Designing a custom closet can feel like an overwhelming prospect, but if you work with the right designer it can be a seamless and simple experience. That is how we felt designing our closet with Closet Factory in Saint George, Utah. They operate in a bunch of different states, but Saint George is a brand new location, and we are so happy they happened to open here before we finished building our home.
Designing a custom closet can be a great way to optimize your storage space and create a more organized and functional living space. However, before you decide to design a custom closet, it’s important to understand the pros and cons.
Pros of building a custom closet:
Customization
One of the biggest advantages of designing a custom closet is the ability to tailor it to your specific needs and preferences. You can choose the materials, colors, and layout that best suit your style and storage requirements.
Space optimization
Custom closets are designed to make the most of your space, whether it’s a small walk-in closet or a larger space. With a custom closet, you can take advantage of every inch of space, from high ceilings to awkward angles, to create a more efficient storage solution.
Durability
Custom closets are typically made with high-quality materials that are built to last. This means you can enjoy your new closet for years to come without worrying about wear and tear.
Increased resale value
A custom closet can add value to your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you decide to sell in the future.
Cons of building a custom closet:
Cost
One of the biggest downsides of designing a custom closet is the cost. Custom closets can be quite expensive, especially if you choose high-end materials and finishes.
Time
Designing and building a custom closet can take a significant amount of time. From the initial design process to the installation and final touches, it can take weeks or even months to complete.
Limited options
While custom closets offer a lot of flexibility in terms of design and materials, there may be some limitations on what can be achieved, depending on your space and budget.
Professional installation required
Custom closets typically require professional installation, which can add to the cost and timeline of the project.
Designing a custom closet can be a great way to optimize your storage space and create a more organized and functional living space. However, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. The customization, durability, and resale value are great benefits, but the cost, time, and professional installation required can be downsides. It’s important to consider your budget, timeline, and storage needs before making a final decision. We absolutely loved building our custom closet with Closet Factory!
Ok question time, if you had to build one custom closet in your home, which closet would you do first?!?!
The only room in our home I enjoyed designing more than our custom closet, was our primary bathroom. We made it a wet room which is a trending bathroom design that often includes floor to ceiling tiles, and an open shower, with a free standing tub in the shower. Come check out how we designed our primary bath wet room here.
