Transform a Spare Room

We offer an array of desks that can be tailored to your exact specifications. Add customized wall shelving and cabinets, and you’ll have the ultimate workspace.

Make Your Guestroom Multipurpose

If you don’t have a spare room to convert into an office, you can give your guestroom a makeover and turn it into a multifunctional space. It’s a simple process when you have assistance from one of our design pros and replace your existing guestroom bed with one of our fabulous wall beds. Commonly referred to as Murphy beds, wall beds come in single, double, or queen sizes and can be paired with a desk, shelves, and cabinets to create a multipurpose office and guestroom. When you have overnight company, they’ll have a beautiful and comfortable place to sleep. The rest of the time, the bed will be folded into the wall, leaving you with a spacious home office.

Upgrade Your Kitchen

When you’d rather not reconfigure any of your bedrooms, you can create a fully functional office space in your kitchen. With a custom desk and shelving from Closets by Design, even a small nook or corner can be turned into a workstation that will serve all of your home office needs.

Do you feel overwhelmed or depressed when your house is messy and disorganized? If so, you’re not alone. According to mental health experts, clutter can lead to higher stress levels, relationship issues, trouble focusing, and a diminished quality of life. So, putting forth the effort to clear clutter from your home could help you become happier and healthier. On the other hand, decluttering can be a daunting task, and if it feels too overwhelming, you might put it off indefinitely. Never fear! We’ve put together a few simple ideas to help you take control of your physical and mental space.

Take Care of the Kitchen

It’s said that the kitchen is the heart of the home. If your kitchen is about to burst from all the stuff crammed in it, that’s not a good sign for your heart — literally. Clutter and disorganization can increase the production of the stress hormone cortisol, leading to chronic stress, so make sure your kitchen is as clutter-free as it can be.

Take a good look around the room. Are small appliances crowding the countertops? Maybe cereal boxes are piled on the table, or bags of onions and potatoes are stashed on top of the refrigerator. Find a place in your pantry or cabinets to store all of these things. If you need additional storage space, let the professionals at Closets by Design put together the perfect custom pantry for your needs. Our adjustable shelves allow you to store appliances and cereal boxes of varying sizes, and features like bins, pull-out shelves, dividers, and drawers provide ample space for other dry ingredients, canned goods or fresh produce. You’ll love the way your kitchen feels when you have an organized pantry and can clear the clutter from your countertops!

Clean Your Desk

Whether you’re working from home, studying for an exam, or simply paying monthly bills, it’s important to have a clean workspace. As reported by the Mayo Clinic, “a cluttered environment can make your brain less effective at processing information — and more prone to frustration.” Having an organized desk can help you work more efficiently.

Begin cleaning your desk by sorting through any piled-up mail or papers. Throw out junk mail immediately and make files for the paperwork you need to keep. Stash office supplies (like pens, paper clips, and scissors) in decorative cups or jars. When you’re ready to take your home office to the next level of productivity, check out the stylish offerings on the Closets by Design website. Our custom desks, combined with cabinets and shelving, will transform your existing workspace into the ultimate home office.

Organize Your Closet

Have you ever gotten into an argument with your partner or roommate because one person is messier than the other or someone’s stuff is taking up too much room? If so, you know that clutter can cause relationship issues, sometimes serious ones. Perhaps more than any other space, the bedroom closet is frequently at the center of the conflict. But you don’t have to let a little clutter spoil an otherwise good relationship.

Begin work on your closet by getting rid of clothing the two of you don’t wear on a regular basis. Throw away, donate, or sell any items that are worn out, don’t fit, or you no longer need. Store clothes that are out of season in plastic bins under the bed or in another room. Use all available space as you begin to put clothes back in the closet. Better still — consult with the experts from Closets by Design. We can maximize every inch of space in your closet by adding adjustable shelving, slanted shoe shelves, a sliding belt rack, cubbies, jewelry drawers, or other features required for your specific needs. Whether you have a walk-in or reach-in closet, we’ll help you utilize its full potential.

