If you never had the opportunity to design your dream closet, you may not be aware that a special slide-out rack for your slacks is even an option. 

There’s much more within reach than many realize. Today, we’re offering a sneak peek of what a pro at your local Designery may suggest for your custom closet remodel. Here are a few features you definitely don’t want to miss out on.

Built-in hampers

We never recommend letting freestanding hampers and baskets eat up the floor space in your closet. Custom closet design featuring tilt-out or pull-out designs improves function and space. And when it’s fully integrated into your bespoke closet cabinetry, it never says, “dirty laundry lives here.”

Why the closet can be a great location for a hamper

Do you have an “in-between” chair or corner? You know the one. It’s where you drop clothes that aren’t soiled, but also not exactly clean. If you want your new closet to stay organized and tidy, you have to make a choice. An on-site hamper prevents pileup. 

Custom hanging spaces

Hems dragging the ground, wrinkled blouses askew–there’s a reason you slide right past your options, looking for a more appealing choice. Rods at varying heights, extendable valet rods, and racks for collections of a particular type of garment can help.

The psychology of hanging your clothes at a particular height

Stores have long hung clothes at a general height for maximum accessibility. However, truly exceptional pieces that they want to stand out tend to hang higher. This is a great strategy for displaying your own “sizzle pieces” in a personal closet. 

However, in our homes, stuff we have to reach higher for can get overlooked. Pull-down rods provide easy access to your most desirable outfits, no stepladder needed. 

Drawers tailored to your wardrobe

When you build a custom closet, we’re not talking about your average dresser drawer. Get the ideal depth and dimensions for your sweater collection. Untangle that nest of socks once and for all. Tiered construction, trays, and placement that make perfect sense. 

Stop buying accessories at big box stores

Don’t invest in a custom closet and then try to force mass-market plastic inside. The Designery curates a robust range of quality inserts, dividers, racks, rods, and more. Velvet-lined jewelry organizers, glass-front cases and cupboards, and so much more.

We can recommend and provide the best product for organizing your new custom closet. 

 

Mixing metals in high style

Small details have a big impact, and hardware is a great example of this. From light fixtures to drawer pulls, the choice is yours. Pick satin-finish brass handles to coordinate with your gold-tone hanger hooks. Consider brushed nickel knobs for cool-toned cabinetry. The choices are endless, so take your time with these functional finishing touches.

Custom hardware for custom closets

Hardware isn’t just about color or finish. Proportions and lines make a huge difference, too. Whether you want your handles to be a traditional one-third the length of the drawer, or want high drama with more length and heft, this is a feature that can transform a design. So, don’t be shy about asking a designer to find the perfect pieces.
