Modern Trends: Sleek and Smart Custom Closet Systems

Fusion of Style and Function

If your closet is just a storage space, it might be time to ramp it up. Many of the homeowners I work with are looking for a blend of style and functionality. They want visually appealing storage solutions that blend in with or complement the way the rest of the room looks.

I like to show my clients various finishes, hardware, and door and drawer styles that can accentuate what they find visually appealing. I want you to be happy every time you open your closet door, and creating attractive spaces is one way to do that.

As far as functionality goes, I love to maximize the space available by putting in tall shelving units that provide tons of space for folded items. Pull-out racks allow you to store items without having them taking up room that you could use for something you need close at hand. The goal is to make everything as well-organized as possible.

Minimalism

You’ve undoubtedly heard about minimalism. Clean lines and uncluttered spaces are really the heart of the movement, and modern custom closets feature those sleek, straight lines. You might enjoy displaying your collections, but doing so in a streamlined way is becoming more and more popular as people embrace the idea of not having quite so much “stuff.”

Choosing a neutral color for the closet is one way to create a sense of calm and simplicity. You might also choose to limit your wardrobe to a handful of colors. This is especially useful if you subscribe to the theory of having a capsule wardrobe for each season. Harper’s Bazaar explains the concept more thoroughly, but the idea is to have only a few basic pieces that you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

Smart Storage Solutions

Many of my clients have various smart appliances and devices. If you’ve ever asked Siri or Alexa a question, you’re using smart technology. You have the option to add it to your own closet – making storage that much easier.

Some smart products to consider include:

• Automated lighting: Turn on your closet light when you wake up, so you get into the habit of going straight into the closet to grab your clothing and accessories right away. You can also schedule more lighting for the early morning and evening hours, when it might be a bit harder to see into the dark corners.
• Motorized shelving: If you have items stored up over your head, you could opt to put them on motorized racks, so you can reach them more easily when you need them. This eliminates the need for a step stool or ladder in the closet.
• Climate control: While you may already have climate control in your house, some people find that having a humidity-controlled closet can keep their delicate fabrics looking newer longer.
• Security control: Do you store valuables in your closet? Whether you have a locking jewelry drawer that you can unlock with your voice or a biometric home safe that allows you to access the contents with your fingerprint, the power of smart technology can keep your belongings more secure.

Conclusion

People often want their homes to reflect their sense of style and to be sleek and streamlined; there’s no reason the closet shouldn’t also have these characteristics. I enjoy working with homeowners who look for ways to incorporate the latest technology and trends into their everyday living. My design team would love to work with you to create the custom closet system of your dreams. Get in touch today to schedule a free consultation.
