The designer or a measuring specialist will come to your home and measure all aspects of your closet. They will then go back to their office and design a closet based on your needs.



You'll usually end up paying a fee for the designs associated with them, but the final cost will usually cover the installation.

Closet cabinetry systems have dozens of options available for the space. Of course, there is hanging space both for short and long garments, and flat shelf space.

You'll also have shoe options, which might include flat or tilted shelves, or even gliding racks. Hanging areas will be placed at the perfect height, and all the extra space will be maximized with shelving.

Drawers are often included as part of the design, too. The closet designer should work with you, asking questions to determine exactly what you need in your space.

There is one drawback with all this: By installing closet cabinets, the little space will feel even smaller than usual. There are ways to work around this, such as installing extra lighting.

Sometimes, the closet designer will be able to include this, but other times, you will need to do it yourself or hire an electrician. Be sure to bring up any concerns about this with your closet designer.

You can choose from a variety of finishes and materials for your closet cabinets. Hardwood, melamine, white wood, walnut--you have many different looks you can go with.

Don't forget to buy new hangers to complement the brand new look of your closet. If you don't, your snazzy closet system could look a little odd with those pastel hangers from high school.

Once you have settled on a closet with your closet designer, the installation will be scheduled.

Be sure to ask the designer if you will be expected to empty your own closet, or if that is included as part of the installation process. You will love your new closet cabinets!
