MY ADVICE:

• A well-designed closet is a blueprint for organization. You’re in your closet every day. Shouldn’t it be an area you love!?

• Hanging like items together makes for each access.

• If you haven’t worn an item in over 2 years, don’t be afraid to toss it! It leaves room for something new.

MY FAQ’s:

 “How do you first approach a space? In other words, what’s the first thing you think about when you first see a client’s closet space/storage problem?”

 “What is the biggest design obstacle you’ve overcome? i.e. awkwardly angled walls, electrical sockets in bizarre places, big collections in small spaces.”

My biggest obstacles have been older homes with very little storage space. Many times, we think outside the box and design wardrobe units in the bedrooms or even entertainment areas with secret storage.

 “Since collaboration is such an integral part of the design process, how do you like to engage or connect with clients in order to help them realize their vision for a space?”

I ask if they have a Pinterest or Houzz page, or even magazines they have taken ideas from. Together we will look through these ideas on my iPad and save pictures of closets you like and we’ll work to incorporate them into the design.

 “How are you inspired by a home’s existing décor? Is there anything specific that you look for during an in-home consultation?”

 “What are some ways a custom designed home office can improve productivity? In other words, how does the right type of home office help people do business?”

Working in the comfort of a client’s own home allows me to know their specific office needs, so when we design I can truly customize a unique office space just for them.

 “What are some modern organizational trends, or what’s a trend you’re looking for?”

As cities develop, condos and townhouses are becoming increasingly popular. This has lead to new design opportunities as people are downsizing from larger homes, and yet still need space to store all of their belongings.
