Top Custom Closet Features for an Organized Life
Adjustable Shelves
- Great for families
- Make adjustments to fit your needs
With adjustable shelving, you make your closet space work for you. That means, you can change the position of the shelving to accommodate your belongings, taking advantage of using every last inch.
Soft-close Doors, Drawers & Hardware
- Store folded clothes in dedicated spaces
- Soft-close design offers a high-end experience
- Doors close off the view
- Lockable drawers available
For items that are better suited for folding, or tucking away, consider adding drawers in the design of your walk-in closet. These are a great way to store items and folded clothes. Doors close nicely in walk-in closets to close off the view and reduce a ‘cluttered’ feel.
Double Hang Bars
- Take advantage of vertical height
- Perfect for Denver condos
For generations, the standard closet came with one hang bar that ran the width of the closet. As one of the top custom closet features, you can utilize the vertical space by creating a double section of hanging clothes–one over top of the other.
Shoe Shelves
- Keep shoes off the floor and stored together
- Adjustable shelves for flats, heels and boots
If there is one thing we could use more of, it’s shoe organization! One of the most popular custom closet features in Denver is shoe shelving. Seasonal shoes and specialty footwear are easily stored–out of the way, and in the right place–for the next time they are needed.
Tilt-Open Hampers
- Organized collection for laundry
- Finishes match hardware throughout
Tilt-open hampers add valuable function to the closet–they’re always where you expect them to be. Add more than one for his and her hampers, or choose to designate a ‘dry cleaning’ hamper to collect garments before sending to the cleaners. The best part? No one can take it away to use it (and forget to bring it back!). It’s always in the same spot.
Custom Island for Walk-in Closets
- Adds countertop for usable space
- High-end design
If you have enough space in your walk-in closet, an island is a dynamic way to use the open center of the space. The countertop adds value–an ideal spot for folding or sorting. Around the holidays, it’s a great (and inconspicuous!) spot for wrapping gifts behind closed doors.
Bench Seating
- Convenient seating when needed
- Customize with cubbies or drawers
Sometimes, you just need to take a seat when you’re looking around your closet, getting inspired and starting the day off with a cup of coffee. Other times, it’s the end of the day, and as you’re changing, taking a moment to rest can be priceless. A custom bench is also a great spot for your kids to sit and color while you’re putting away laundry or going through items. Benches can be customized with drawers for storage. Bench seating with is a great option for any room in your home, including the garage storage cabinets you set up–allowing you to take off and put on boots for your next outdoor adventure.

Popular Closet Finishes & Materials
In today’s market of custom closets, we have found that everyone loves a white closet–it’s clean and fresh. But it’s not your only choice. Soft wood tones, like cottage brown, offers a beautiful color that goes well with every design style. Light oak finishes are quite popular, as homeowners want the softness of wood without too much color. Dark wood tones create a dramatic contrast in design with sharp features. Pair these closet finishes with pulls and hardware that complete the look. Living in Colorado, we appreciate the laminate materials that our closet systems are made of. Durable and high-quality, these materials withstand climate changes throughout the year.