Ancient Greece

Chilon of Sparta was a poet and philosopher in the sixth century BC and is considered one of the seven sages of Greece. Many scholars believe that he coined the phrase “less is more” to represent the Spartan attitude toward life. Chilon’s view was that by saying less, a person gave more weight or emphasis to the few words spoken.

20th Century

Along with Frank Lloyd Wright and several others, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (commonly known as Mies) was one of the founders of modernist architecture. He was well known for repeating the expression “less is more,” and his application of the principle is obvious in the clarity and simplicity of his minimalist style. He loved free-flowing, multifunctional spaces that took advantage of their outdoor surroundings.

Modern Day

While Marie Kondo introduced a new generation to minimalism several years ago, the current stars of the movement are Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. Their 2021 documentary “The Minimalists: Less Is Now” was nominated for a Daytime Emmy and has been viewed by millions. In it, the two friends explore why people hold on to junk, explain how intentional living can transform lives, and suggest a 30-day declutter routine.

Creating a Less-Is-More Home

To create a minimalist home, you must be like Chilon and focus on the things that are important. For instance, if you’ve spent tons of time and money building your wardrobe, you don’t want to shove your favorite pieces into a closet crammed with items you never wear. After getting rid of the clothes and shoes you no longer want, you must decide how to arrange what’s left in a simple and efficient way. This is the perfect time to contact the organization experts at Closets by Design. Whether you have a walk-in or reach-in closet, our designers can make the most of your space by combining adjustable shelving, hanging bars, shoe racks, jewelry drawers, and more. Everything in your wardrobe will have a place, so you can easily locate and put away each item.

You might also choose to be like Mies and focus on creating a free-flowing multifunctional space by putting a wall bed in your guest room or home office. Closets by Design has a variety of wall beds in single, double, and queen sizes that can be paired with shelves, desks, cabinets, and more. Because the beds fold up into the wall when not in use, you can transform any room into a multipurpose space. Best of all, our products are fresh and modern with sleek lines and beautiful, functional design features.

Perhaps you’d prefer to emulate the Minimalists and begin living more intentionally by decluttering your kitchen and getting rid of all the junk and unused appliances that are taking up space. Again, Closets by Design can help you create a more pleasant kitchen environment with a custom pantry. With the right combination of drawers, shelving, cubbies, and other design elements, your pantry will provide easy access to the food and equipment you need to make preparing meals less stressful. Having an organized pantry also saves you time and money since you can quickly see which items you need. That way, you don’t run out of your favorite foods or buy duplicates.

If you’re ready to simplify your life, Closets by Design offers stylish organization systems that enable you to maximize your home storage without detracting from the beauty of your interior. Contact us today to set up your free consultation and let us help you discover why less is more.

Welcome Fresh Energy into Your Home

The underlying belief in Feng Shui is that chi, or energy, makes up and moves through everything. When energy gets blocked, it becomes stagnant and creates disharmony in the surrounding area. The front door is considered to be the entryway of chi or the place where energy enters your home. Naturally, you want energy to flow in effortlessly, so it’s important to keep the vicinity clean and clutter-free. Unfortunately, the area around the front door is often a dumping ground for shoes, umbrellas, coats, etc. To contain the clutter and create a tidier space, consider adding a coat closet to your front hall or foyer. All you need is a blank wall, a little bit of room, and help from the professionals at Closets by Design. They can design a coat storage space with hanging bars, shoe racks, and adjustable shelves . You can even incorporate cubbies or baskets for each family member’s belongings, so everyone can contribute to keeping your entryway tidy and the energy flowing.

