Closet organization is especially challenging if you’re always pressed for time. That’s why, for many homeowners with busy schedules, a closet specifically customized to meet their needs is worth the investment. In addition to doing your research on features that can help improve your closet’s functionality, it’d be a good idea to learn more about the common mistakes you should avoid when planning a custom closet.
These are the planning mistakes you should avoid:
Not Decluttering Your Closet
The first step in planning a custom closet is to figure out how much usable space you need. In addition to taking inventory of your belongings, interior remodelers recommend decluttering your closet to see how much usable space in your closet is occupied by unnecessary clutter. Remember: no matter how much space you add to your closet, it’ll eventually become cluttered if it keeps being filled with unnecessary belongings.
Placing Shoes on the Ground
Why install shoe organizers when you can simply place them on the ground? The problem with placing shoes on the ground is that they’re often pushed into the corners of the closet, making it hard to find them. Not to mention that in over 5 years, it’s estimated that the number of shoes you own will have grown by 25%.
Installing Shallow Shelves
You need to make sure your shelves have enough space. Otherwise, you might end up having to place folded clothes near the edges, which will make your closet look sloppy. For more tips on planning your custom closet, consult a professional home improvement contractor.
