After more than four decades in the storage and organization business, we've had the pleasure of seeing countless closets, pantries, garages, laundry rooms, offices, and more transformed by the versatility and beauty of Elfa. In fact, in 2021 alone we've seen so many great space makeovers--from our Brand Ambassadors, from influencers, and from our customers--that we wanted to share a few of them to celebrate the end of year. 

Take a look at some of our favorites below, and we hope they'll inspire you to transform your own spaces in the new year! 

The Sapp Family's Double Elfa Closet Transformation

Like many families, the Sapps had closet issues. While their shared closet was a decent size, there never seemed to be enough room for Kelly and Cason to put things. There were similar issues with the closet in their boys' playroom. Eventually, the daily frustration caused by the closets was too much. It was time for a transformation. The Sapps hadn't really considered a custom closet before - believing it would be too expensive. But after exploring their options at The Container Store, they were pleasantly surprised. Both Kelly and Cason fell in love with our Elfa closet system.

Jamie Lynn Acker's Craft Space

Blogger Jamie Lynn Acker used Elfa to create what she calls "the craft space of [her] dreams." She worked with the design specialists at our new Annapolis store location and ended up with a system of shelves, utility boards, and drawers to store all of her family's craft supplies. (She even added a coloring table for them!) Stocked with products from The Home Edit by iDesign collection for keeping every marker in its proper place, it truly is a creative person's dream. "It's my happy place!" she raves. 

Our Brand Ambassadors' Custom Elfa Spaces

At The Container Store, we like to think of a cluttered closet or an under-utilized space in much the same way that a painter regards a blank canvas--as an abundance of possibilities. For us, the "trouble areas" of our customers' homes represent enormous untapped potential and where we begin transforming lives through the power of organization.

Because Elfa is one of the most tried-and-true ways to transform any space, it is especially beloved by our Brand Ambassadors. They frequently use it to help solve organization challenges in both their clients' and their own homes.
