Custom Closets to Increase Home Storage

Are you feeling cramped and cluttered in your own home, constantly tripping over things or digging through piles of clothes? Home remodeling with custom closets can help solve your storage woes.

At LaBonte Construction, we’ve helped families enjoy the transformative power of custom closets. You can maximize your space, reduce clutter, and make your home feel more organized and comfortable. In this guide, we’ll show you where custom closets can make a big impact. And how we can help you design and install them.

Custom Closets: Bedroom

How you wake up sets the tone for your whole day. And a well-organized bedroom can help you get a great start. Unfortunately, bedrooms can be a magnet for clutter, particularly when it comes to shoes, clothing, and accessories.

One of our home remodeling clients, a couple with a small bedroom, had a closet that was overflowing. And they were constantly digging through piles of clothes to find what they needed. That’s when they decided to invest in a custom closet.

The benefits were immediate and impressive. With shelves and racks designed specifically for clothing and accessories, they could easily organize everything and keep the bedroom clutter-free. Plus, there was even extra space for a reading nook!

If you’re considering a custom closet for your bedroom, here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Assess your storage needs: Take stock of what you have and what you need to store. Do you have a lot of shoes? Dresses? Sweaters? This will help determine what type of storage options you need.
  • Think vertical: Utilize the full height of your closet space with shelves, racks, and hanging rods.
  • Customize to your preferences: Do you prefer drawers or shelves? Open or closed storage? Customize your closet to fit your specific preferences and needs.

With a custom closet in your bedroom, you’ll be able to start and end each day in an organized and stress-free environment.