Create Space

In Feng Shui, the reason for getting rid of clutter is to open up space for new things to come into your life. Every time you get rid of stuff you no longer use or need, you make room for something fresh to enter. Clutter also traps energy and causes it to become stagnant, so a bookcase stuffed with books and magazines you may never look at again is not only an eyesore, it can make the entire room feel messy and disorganized. If you need to rein in an overflowing media collection (whether it consists of books, vinyl, or those CDs you can’t bear to part with), start by editing out the items you don’t want. Then find an efficient and neat way to store what remains. Closets by Design’s custom media centers offer a great solution. With a combination of shelves, drawers, and cubbies, you can organize all your media and electronics while hiding unsightly cables and streaming boxes. Best of all, we offer a variety of styles so your new piece will complement your existing furniture.

Remove Obstacles in Your Path

Any physical thing that impedes your progress is an obstacle, and if it interrupts your progress, it’s also disrupting the flow of energy through your home. Take a good look around your house. Where do you consistently run into obstacles? Is it the bar stool that juts out a little too far? Think about replacing it with one that’s a better fit. Has the plant in the corner of your dining room started taking over the space? Don’t be afraid to give it a good pruning. Do you trip over shoes and piles of clothes every time you walk through your bedroom? It’s definitely time for a custom closet. No matter what size your closet is, the experts from Closets by Design will work with you to make the most of all the space you have. If your closet is small, we’ll maximize every inch by incorporating the design features that suit your particular needs. And if you have a walk-in, we can include drawers, a tilt-out hamper, a jewelry drawer, and more to keep your clothing and accessories organized and within easy reach. When you have a designated place for everything, you can quickly put away any clothing or shoes that might otherwise become obstacles on your path.

If you’re ready to tame the clutter and tackle garage organization once and for all, follow these simple suggestions.

Make a Plan

Before you start dragging stuff out of your garage, think about how you want it to look after it’s clean and organized. Do you have sports equipment that you’d like to access quickly? Would you like to incorporate a workbench or gardening table into your garage? Do you need cabinets for storing cleaning and automotive supplies? If you can’t quite visualize where everything should go, the experts at Closets by Design can help you come up with a plan to get your garage organization off to a proper start. We’ll send a professional designer to your home for a free consultation. After measuring your garage and assessing your storage needs, we’ll create a custom design specifically for you.

Sort Your Stuff

Once you have a plan, it’s time to empty the garage. Depending on how much stuff you’ve accumulated, you may need to set aside a full weekend to complete your garage organization project. Check your local weather forecast and make sure it’s not expected to rain. You’ll need to leave things in your driveway as you sort and organize.

Begin by creating four piles: Keep, sell or donate, recycle, and toss. Then start going through everything. Keep only the items you need and use regularly. If you haven’t used something in the last two years, chances are you won’t use it again. If it’s something that can be sold easily at a garage sale or an online marketplace, put it in the sell pile. Tools, planters, and outgrown bikes are only a few of the items that get snapped up quickly. If, however, you prefer not to hassle with selling your belongings, donate them to your favorite charity. Check with your local government to see where to dispose of hard-to-recycle items, such as old paint, batteries, and LED light bulbs. Throw out anything that’s broken, expired, or obsolete (like that box of cassette tapes in the back corner).

Focus on the Floor

With everything out of the garage, now’s the time to clean the room. Clear away any cobwebs, sweep or vacuum the floor, and scrub away any oil or chemical spots left by your car or lawn equipment. If you want to make your garage truly exceptional, consider adding DesignFloor™.  DesignFloor is a interlocking sturdy tile system offered by Closets by Design and comes in a wide array of colors and patterns that will make your garage the envy of anyone who sees it.  And the best thing about our garage flooring is you can walk and drive onto it right away, no waiting for paint to cure and harden.  Use it the day it gets installed.

