Custom Cabinetry / Closets

Closet Systems

A closet built around what you actually own — not a generic ratio of rods and shelves.

Designed Around You

Cabinetry Designed Around How You Dress

Off-the-shelf closet systems assume a fixed ratio of hanging space, shelving, and drawers. We start with the opposite question: what do you actually own, and how much of it hangs versus folds versus needs dedicated storage like shoes or bags.

Those answers shape the closet layout — not a generic template applied to every space regardless of what's going in it.

Before the Layout Locks In

What to Think About Before the Layout Locks In

A few decisions are much easier to make before the closet system goes in than to change after.

Hanging vs. Folded RatioHow much of your wardrobe hangs versus folds determines the mix of hanging rods, shelving, and drawers.

Vertical SpaceCeiling height determines whether upper storage is easy to reach daily or better reserved for occasional items.

Natural LightWindow and door placement shapes where cabinetry can run and where a dressing area makes the most sense.

Accessory StorageShoes, bags, and jewelry each work better with a dedicated storage type rather than sharing generic shelving.

Entry & ClearanceDoor swing and walkway width need to be planned so drawers and doors can open fully without collision.

Two-Person ClosetsShared closets work best when each person has a clearly divided zone rather than one mixed system.

Function First

Storage That Actually Gets Used

The closets that stay organized are built around real habits — adjustable shelving that can change as your wardrobe does, drawer inserts sized for what you're storing instead of generic dividers, and dedicated shoe and accessory storage instead of a shared shelf.

Materials

Materials That Suit the Closet

Closet drawer fronts and shelving see constant daily handling, so we steer clients toward finishes that hold up to that use while keeping the overall look consistent with the rest of the home. See species and finish options on Design & Selections.

Common Questions

Closet System Questions

Can you convert a reach-in closet to a walk-in?

Sometimes, depending on the surrounding wall structure and adjacent rooms. We'll assess what's possible during your consultation and design around what the space allows.

Do you build closet islands?

Yes, in closets with enough floor space an island can add drawer storage and a place to fold or lay out clothing.

What lighting options are there for closets?

We coordinate lighting layout as part of the design, including options like interior cabinet lighting, so it's planned alongside the cabinetry rather than added after.

How do you divide a closet for two people?

We design each side around that person's specific wardrobe and habits rather than splitting the space evenly by default, so the ratio of hanging, shelving, and drawers can differ side to side.
