Not enough space for skeletons in your closet? If your home is old and lacks storage (as most old homes do), adding a built-in closet will give you the storage space you need. Adding a closet is a good project for novice do-it-yourselfers: you’ll need basic tools including a level, drill, circular saw, miter bob, framing square, and hammer; as well as approximately 18 to 36 hours to invest in order to complete the project. Not only will having adequate closet space add value to your real estate investment, it will decrease your chances of tripping over unsightly junk that should be shored safely away in a closet!

If your closet space is plentiful, but cluttered and unorganized, consider adding a custom designed closet organizer. Well-designed and efficient closet storage offers order and organization. You can order pre-configured closet organizer kits that adjust to your wall size, or hire professional closet designers to design a custom organizer for you, replete with drawers, shelving, rods, hooks, and hanging racks. A seasoned custom closet designer can help you come up with a closet organization system that’s as attractive and elegant as it is functional and affordable.