Utilize Vertical Space

When you begin putting your items back in the garage, don’t pile everything on that beautiful new floor. Remember that you have an abundance of storage space available on the walls and even the ceiling. With a wall storage system from Closets by Design, you can mount skis, golf clubs, bicycles, and other sports equipment to give your garage organization a tidy touch. Wire shelf accessories and bins provide an ideal space for storing lawn care products. Hooks are perfect for keeping rakes, mops, and hoses out of the way but still within easy reach. If you want to keep some items behind closed doors, consider adding a custom garage cabinet or a built-in closet. With the right combination of cabinets, shelving, and wall accessories, you can turn your garage into a well-organized storage area, and bring that car back inside where it belongs

According to the UN’s environment program, each year, globally, more than 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted. In North America, a staggering 43% of that waste occurs in the home and costs us a lot of money. How much? The average family of four wastes $1,500 a year on uneaten food!

Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to save money on groceries and reduce food waste simply by how your store it.

Make a Grocery List

Have you ever popped into the grocery store to pick up one or two things and walked out with several bags of groceries full of impulse buys? Or have you ever bought a bag of rice or a dozen eggs only to get home and realize that you already had some? By spending a little time planning your trip to the store, you can save money on groceries and avoid buying items you don’t need.

• Check your pantry and refrigerator to see what you have and what you need. If something (such as fresh broccoli or a head of cabbage) needs to be used soon, plan a meal around it.
• When possible, plan your menu for the week and buy only the items you need for making those meals. Be sure to account for meals you plan to eat out at restaurants or someone else’s home.
• Remember that buying in bulk or taking advantage of buy-one-get-one sales may save you money, but only if you use the products you buy. If you’re buying multiples of things with a limited shelf life (like fresh produce and dairy products), consider whether you will use them all before they expire.
• Allow yourself to add only 3 items that are not on the list. Setting a limit to impulse purchases can really cut back on buying all the items that seem appealing when they are in front of you, especially if you bring your kids with you to the store. Get them involved in the rule of 3, so they don’t repeatedly bug you to buy everything they see.

Understand Date Labels on Food

Speaking of food expiration, did you know that date labels are not an indicator of a product’s safety, except on infant formula? In fact, dates aren’t required by federal law, and there are no universally accepted descriptions. So, while you may see “Sell By,” “Best By,” or “Use By,” the food should be safe, if handled properly, well beyond the date stamped on the package. Of course, if the product’s color or consistency has changed noticeably or if it has an unusual odor, you shouldn’t eat it. Most of the time, however, the date is merely the manufacturer’s way of letting retailers and consumers know when the food is at its freshest.

Reorganize Your Pantry to Save Money on Groceries

How many times have you reached for something like a can of diced tomatoes and realized that while you don’t have any tomatoes, you have four cans of black beans? If your pantry is cluttered with cans, boxes, and bags, it’s hard to know what you really have in there. On the other hand, a well-organized pantry allows you to easily see what you have and when you’re running low on things. Start reorganizing by pulling out everything. Throw away any items that are stale or spoiled. You may also find some items that have not been opened and you want to donate to a local food pantry.  Cleaning out items that you do not intend to use is a great way to eliminate the clutter.  If you find a lot of things you’d forgotten about pushed to the back of your pantry, then you should consider getting pull-out shelves. Pull-out shelves, like the ones in a Closet by Design custom pantry, let you access everything quickly and keep you from “losing” items in the recesses of deep cabinets.

Another easy way to keep track of what you have is to store dry goods, such as rice and cereal, in clear containers. The containers help the foods stay fresh longer, and they help you see when it’s time to buy more. In the same way, Lucite-fronted drawers are a great place to store granola bars and other wrapped snacks. If the food you buy is in plain sight, it’s more likely that you’ll eat it rather than let it go to waste, and it will also help you save money on groceries.

Let Closets by Design Help

A Closets by Design custom pantry allows you to organize your staples with ease and ultimately save money on broceries. With the right combination of shelving, drawers, bins, and dividers, you’ll have a place for everything. One of our design professionals will come to your home to assess your space and help you create a pantry that’s perfect for all your needs. Schedule a free in-home consultation today.

