Need a Custom Closet? – 5 Questions to Ask Yourself

Tired of sifting through the never-ending amount of garments you have hanging in your closet just to put together the single outfit you had in mind? Can’t find the pants to match the shirt?

While life can be messy and disorganized, closets should not.  They should make life easier.  A custom closet that’s designed and organized based on your needs, provides much more organization and maximizes storage space, which means less frustration.

Tailored Living of Knoxville professionals will meet with you in your home, listen to your specific needs, and work with you to design a space that fits your everyday lifestyle. Here are some preliminary custom closet questions to ask yourself before calling for your in-home consultation:

How much space do I have to work with?

This is the primary aspect to factor into your closet planning. Knowing how much space you have will help the professional Tailored Living designer determine the best organizational system for your closet. Also, consider ceiling height when you take inventory of the closet space. Making use of every inch can be important if you’re working with a small space.

What types of clothing am I storing?

Some people only want to hang shirts, blouses, and pants in their closet and leave other items such as undergarments stored in a bedroom dresser. Think about what types of clothing and accessories you want to store inside your closet and it will help you put together a picture of your organizational needs.

Which accessories and organizers do I need?

Convenient accessories like jewelry drawers, fold-out ironing boards, tilt-out hampers, drawer organizers, and pullout belt racks are among the many options that bring order to the closet and help you easily find items.

What do you want to display for convenience?

From ladies’ scarves to men’s ties, for multiple items of the same type of clothing, there are closet organizers and designs that provide convenience and style.

What is my budget?

While the cost really depends on the size of your closet, a basic system with hanging and shelves will cost less than including cabinets and drawers. Additionally, the finish color you choose will impact your budget.  A white finish will always be less expensive than wood grains and darker finishes.

These are just a few ideas to keep in mind when thinking about your custom closet design. Once you have considered your budget, what you need to store, and the space you have to work with, Tailored Living of Knoxville will design a custom closet system with features built around you and your lifestyle!
