The reach-in closet…we’ve all got them, and they are oftentimes very inefficient for what should be a space to help us organize our belongings. At Rocky Mountain Shutters, Shades & Closets, we are the experts in turning a messy closet into a highly efficient, well-designed sanctuary of storage and organization. Let’s explore the possibilities.
The Standard Closet
When it comes to standard closets, there are actually two versions we see all the time. The first one features a hang bar all the way across with a wooden shelf above it. The other one offers a wire shelf rack, to be used as a shelf AND for hanging clothes. This set-up within a reach-in closet can be frustrating for homeowners for a number of reasons.
These closets tend to get very messy as other stuff piles up underneath the hanging clothes, in boxes, bags and bins. There’s no rhyme or reason to how items are organized, making it difficult to find or access belongings. This situation can also lead you to spend money here and there on organizational items that aren’t always high quality or don’t meet your needs from one phase to the next, which is very common with children’s closets. What can be done?
Use All the Vertical Space
The best thing about custom closets is the opportunity to use all the vertical space within the closet. There’s no more wasted space. When you work with a professional, you can determine how much hanging you really need, what the shelving will hold and if drawers should be added to the design.
Meet Changing Needs of a Family
Another benefit of custom closets is the ever-changing ability to adjust the layout. From hang bars to shelves, the layout of the closet can change to meet the changing needs and various sizing of items being stored. This is especially helpful in a growing child’s closet, when items go from being itty bitty, to larger and larger. Where bins hold diapers, wipes and tiny sheet sets, that get traded out for books, games and toys. These customizable adjustments mean that the organization of your reach-in closet will always meet your needs.
Enjoy Specialty Features
Not only do custom closets offer shelving, multiple sections of hanging, drawers and use of all the vertical space, but you can further customize the organization opportunity with a number of specialty add-ons that make life so much better. Valet bars, tie racks–or scarf organizers), hampers, jewelry drawers, dividers, hooks…you name it, and we can help you organize it!