According to a study done in 2016 by Cornell University, the stress caused by clutter may trigger coping and avoidance strategies such as oversleeping, eating junk food, and binge-watching media. But getting rid of clutter and the stress it causes does not have to be difficult. As organizational expert Barbara Hemphill points out, “Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.” If you have decided it is time to clear out the clutter in your home, here are some decluttering tips to help you begin the process.

Decluttering Tips – Focus on One Area at a Time

The thought of decluttering and organizing an entire home can feel overwhelming. That is why our top decluttering tip starts in one area, even if it is just a junk drawer in the kitchen. After you have thrown away all the used twist ties and rubber bands, the broken can opener, and the pens with no ink, then you can start clearing out the kitchen in earnest. Old sponges and scratched or broken plastic containers harbor bacteria, so toss them out. Gather up all the plastic grocery bags that are lurking in cabinets and take them back to the store for recycling. If you have appliances, gadgets, or dishes that you no longer use, give them to a local thrift store or your favorite charity. Get rid of old condiments in the refrigerator and expired food in the pantry. Once you have cleaned out the things you no longer need or use, it is time to reorganize and find a place for everything that is left. To keep clutter under control for the long run, onsider adding a custom pantry system. Closets by Design can help you create the perfect pantry for your space, incorporating shelves, drawers, baskets, and other design elements that will make organizing your kitchen easy.

Use the OHIO Rule 

OHIO stands for “only handle it once.” Once you pick up an item, decide what to do with it right then, rather than shuffling it from one pile to another. This decluttering tip works particularly well where mail and paperwork are concerned. Toss junk mail and promotional items into the recycling bin or trash can as soon as you receive them. When possible, pay bills as soon as they arrive, rather than leaving them piled on a desk or countertop until the due date. If you are unable to pay them right away, have a system to put your bills in order by the due date so you know where they all are, and they are easy to find. For paperwork that you need to keep (such as receipts for work or taxes), create file folders, and use them. If you don’t already have a home office or if your current one isn’t working well, it may be time for an upgrade. Closets by Design offers custom desks designed with efficiency and taste in mind, and the desks can be combined with wall shelving and cabinets to create the ultimate home office. Once you have a place to organize all the paperwork that flows into your home, it is much simpler to follow the OHIO Rule.

Decluttering Tips – Out With the Old 

While this decluttering tip can be applied to everything from outdated electronics to toys, it is especially applicable to shoes and clothing. Most of us have clothes in our closets that we never wear because they don’t fit, they’re damaged, or we simply don’t like or need them. If you have items in your wardrobe that you have not worn in the last year, it is time to get rid of them. You will be amazed at the space you free up, and you can then begin to organize the clothes you regularly wear. Not ready to donate these items? Put them in a box with the date on it. If, after six months, you have not been tempted to get something out of the box, you can feel confident you will not miss it when it is permanently gone. Another great way to manage the clutter in your closet is to have a dedicated space for everything in it. Closets by Design can customize your walk-in closet with adjustable shelves, cubbies, tie or jewelry drawers, and more. If you don’t have a walk-in, don’t worry — even a small closet can be carefully organized and customized with hanging bars, shoe racks, and adjustable shelving.

Utilize Your Garage

Once you have gotten rid of things that you no longer need or want, move on to the next decluttering tips: designate places for frequently used items (such as your yoga mat or chargers for electronic devices). Store any overflow items (like camping gear or beach toys) in see-through bins in your garage. To make the most of the storage space in your garage, let Closets by Design create a unique garage organizer to meet your specific needs. It is much easier to store your belongings with our combination of cabinets, shelving, countertops, and more.

Start With an Unpacking Plan

Hopefully, when you (or your movers) packed up your old house, you packed items by room and labeled all your boxes accordingly. This will make unpacking after a move much easier. Whenever possible, place boxes in the rooms where they should be unpacked. Resist the urge to start unpacking random boxes, or you’ll end up with odds and ends spread all over the house. Plan to unpack room by room, beginning with the most important rooms first like the kitchen and your bedroom/bathroom. Before you take out a single item, it’s good to have a general idea of where you want to start and having the boxes in the right place to unpack will help the process move along more quickly.

