The Perfect Closet is One That Works for You

You notice it when you make the seasonal change of wardrobe. As you’re putting away winter garments and bringing the spring/summer outfits to the forefront, it becomes obvious. Your current closet configurations are not working to your advantage.

This may be the perfect time to consider a custom closet that can provide a more permanent, efficient and elegant solution to your clothing storage challenges. Working with a professional designer can ensure that every inch of space is used to the max, and that every new element and accessory is going to meet your needs and make your life easier.

While the overall design and style of a closet remake will vary by client, there are a few accessories that the well-appointed closet of 2011 will not want to be without. The key is to think pull out, pull down and modular. According to industry gurus, here are a few of the amenities you should include in your closet makeover:

Valet Rails. These handy helpers telescope in and out to put your selection of shirts or pants at your fingertips.

 Jewelry Dividers: It’s easy to forget about convenient jewelry storage, but when you are searching for the perfect pearl earrings or silver chain, you will be glad you opted for a jewelry divider system as part of your new closet design.

Baskets or Boxes: Sometimes portable storage within your closet system is advantageous. Hats and purses, for example, can be housed in a variety of    baskets or boxes that not only conserve space and display items in style, they enable you to bring them out for a closer look. Neff of Chicago’s Valet closet collection offers leather trimmed storage boxes for an added touch of elegance. 

                                                                                                                                    Belt Racks: Keep your entire belt collection in one place, so it’s a cinch when you are trying to pull together an outfit. Wall mounted belt racks will make the best use of space that’s not suited to hanging or shelves. Telescoping or pullout belt racks are another option. Slide them in and out to view your choices at a glance.
