How Closets Have Evolved Over the Years

Back in our grandparents and great-grandparents days, closets were much smaller. The reason is simple. They needed fewer clothes and shoes and many of them could not afford all that we expect today. As homes grew larger and people’s incomes increased, the average American spent much more on clothing, shoes, purses, hats, ties, and other personal items. Today we want more space to store, display, and try them one. Walk-in closets are the norm.

The design of closets and the materials used to create them have changed. Several decades ago most closets consisted of real wood shelves. As quality wood products became scarcer man-made materials gradually took over. We next added bins and a few drawers for better organization. White closet systems came into vogue. The trend went to wire shelving. All of this is fast going out of style. Now the industrial look is strong in kitchens, bathrooms, and closets.

Custom Closets Are the New Norm in Parkland

Custom closets are a way of making the best use of bedroom space and organizing your life. Cluttered closets create some stress and wasted time looking for things. Have you looked for just one item and can’t find it? If you have done this, you know the feeling.

You can get frustrated looking for this one item when it’s really important to find it. It can even interrupt your morning getting ready for work. Overcome these types of dilemmas by creating custom closets in bedrooms, hallways, and any other places you need them. Your life will be much easier if you do.

Custom closets and storage solutions go hand in hand. Better ways to store and display your items include:

• Shelves
• Bins
• Boxes
• Drawers
• Hutches
• Upgraded hangers
• Sitting bench
• Mirrors
• Lighting
• Combinations of these

Let your imagination be your guide in designing and creating beautiful custom closets. Most homeowners don’t have the skills to do the kind of work they want. That’s why you should consider hiring experienced craftsmen to create your masterpieces.

Stock and pre-fabricated closets are no longer the norms in Parkland. Custom closets set the standards for many homes in the area. Residents are tired of the same old design and materials found in everyone’s homes. Be different and stand out with your own personalized closets.

Clothes Rods Are Important

When designing your bedroom closets always build in plenty of room for hanging clothes. This way you won’t have the excuse of leaving them lying around the room. Tip: Put clothes in the closet as soon as they are cleaned or when you finish trying them on. Your bedroom will look neat the next time you walk in. Don’t mix the type of hangers in a closet. It looks neater to have all of them be either wire, wood, plastic, or material covered.

Maximize the Space

You must design closets that are a combination of using all available space and not looking cluttered. Use the storage ideas found in the previous section for a clean look. Organize clothes on hangers by putting them in three areas; long, medium, and short. You can store items under the shorter clothing items.

Lighting Makes the Difference

You can make your closet look like a million dollars by using the right type of lighting. You will enjoy looking for clothes more with natural lighting instead of older style bulbs. Think about recesses or track lighting to show off your personal items. LED lighting is the new norm. One last tip: Clean out your old unwanted items regularly. If you don’t, you will have clutter.
