MY ADVICE:

When you are considering whether or not a new closet will make a difference to your space there are a couple things to consider.

• Think of your room as if it were empty, it may look like every inch is currently taken up.
• With a designer’s fresh eyes, we can take all of the pieces in your closet and reorganize them by designing a better layout that maximizes your space.
• Once the room is reconfigured and all of your needs are accounted for you will have more space to add extra embellishments.
• If you are having a hard time with color, take a look at the existing cabinetry in your kitchen or bathroom. Matching the colors to what you already have will make your new design look like it was originally built with the home.

These are some of the hurdles a designer like myself and can help you with!

“Rachael helped us design our laundry room, master closet, guest closet and garage storage in our new build.  She was able to maximize the space and give us so much more storage.  She was amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend her for any design dilemma you have.”

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.”

One of my past clients thought for sure that they were stuck with the current closet system that they had. Before meeting these clients another closet company came into their home to give a design and quote and the other designer had told the clients that there was no way to gain more space in their closet. So they didn’t give up hope and called Closet Factory for a second opinion. The previous company had missed the opportunity to add a small shoe shelving section behind the door and make the entire closet system taller. It was hard for the clients to visualize the added space but by the time I walked them through the CAD 3D designs it made perfect sense. Once they moved all of their clothes back into the new closet she called me right away to tell me she could not believe all of the extra space they gained and said she was going shoe shopping for more!

 “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?”

Since what we do at Closet Factory is very custom there are unlimited ways to design a closet but one appropriate way to design YOUR closet. That is why we will ask you specific questions on your vision of the room, your wants vs needs, how you like to use the space, what is not currently working for you, and most importantly what you have set aside to spend on the project. Together we will come up with the best design for you.

 “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?”

More and more people these days are working from home either part or full time. If you fall into this category then your home office is very important to you. I know because my job allows me the opportunity to work form home half of the time. There are many reasons on how a newly designed home office can help improve your productivity. For example, I always look to see if there is a window or nice large opening for you to face in the room, being stuffed against a wall isn’t ideal. You may also have a stack of files piling up on your desk , I will make sure to ask detailed questions like “How many file cabinets you would like?” That way you can be organized and will be able to locate every piece of paper the next time you need it.

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

Lets say you are looking for a new closet or office but you are tired of the “old cabinetry look”. The trends have changed and the new style today is simple, clean, and modern. With endless materials at our fingertips at Closet Factory we can twist a standard raised  wood grain cabinet into an oblong shaped high gloss modern piece of art that will still function as a cabinet. If you have an idea of what you are looking for or if you’ve seen some inspiring floating shelves on Pinterest 9 times out of 10 we can accomplish your vision.
