CUSTOM DESIGN FOR WELLNESS – THE BENEFITS OF AN ORGANIZED HOME

While clutter is easy to spot, the adverse effects it can have on our well-being often go undetected. When clutter runs rampant throughout a space, it can make us feel guilty for not being more organized or stressed by a sense of helplessness.

Builders and designers today are looking to create homes that can help alleviate these emotions by making the most of the space. We believe it is our job to help our clients have a space that is entirely functional and perfectly matches their lifestyle. Here are three areas in the home where custom storage can help you feel better, and your life run smoother.

Custom Closets

If you are having trouble getting out the door on time, your closet may be to blame. Closets are a key storage area in the home and an essential component of a smooth morning routine. Walking into your closet and knowing where everything is because it has a designated spot will save you lots of time and stress.

I have a lot of shoes, but I don’t know where to put them. We can help with that! Need a closet that meets your little children’s needs but will also work for them as they grow? We can do that too! Custom closets put you back in control of your stuff and let you have a closet ideally suited to your family’s needs.

Custom Pantries

If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then the pantry is the pump that keeps it going. It is where some of the most important things are kept, including the ingredients for those family dinners. When there is a lack of proper storage and accessibility to the essentials, problems arise. A custom pantry lets you create a space that fits your lifestyle.

Do you do a lot of baking? We can make pullout drawers that let you easily find all those dry ingredients. Are you wondering where to store those cumbersome but necessary kitchen tools, like a KitchenAid? We can create custom shelves that make storing such items easy. A custom pantry gives you the organization you need, so you spend less time searching for items and more time with your family.

Custom Drop Zones

Every house has one spot where everything gets dumped and ends up looking like a dump. Enter the drop zone, a custom piece built to accommodate your needs. We have built several of these for our clients, and they have had excellent outcomes. One client needed a drop zone with individual cubbies for their children and a charging dock inside. This made it easy to store and recharge their devices when they placed them there at the end of the day. This customization ensured the children always grabbed a fully charged iPad before going to school. Let us help you create a piece that will enable you to stay on track and be prepared for those early morning rushes out the door.

Smooth Mornings

By going custom in these three top areas of the home, you can eliminate headaches, chaos, and utter frustration, giving you more time to spend on the essentials of life.

A remodel is exciting because it means your home is getting ready to be transformed. What was dysfunctional, dated, and dim will be turned into a functional, stylish, and bright space. Of course, like anything else, there are questions you have, questions we have been asked numerous times over the years, and we are sharing our answers with you.

What to do when you don’t have the luxury of square footage? How can you create storage when there is not much room to begin with? Can you make small spaces work for you? These are good questions that we have helped our clients answer numerous times.

You choose to tackle the problem head-on and successfully discard everything that needs to go, but you are concerned that the same thing will happen again. This is why we created this post: 5 home organization products that can help you stay organized and enjoy peace of mind in your home.
