Seems pretty simple? You might want to start with less personal items like shoes or books before tackling mementos and your old prom dress. By the end you will find that you will probably end up discarding half of what you own. It really is that simple!

Mirrors and Lighting

Add a little bit of utility and openness to your storage space with mirrors and custom lighting. You can take a dark closet space and transform it into a useful area for every day.

3 Tricks to Squeeze Every Bit of Space out of Your Closet

Urban dwellers make the most out of small living spaces. Spacious closets can be a luxury, but those who live in tiny quarters find ways to maximize their space like unique closet door ideas, adding extender rods, or using closet organizers. What are some of the best ways to make the most of your closet?

Custom Closet Organization Systems

To make the absolute most out of your small closet spaces, take advantage of a custom-designed closet organization system. Working with a designer, you can find the best storage and closet door ideas to maximize space in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Use Every Nook and Cranny

Don’t let any corner of your closet go to waste. Avoid dumping clothes and boxes in the closet and instead invest in top quality hooks, drawers, shelf dividers, and storage containers to make the most of every spot. Hooks and extender rods can double the space you have in your closet.

Ideally you want to be able to reach almost anything in your closet without having to worry about something falling on your head or having to pull out a dozen boxes before reaching what you need. You can even use simple hanging storage on the back of your closet door for easy, simple storage.

Clean House

Don’t worry, you don’t have to go all Marie Kondo and toss out everything that doesn’t bring you joy, but you should consider what you actually need to keep. Do you really need two dozen pairs of shoes, that old jacket you haven’t worn in a decade, or dozens of audio cables? Consider pulling out everything, yes everything, from your closet.

Sort through your items. Make four piles: Keep, Trash, Recycle, and Donate. Sometimes it is easier to toss items if you know that someone else you know will use the item. For example, give away good quality children’s clothing, books, and toys to a foster home. Enjoy every bit of space in your closet and do a bit of good, too.

How Much Does a Walk-In Wardrobe Cost?

We all love the luxury of a custom walk-in wardrobe. Besides providing a unique customized space where you can dress, you can enjoy the convenience of the latest trending closet organizer systems. What do you need to consider when installing a custom walk-in closet? Let’s find out!

Professional Installment

Why do you want to install your walk-in wardrobe professionally? Unless your home comes with a modern closet already equipped with the latest in closet organizer systems, you most likely will need to either renovate the space extensively. Even if you have a walk-in closet, you will benefit from the expert advice of an experienced designer who will help you make the most of your space.

Cost Considerations

The size of the closet will determine the cost, as well as what type of system you opt for. A larger closet that has to be reconstructed in an older home may cost more than simply installing a professional organization system in a ready-made closet. Some systems will cost you around one thousand dollars, but expect higher costs for more high-end options. On average, renovation will cost a few thousand dollars for the closet and the system.

Options

Speak with your designer about your unique needs. For example, do you need his and hers closets or will the wardrobe be for a single individual? Do you want to equip the closet with space to dress and possibly a vanity area? Do you need to accommodate an extensive shoe collection or a wide array of suits? Speak to the designer about your specific needs and she will help you decide on the system that fits your needs best.

The walk-in wardrobe is typically right off of the master bedroom both for convenience and aesthetics. Many homeowners install a vanity, mirrors, and other options to increase the use of the space. Custom lighting can make a drab dark space into a vibrant place of solace and luxury.

Speak with our closet professionals today about how we can help you design the perfect walk-in-wardrobe.

Top 4 Home Office Ideas

workspace-designWorking from home can sometimes be a harrowing experience. Clutter builds up and it seems like there are distractions and noises everywhere. Utilize good workspace design to organize your office, focus on your work, and create an aesthetically pleasing space with these simple ideas.

Organization

Before you can start working in your office again, address the need for organization. Do you have tons of clutter, papers, and trash surrounding you? Does it look like a computer cable jungle? Then install closet organizers and custom cabinetry in your workspace design. Besides being functional, having extra storage hides away the unnecessary mess and allows you to focus clutter-free on your task at hand. There are many closet organizer systems that you can use. Custom cabinets designs can accommodate computer gear, office equipment, unsightly files, and more. Speak with an experienced design professional about your unique organizational needs.

Personal Taste

While you want to keep your overall home office space clean and professional, don’t forget to add in a little fun. Personalized photographs and special keepsakes can add a little bit of personality to a space without adding clutter and distraction. Keep the room functional, but add in a little bit of humor.

Lighting

Never underestimate the power of good custom lighting. If you are the computer for hours on end or have to read hundreds of papers as part of your work, have warm white lighting to help avoid eye strain. Electronics emit harmful blue light. Be sure that you allow your eyes to rest and have enough lighting to do your work without harming your eyes. Setting up your desk by a window, to give yourself a view and provide natural lighting, is an excellent way to use lighting to your advantage. Talk with a professional designer about how you can use office organizers and lighting to enhance your work experience.

Add a Little Green

Nothing breathes life into a room like adding beautiful lush greenery. Besides enhancing the overall aesthetics of your office, plants also clean the air and trigger feelings of joy in your brain. Add several plants to your home office space.
Reorganize and rethink your home office to increase overall productivity. Enjoy the space. Make your office uniquely you.

3 Finishing Touches for Your Kitchen Design

pantry-shelvingYou are almost done with your kitchen renovation. Finally, you will have the beautiful kitchen of your dreams, with modern kitchen cabinets and efficient pantry shelving. But don’t forget the little finishing touches for your perfect home kitchen design.

Storage

When designing a new kitchen or renovating an older kitchen, it is easy to overlook storage. After all, storage areas are often unseen – pantry shelving and little nooks and crannies for our favorite kitchen gadgets and silverware. But don’t forget to consider your workflow and storage needs when designing. Be sure that you have plenty of room to store pantry items, kitchenware, pots and pans, and even your blender. Speak with your contractor about how you can maximize your space.

Creative Backsplash

Many times homeowners will forget about the backsplash. This tiny detail is an easy way to imprint your taste and unique style in your home. There are so many incredibly trendy and popular options for backsplashes today. Choose from a contemporary tiled look to a fun and crazy pattern. Use recycled materials for a truly unique look or opt for something more traditional.

Knick Knacks

Does your kitchen say anything about YOU? If not, add a few special knick-knacks and pictures that say a little something about your style and your personality. For example, maybe you love Paris? Then head to a thrift shop and purchase a few little items to remind you of Paris. Or maybe you have a penchant for Latin American cooking, your family history, or even just love flowers. Add photos, porcelain figures, unique kitchen items, and trendy colorful napkins and floral arrangements to make your kitchen uniquely you.
These are just a few ways to add some personal last finishing touches to your kitchen design. They are simple and fun, letting you share your taste and personal style with friends and family.
