A Perfect Fit: Perfectly Organized

Custom Closet for a Long and Narrow Space

Closets come in all sizes and shapes. When working with a long and narrow closet or any non-standard shaped space, it's best to get creative and try different storage techniques in order to maximize storage and create order. A drawer and shelf unit greets the owner opposite the closet door and entrance. Incorporating drawers into a closet system is great for storing small items like lingerie. The shelves can hold personal mementos, baskets or folded clothing. This custom closet also incorporates shelving for shoes along one wall of the deep narrow part of the closet. This shoe shelving doesn't take up a lot of depth — there is ample room for hanging on the opposite wall keeping sufficient space for a center aisle and access to to far end of the closet.

Luxurious Wardrobe

Fit for a Queen

This expansive and luxurious wardrobe was built as an extension for a couple to share closet space in a compact condominium bedroom. The bedroom wardrobe closet design was carefully constructed around a jog in the wall and gracefully makes use of the entire wall in their bedroom. With features such as custom lengthed hanging sections, mirrored door inserts, slide-out shoe shelves, and overhead storage space, this unit is fit for a queen-sized wardrobe.

Spare Room Converts to Dream Closet

Small Space Yields Grand Results

Spare rooms offer endless possibilities — offices, art studios, play rooms, and for the fashionista — a luxury walk in closet. It made perfect sense to transform this corridor off the master bedroom into a clothing hub as the home already provided a guest room, had no requisites for a nursery, and was in need of a space that could welcome an ever-increasing wardrobe. Not only does this space provide practical measures for organization, it is a marvelous display of lights and glass — a sanctuary, even.

Organizational Bliss: Walk-In Closet

Custom Closet with More Drawers Than a Standard Dresser

This custom closet has so many drawers, shelves and hanging rods that no other furniture is needed to handle the storage and organizational needs of this couple's wardrobe. As an added bonus, when the bedroom only needs to contain a bed, you can have a much bigger bed without making the room feel too crowded. A larger bed can also sometimes lead to a better night's sleep by giving the occupants more room and less chance of waking up from a partner's tossing or turning. When you need a good night's sleep, call Closet Works!

Custom Hutch for Closet

A closet hutch is a fantastic addition to a walk-in closet and will go a long way to keeping you organized!

It is perfect for both reach-in closets and narrower walk-in closets. The bonus to having a closet hutch rather than an island is the upper cabinets — additional storage is always welcome in a closet organization system.
