Top 5 Reasons You Need a Custom Closet in Fort Lauderdale, FL

When it comes to home improvements, there are a lot of reasons that you might be on the fence. The same might be said for custom closets! You probably already know some of the benefits of having custom closets installed in your Fort Lauderdale home, but you still might be wavering. We’ve compiled a list of five reasons that you should consider getting custom closets. See if any of these situations ring familiar to you!

#1 You have a hard time getting your children out the door in the morning.

Are your mornings hectic and crazy? If you have young children (or not-so-young children), you might assume that chaos is par for the course. After all, in addition to getting yourself ready for work, you need to get the kids dressed, fed, and out the door on time to drop off everyone where they need to be. This is a huge task comprised of many parts, so it’s no wonder you struggle some mornings to leave the house in a calm, relaxed, and even happy mood.

Having all of your clothing and accessories organized, however, can make a world of difference. Not only will you be completely ready to go and dressed fully from head to toe but your children will be able to grab what they need in order to get themselves ready to the extent of their ability. For very little ones, you will be able to pull out a ready-made outfit without fights and without rummaging around for socks.

Custom closets allow you to do this because they have the organizers and accessories you need to store each type of item in your closet. From belt and tie racks and jewelry trays to shoe racks and even bins for hair accessories, we’ve got you covered. Just reach in, grab what you need, put it on, and you (and your children) are ready to go.

#2 You find yourself wearing the same handful of outfits all the time.

Have you ever looked in your overstuffed closet, decided you had nothing to wear, and settled for the same outfit that you wore a few days earlier? It is said that most people wear only 20 percent of their clothing. While there are various reasons for this, part of it might be that you are not able to easily access the items in your closet due to overcrowding and the lack of a good organization system.

With custom closets, you will have extra hanging rods so your items can breathe. You will be able to see everything you have, and from there, you can decide what you want to wear at any given time. Even your accessories (shoes, belts, jewelry, purses, scarves, and so on) will have a place where they will be easy to access yet out of the way. All of this can lead to you putting together some great outfits with pieces you forgot that you even owned!

#3 You have to replace clothing and shoes because they are damaged.

When you think about clothing and shoes getting damaged, you probably envision spilling something on a white shirt that doesn’t come out in the wash, snagging a sweater on a rough piece of fencing, or accidentally stepping in a muddy puddle with delicate shoes on. All of these are frustrating occurrences, but that’s not the type of damage that will be solved by having custom closets installed!

We are talking about the types of damage that occur due to improper storage. For example, if your shoes are tossed on the floor of the closet instead of contained neatly in a rack, you might step on them or they can become crushed underneath other items. If you’re hanging clothes on wire hangers because that’s all that will fit in your closet, you might notice pull marks or even holes in some of your more delicate tops. If your items are crushed together, you might have buttons popping off and snagging knits on another item’s zipper when you go to pull them out to wear them.

If you are replacing items before their time due to damage that they sustain while in your closet, now might be the right time to upgrade your storage situation with custom closets.

#4 You’ve got too many items and no place to store them.

Do you struggle with clutter? You’re not alone. As proof, Google “help with clutter” and look at all of the results that come up. Everyone from Marie Kondo to Marla Cilley (also known as the Flylady) has advice and products to share that will help you calm the clutter beast in your home.

The key to winning this war is to make sure that you have the correct type of storage space for each item in your home. Closet Decor & More can design and build you custom closets in every room of your home that will meet this need. Once that is taken care of, you’ll need to put your items away every time you’re done using them. You won’t need to worry about extra clutter again if you keep up with it!

#5 You are planning to put your house on the market in the near future.

Finally, if you are planning to sell your house in the near or distant future, custom closets make sense as a wise investment. This is true for a few reasons: You will be able to stash your extra stuff somewhere, your buyers will be interested in the extra storage space, and it lets buyers know that you have taken pride in your home to the point of having a luxurious closet system put in. You’ll benefit from the versatility and simplicity of having custom closets now, and then you’ll benefit again later when you sell your house more quickly or maybe even at a higher price thanks to those closets.
