Custom Closet Designs in Miami FL: All the European Trends in Your Room!

By Cedric Barton

If you are trying to make your closet look nice you should pay attention to this advices. Given by professional designers, here you will find the ultimate tips to organize your closet in a unique stylish way.

Try to create a balanced and visually appealing design. You're investing your time and money....so be sure you like the finished product. Determine how much of each clothing storage "type" you need (eg. hanging, folded, drawers). Some professional organizers recommend doing a detailed inventory....but who has the time. Just make a general estimate of what you use now, and note any deficiencies. For example: you have 10 feet of hanging space, but could use another 2 feet.

Don't underestimate how much space you require for hanging clothes, and don't plan too much area for long hanging. With today's fashions most people don't need more than 12 to 24 horizontal inches of long hanging space.

Begin by organizing your hanging clothes by type such as separating tops from bottoms. If your outfit has a top and bottom, utilize the bottom rod for the pants and skirts and the top rod for jackets, blouses or shirts. Another solution for your closet is to divide the shirts by type. Such as, sweaters, long sleeves, short sleeves etc. When you have a specific location for each type of clothing, it helps to give your closet a neater appearance. Thus, it is easier to find what you are looking for as well.

Use the corners for hanging space not shelves. Corner shelves are usually too deep and folded clothes get lost. However, corners work well for hanging clothes where occasional use items can be moved to the back. Leave ample vertical space between shelves for folded clothes. The minimum height is 8 inches, the maximum is 18 inches and the optimum height 12 inches. Too little height creates deep dark spaces and too much height wastes space and stacked clothes fall over.

Use pre-assembled cabinets in your design when possible. Shelf widths and heights are designed to standard industry measurement. This removes some of the guess-work for first time designers.

If you have many small items, try to store them out of site. Small items can give the appearance of a cluttered closet. This is when a storage bin or box is a good closet solution. A good closet re-organization is more than just re-arranging your belongings. Creating a closet space that is both functional and pleasing to the eye is the aim of total closet re-organization.

Make a space for your dirty laundry hamper. Keep in mind that you must tote that full hamper to your laundry room. Retractable hampers that slide on runners is an ideal system for most closets. I hope these tips are helpful and good luck designing your custom closet. - 29977
