Our Guide to Customizing Your Closet
Sometimes, when it comes to bedroom closet organization, it may be best to start from the ground up. A brand-new custom closet can revolutionize how you organize and use your space, and all three of The Container Store's Custom Closets systems can transform your closet in different ways. Whether you have a big or small space, our guide below can help you decide which solution works best for you.
Building Your Bespoke Closet
1. Assess Your Needs:
Prior to your closet makeover, take an inventory of your needs, wants, and limitations. Do you have a reach-in closet or a walk-in closet? Is it your own closet, or a shared space? What clothes do you wear most? What storage space challenges do you face? Do you need more hanging space, shoe shelves, or drawer organization? Need more shelf space for sweaters or purses? This self-assessment is key to helping you create a solution that provides you with maximum functionality and enough space for your wardrobe.
2. Consult the Experts:
Let us do the complicated work for you! With our free in-store or virtual design consultations, our team can create a new closet design for you based on your budget, style, and needs.
3. Choose Your Champion:
- Elfa: Our original custom closet system, Elfa's strength, adjustability, and versatility is still unmatched. With its variety of components—including drawers, closet rods, solid or wire shelves, and pull-out shoe storage racks—the possibilities are endless.
- Avera: Craving a more built-in look that better fits your home decor? Avera steps in with premium finishes and options such as soft-close drawers, glass closet shelving, back wall panels, cubbies, and integrated LED lighting that transform your closet space into a boutique-worthy oasis.
- Preston: For those who prefer more luxurious storage solution, Preston delivers with its elegant reclaimed wood finishes and floor-based system. In addition to stylish doors, drawers, and lighting, you can radically upgrade your space with features such as a wall bed, an island kiosk, a pull-down hanging clothes rod, or a 360-degree rotating organizer.
Based on your vision, pick your perfect closet storage system. Elfa's flexibility and affordability win for practical spaces, especially small closets. Preston's luxe vibes add a touch of glamour. And Avera strikes a nice balance between the two.
