, and character that only stained wood can provide.

What to know about Appliances

The kitchen layout is essential because it controls traffic flow and the placement of items such as the sink and appliances. The work triangle still plays a key role in designing a layout in which the sink, stove, and refrigerator are spaced at a certain distance.
