3 Reasons Custom Closets Are Worth It

But is a custom closet really worth it? Do you need it? Is it just an indulgence? Or should you just find a way to live with your current closet setup?

As it turns out, custom closets really are worth it. They can save you from frustration, save you time, and even save you money. Take a look at some of the reasons why custom closets are definitely worth it for you. 

But “too small” doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to knock out a wall and make your closet bigger. It’s entirely possible that if the closet was designed in a way that maximized your space and took your specific needs into account, it wouldn’t be too small at all. It isn’t the size of the space, necessarily, it’s the way that the space is being used. A generic closet design doesn’t take your large assortment of hats into account, for example, or make space for that collection of antique quilts passed down from your great-grandmother that you need to be able to store. But a custom closet can give you those accommodations. 

Custom closets give you back time that you may not have even realized you were losing. How nice would it be to wake up in the morning and be able to easily grab exactly what you need from your closet without having to think about it or hunt for it? With the time you’ll save, you could eat a more leisurely breakfast, get an earlier start, or just sleep in for a little bit longer. 

And there are other time benefits too. A closet that’s customized to meet your needs is easy to keep clean, so you don’t have to spend your off days sorting it out. It also makes other housecleaning faster and easier. When you have closets that are optimized and offer designated places for everything you need to store in them, it’s easy to pick things up around the house and put them back where they belong. You’ll reduce the amount of clutter in your house, and when clutter does accumulate, you’ll be able to deal with it quickly. And that means that you’ll have more time to focus on the things that are most important to you. 

How often have you found the shirt that you’re looking for, only to realize that it’s missing a button or has a rip in the sleeve? How many times have you had to have a suit dry cleaned because it got knocked off a hangar and ended up on the floor, getting dirty and wrinkled? These things happen in closets that aren’t designed to handle everything that’s stuffed into them. Clothes that are crammed too closely together rub up against each other. Zippers or buttons get caught on pockets or seams, leading to rips and tears. When you dig through a crowded closet, it’s easy to knock clothing off of the hangers – and if there are already things on the floor, you may not notice it right away. In the meantime, the fallen clothing gets dirty, wrinkled, or damaged – and you end up paying to clean, repair, or replace it. 

Even worse, you may find yourself buying duplicate items that you don’t need, simply because you can’t find the original item that you purchased. This is common in kitchen closets and pantries – you check for grocery staples and don’t see them, so you add them to your shopping list. Then, as you’re putting your groceries away, you discover that you already had the items that you just finished shopping for. You just couldn’t see them in a crowded closet. With custom closets, you’ll be able to easily see and take inventory of what you have and avoid duplicate purchases. 

On top of that, if you’re planning to sell your home within the next few years, you may be leaving money on the table if your closets are not customized. Everyone needs good, functional storage spaces, and custom closets can be a big selling point for potential buyers.
