Closet Organizing Decisions

It's to your advantage to design your own customized closet organization system and it can be done in many ways. You may buy separate closet organization products to create your own design. This can be tricky when trying to get everything to fit together properly. If you opt for this option, try to choose closet organization products that are all made by the same manufacturer. Be sure to measure your closet space at least twice to make sure all of your components fit together properly.

A better way to get your closet organized the way you want is to design your own closet organization kit. This is similar to purchasing each piece separately, but it can be a lot easier. It involves working with a manufacturer like ClosetMaid, who offers design for your own custom closet organizer kits and works in one of two ways:

1. You email the manufacturer the layout you want for the size of closet your are organizing.

2. You email them with the dimensions and a some photos of your closet. They design some good layouts for you based on the information you provide. You then select the design that is best for you, the kit is manufactured and shipped to you for installation.

Proper installation of a closet organization system is important. Work with a manufacturer that provides step-by-step instructions and pictures if needed. The more pre assembled the closet organization kit is, the easier it will be to install. Before starting your project, consider your comfort level when working with tools and following directions; you don't want to pay for new components that you broke when installing your kit. If don't feel comfortable installing your custom closet organization kit, consider calling a friend, family member or professional.

If you want the closet organization process to be as easy as possible, then consider hiring a consultant to do it all for you. Keep in mind this is the most expensive of all your options, but it may be worth it when it comes to saving you time and headaches. Your consultant can come to your home and discuss all of the details including what you want to accomplish with your closet organization makeover. They will then design several different options for layouts and materials.

Once you decide on the layout and materials that are right for your custom closet organization system, it will be professionally installed for you. Then all you have to do is move into your new closet without any headaches.
