Getting Organized With A Laminate Closet System
“Homeowners often have misconceptions about creating custom closets.” Chad Holiday, Owner Holiday Custom Closets
The first misconception is that they are too expensive. The reality is any closet system you install has a cost associated with it, whether it’s a wire or laminate system. When upgrading to a laminate system, you are also upgrading your homes value. It will set you apart from the house next door when it comes time to sell your home.
The second thing many people don’t realize is that once you have the laminate system in place, it serves as a frame so a closet can be adjusted, or reconfigured to fit the needs of the user. A simple example is in a child’s room. Initially, you can have an area for triple hanging clothes because of the size of the clothing. As the child grows, and their clothes get bigger, the system can be adjusted to double hang to accommodate bigger clothing.
Saving Room & Time
Adding accessories can help your closet stay even more organized. According to Holiday, some of the most popular accessories are:
? Belt Racks
? Clothes Hampers
? Tie Racks
? Shoe Storage
? Valet Rods
? Ironing Boards
? Jewelry Inserts
? Mirrors
Value… Not Price
“When building a new home I’ve seen people put the bare minimum in their closets,” says Holiday. “Then they replace the closets a short time after they move in when they could have had everything they wanted for a few pennies each month by building the cost into the original mortgage.”
The Editor’s Bottom Line…
Closets systems are much like any home improvement. The reason you are “improving” the home is to make the home more livable, functional and enjoyable. Be sure to listen to all ideas and see accessories available when you choose a system. It is a better value selecting what you want now rather than having to improve your improvement later.
