The most upscale way to redo your closet is to invest in a system made up of closet cabinets. These are custom-installed systems, usually designed by an employee of the company making or selling the system.

Your closet will be measured by the designer or by a measuring specialist. Afterwards, they will go back to their office where they will start a closet design that will suit your needs.

You can expect a small fee for the designs themselves, but the final cost of the overall product usually covers the installation.

You’ll have dozens of options when it comes to closet cabinetry systems. But you’ll also have flat shelf space as well as hanging space for your long and short garments.

Shoe options include flat or tilted shelves, and sometimes special gliding racks. Hanging will be installed at the perfect height, and extra space will be utilized with shelving.

The final design will often incorporate drawers. You want a designer who will work with you and ask questions to learn what you need most from your closet space.

There is one drawback with all this: By installing closet cabinets, the little space will feel even smaller than usual. There are ways to work around this, such as installing extra lighting.

Sometimes, the closet designer will be able to include this, but other times, you will need to do it yourself or hire an electrician. Be sure to bring up any concerns about this with your closet designer.

There are plenty of different materials and finishes you can choose for your closet cabinets. Hardwood, melamine, white, walnut–you are certainly not limited in your options.

Don’t forget to buy new hangers to complement the brand new look of your closet. If you don’t, your snazzy closet system could look a little odd with those pastel hangers from high school.

Once you and your closet designer agree on a design, you can schedule the installation.

You should ask your designer if you should clean out your closet first, or if the cleaning is part of the installation process. Whatever the case may be, you’ll love the new closet cabinets.
