November 30th, 2009 No comments

Wardrobe systems are something that can benefit anyone. No matter if your living space is big or small; a system is available that will suit it. There are also a broad range of choices available at different prices. Without the need to do any major assembly, it is likely to acquire a tailored space for your clothing and accessories that will fit your everyday life. Though this sort of customization used to cost a quite bit, there are now many ways to make these sorts of systems affordable.

There are benefits to all of the types of wardrobe systems available on the market today. Therefore, it is important to see what will work best for you and your space. If price is your primary concern, it is probably best to go with a pre-made option. Now available both online and in many big-box stores, these systems can be purchased as a whole or can be bought in a few different pieces so as to get a more customized look.

Though it entails a bit of effort, you can get what you want for the right price. This means buying a pre-made wardrobe system and then modifying it with additional pieces. By doing so, you can keep overheads down without sacrificing a near perfect fit. It is essential to get imaginative and think outside of the square when playing with pre-made wardrobes.

If money is less of a worry, a custom-made design is indeed the way to go. By taking into account the dimensions of your space, the number and sorts of clothes that you have, and your style likings, these customized wardrobe systems will be what you’ve dreamt of. We all know what it is like trying to find a good place to put strange shaped or fragile items. With this option, it is easy to perfectly care for and find each piece of clothing or accessory.

Whether your liking is for pre-made or custom-built, everyone should first perform an inventory of how the items they want to store and how they want to organize them. Some stores can help you evaluate this, but it is best to see what works for you. Make notes of what is not working in your current wardrobe, which items you would rather be hung or folded, and your own individual height. This is imperative, because you want most items to be easily reachable. By taking this inventory, searching through the different wardrobe systems will leave you with the perfect storage solution.

Closet and Storage Design

August 10th, 2009 No comments

Have you ever thought about how much storage space you really need in your next new house? It’s understandable that it’s not the first thing on your mind when you are figuring floor plans and where the home entertainment center should go. But designing your closet storage in your new home should be almost as important as any other area.

Let me help you with some inventive ideas for realizing how important your closet storage design really is. A properly designed system for keeping your things organized and easily accessible is the key to a happy home.

These days, closets are much more than a simple square box with a clothes rod and shelf overhead. Closets now have turned into specialized storage spaces, with shelves and boxes and hangers specially suited to the objects they will house. The trend towards walk-in closets has also continued, so much more though needs to be given to the effective and efficient use of these larger storage areas.

So the first big question when designing each of your storage areas is whether it should be a walk-in or not. The biggest factor for most people will be the space (and therefore cost) that a walk-in closet requires. If that’s not a concern for you, then the second question should be “do I really need a walk-in closet”? Remember, if you have too much storage space, it will typically be used, and the danger of clutter is just as much a concern as if you have too little room to store your items.

You may decide that you just don’t have room in your new house to dedicate to a walk-in closet. In this case you have to make sure that you allocate enough room in your house design to the old standby – reach in closets. Be sure to pay attention to the design of your closet, however big or small. Access is the most important part of a closet – you must be able to easily access the contents in your closet, so make sure not to stick a tiny door on a wide closet and not be able to get to the corners in your closet.

Whether your closet is large or small, it will be essential to install good lighting, which will light all corners of the closet. There is nothing worse than not having enough lighting so that you can’t see what is at the back of shelves or under ledges. Make sure that the lighting you install is positioned in a way that the shelving and objects stored don’t block the light, and also keep in mind the shadow you will cast when you are looking for something in your closet.

Finally you want to think about the shelving itself, whether it will be built-in or freestanding, if you need boxes or drawers, and if you are going to use hangers and a rod, or hooks. A little research into modern closets will reveal a huge advancement with inovative storage systems. Designing closet space so you have a tidy space for all your everyday as well as seasonal belongings is less of a chore when you install storage units specially designed for the items you want to store.

Properly designed closets make life better. I think that good closet design is the unsung hero in any home. Put some time and effort into designing your new closets and you will be handsomely rewarded.
