Creating a Custom-Style Built-In Closet is Easier Than You Think!
In our line of work, we have seen some amazing closets! Sometimes it may seem out of reach, but creating a built-in style dream closet is actually much easier than you think. Whether you want to maximize efficiency, create more usable space, or finally build that display case for your shoes and handbags, we’re here to help you build exactly what you want!
There are many options when you decide to create or redo your closet. At Getting it Done Organizing, we specialize in Functional Space Planning for closets and all areas of the home, assisting with everything from remodeling to new build construction in Dallas, TX. We help you navigate the overwhelming number of choices, design the layout, manage the installation process, and, best of all, organize your clothes and accessories in a beautiful, sustainable way once the build is done. We walk with you from start to finish!
Whether you want to create your own design from scratch or go with a prefabricated custom closet from one of our partners like The Container Store or California Closets, we know the ins and outs and can help you “Get it Done!”
How It Works
First, set up a consultation with me to discuss what you want to achieve. My team and I will work with you and your contractor to create the best closet system for your specific design goals and budget. We help measure and plan your space, assist in ordering and scheduling the production, and installation when your space is ready.
Here is a breakdown of our favorite custom closet options:
Option 1: The Fully Custom Build
For a custom build, we completely tear out your current closet infrastructure, and have one of our contractors build a brand-new design from scratch. In a custom build you get to choose everything, from layout all the way down to wood choice and paint color.
While white is timeless, colors other than white have been trending lately. Blues are our personal favorites. A soft blue acts as a neutral, keeping the space from feeling too busy while making it feel more “alive” than standard white. Of course, we still love the crisp, clean look of white if that fits your style better, you really can’t go wrong!
Options 2: The Container Store Systems
If you prefer a specialized closet system, The Container Store has four distinct lines to choose from. As experts in these systems, we can help you choose the right one:
1. Classic Elfa: This is a flexible, wall-mounted system featuring an assortment of basic drawers, shelves, rods, and more. It’s perfect for adjustable storage that can change as your needs do.
2. Elfa Décor: Think of this as the “glam” version of the Classic Elfa. It offers the same functionality but adds custom trim details and elevated accessories for a more polished look.
3. Avera: Avera is a wall-mounted system that includes panels to hide the wall brackets. This finish makes it look like a true built-in closet without the high price tag of a full construction project.
4. Laren System: This is The Container Store’s premium, customizable floor-based system. It utilizes thicker materials and robust construction for a true luxury feel.