Begin Unpacking After a Move in the Kitchen

Unless you plan on eating out every meal, it’s important to get your kitchen basics set up and functional right away. Plug in any essential small appliances, like the coffee maker and toaster. If you want to put shelf liner in your cabinets, now is the time — before you unpack. Take a few minutes to think about how you’ll be moving around this new kitchen and figure out what the most logical place is for your pots and pans, dishes, glasses, etc. Where will your dry and canned goods go? If your new home doesn’t have adequate storage space, this is the perfect time to have a custom pantry installed. A well-organized pantry lets you easily see what you have and what you need, which, in turn, makes both grocery shopping and mealtime less stressful.

Move On to the Bedrooms

More than likely you’re going to be ready for a good night’s sleep unpacking after a move, so start by assembling and making up your bed. Decide where you want other bedroom furniture to go before you start unpacking any boxes. This is also the time to determine how you want to arrange your closet. It’s much easier to install a closet organization system before you begin piling clothes and shoes in there. Whether you have a walk-in or a reach-in closet, the perfect configuration of shelving, shoe racks, and hanging bars can make organizing your clothes so much easier.

Set Up Your Home Office

If you’re one of the many people working from home these days, you’ll need to get your office operational as soon as possible. A new home provides a blank slate for you to create an ideal space that can make your workday less chaotic. With a custom desk, cabinets, and wall shelving, your home office will be comfortable and organized.

Save the Garage for Last

Since most of the stuff we store in the garage isn’t essential, it’s best to get the rest of the house unpacked first. Plus, there’s a good chance that as you unpack in other rooms, you’ll find more things you want to put in the garage. Of course, you’ll want to unpack your toolbox, so it’s handy when you’re ready to hang pictures or install a shower rod, but otherwise, the garage can wait. However, when it’s finally time to start unpacking after a move and organize in the garage, be sure you make the most of the space by installing garage cabinets and a wall organizing system. These added features can help you get rid of clutter and make it easier to find the things you’re looking for when you need them.

Adding extra closet space to your home doesn’t have to involve framing out walls and putting up drywall. Closets by Design can help you create a closet without all the fuss and even make it seem like the storage unit was part of the existing space from the start.

Determine Your Closet Space Needs

What do you need to store? Sometimes it’s best to collect all the items you need to store ‘somewhere’ and then design a space around that. Do you need more hanging room for clothing, shelves for extra linens and towels, or drawers and baskets for keepsakes? This is when bringing in a professional may help you come up with the right plan for organizing your stuff.  Closets by Design will send a design specialist to your home for a free consultation. Based on your exact storage needs, we’ll create a perfect closet space specifically for you.  You can also gain additional storage ideas by exploring this website. You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, where we often post photos of our customers’ projects.

Find a Space

All you need is a blank wall or empty space to get started. Is there an empty corner in your laundry room, an odd nook somewhere, or a place under your staircase? All are great possibilities to create additional storage. If you’re still piling multiple jackets, scarves, and gloves on an old hat rack, look around your foyer– if there’s a blank space on a wall, that could be the new closet space. For a larger closet, consider converting a spare room in your home (an unused office or playroom, for instance) into a grand walk-in closet.

Choose Your Closet Space Style

Once you’ve decided where you want a closet and what functional elements that closet will have, it’s time to decide what style you want. Do you like a design that’s modern and bold with sleek corners and clean edges, or do you prefer a more sophisticated look with darker wood and glass doors? Maybe you want a closet space that’s primarily functional but with a stylish twist. There are so many options to choose from. When you work with a Closets by Design consultant, you can pick the features that will suit your needs and your sense of style all while complimenting your storage design.
