Custom Closet Cabinetry & Design
When it comes to designing and renovating a closet, you can maximize storage, enhance accessibility to your belongings, and improve organization.
Part of designing a closet for your space involves tailoring it to your style preferences. There are three main types of closet cabinet designs to consider:
- Modern: These have clean lines and simple features, focusing on functionality and a modern look.
- Traditional: These offer a cozy, timeless feel with classic details and warm finishes.
- Transitional: Combining modern and traditional styles, they blend contemporary and classic elements for a harmonious look.

Walk-in VS. Built-in Closet Designs
If you are renovating the closets in your home, the option between a walk-in versus a built-in closet will be a decision to make based on your needs and preferences.
Both options offer benefits and contribute to keeping your home tidy and clutter free. The choice that suits you best will vary based on a number of factors including available space, budget, and your desired functionality for the closet.
Walk-in
A walk-in closet is often considered a luxury feature in a master bedroom or bathroom due to its spaciousness and extra storage, allowing it to function almost like an additional room.
Walk-in closets can vary greatly in size, typically starting at 6.5 feet in depth. They are designed for accessibility, with doors opening outward to maximize interior storage. These closets often feature amenities like islands, vanities, and electrical outlets for added convenience.
The advantages of walk-in closets include ample storage and organization, customization options to suit individual needs and preferences, easy accessibility, and an increase in home value, making them desirable features for potential buyers.
Built-In
Built-in closets are a common feature in many homes, especially smaller residences where space is limited. With an average depth of about two feet, built-in closets maximize storage without taking up excess square footage. They typically run floor-to-ceiling and utilize high shelving for seasonal items. The advantages of built-in closets include their space efficiency, seamless integration into room aesthetics, cost-effectiveness compared to custom options, and versatility in accommodating various storage needs. They offer well-designed storage solutions for linen, coats, clothing, and shoes, making them a practical choice for homeowners seeking efficient and functional storage solutions without the expense of custom designs.
Closet Solutions in Your Home
Designed for clothing, shoes, and accessories, custom bedroom closets ensure efficient storage and a clutter-free environment. They maximize space, offer tailored storage solutions, and enhance the bedroom's overall look and feel.
Pantry closets organize food items and kitchen supplies. They optimize space, improve accessibility to frequently used items, and contribute to a more efficient kitchen environment with more counter space.
Laundry closets create functional spaces for washing, drying, and storing laundry supplies. They maximize space efficiency and hide laundry appliances if needed for a cleaner appearance so you have more space to do laundry.
Office closets transform spaces into more productive work areas. By providing a designated space for work or study, they maximize storage, organize office supplies, and enhance productivity by reducing any clutter and distractions.
Hallway and entry closets store coats, shoes, and outdoor essentials, optimizing space in unique areas. They improve organization, create a welcoming impression for anyone entering your home, and increase functionality typically where there are fewer storage solutions.

Our Custom Closet Design & Renovation Process
Renovating your closet allows you to tailor the space to your needs. While we do not perform closet renovations, we partner with Contractors for any renovation projects and focus on achieving the best project results for our clients.
There are 7 main steps to consider when completing a custom closet design and renovation project.
Step 1: Get Organized: Decluttering is the first step in renovating. You need to take stock of what you'll be storing in the closet to design the new space strategically.
Step 2: Measure the Space: Accurately measure your closet's dimensions, considering height, length, and depth, accounting for any irregularities like sloped ceilings or door placements.
Step 3: Know your Budget: Determine your budget for the renovation, considering costs for materials, labour, and any additional features or accessories you desire.
Step 4: Plan the Interior: Plan the layout and style of your new closet, choosing between the level of customization, materials and features based on your aesthetic and functional requirements.
Step 5: Organization Add-Ons: To optimize space and functionality, consider additional organizational components like sorting baskets, see-in storage containers, labelled bins, hooks, specialty hangers, shoe racks, and mirrors.
Step 6: Stylish Accessories & Final Touches: When applicable, use decorative elements like colourful paint or wallpaper, adequate lighting, mirrors, and creative use of wasted space, such as adding an island or seating area for added functionality and style
