Can you design a wardrobe closet for small or awkward spaces?

Yes, angled ceilings, narrow reach-in closets, and randomly placed studs are exactly what a free in-home design consultation is for. One of our local designers will work with the shape of your closet and wardrobe, rather than forcing a generic layout that leaves you with wasted storage space.

Can pull-out shelves work in a small closet?

Yes, Pull-Out shelves are especially useful in small wardrobe closets, since they bring items stored toward the back within reach without needing extra floor space to open or dig around. When you have limited closet space, it’s also difficult to renovate and expand it, but our custom solutions can give you up to 50% more storage space.

How much does a custom wardrobe closet cost?

The cost of solutions for custom closets and wardrobes depends on how many components you choose, like hanging rods, shelving, drawers, and shoe storage, and the finish and package. We recommend scheduling a free in-home consultation for the fastest way to get an accurate quote. We’ll be able to assess your space and create a 3D rendering of what your new storage will look like, so we’ll know exactly what you need and can provide you with a personalized cost estimate.

Types of Wardrobe Closets We Recommend for Clothing Organization

A wardrobe closet works when it’s built around your actual clothes, not a showroom display. Regardless of what clothes you need to organize and store, the fix is the same: a layout built around what you actually own. Here are the three most common solutions we install in wardrobe closets in Chicago West. We can mix and match these to suit your space so you’re happy with the overall organization.

Shoe Shelving

Custom shoe shelving keeps every pair visible and off the floor, with tiered shelving for every shoe.
Hanging Rods

We design double and staggered hanging rods around your clothes, so nothing gets crushed, wrinkled, or dragged on the floor.
Open Shelving and Drawers

Open shelving and built-in drawers give folded sweaters and jeans a defined spot so it doesn’t end up on the floor.

Benefits of Wardrobe Closets

Solutions for a custom closet and wardrobe are designed to use every inch of space you already have, including the corners and gaps a single rod and shelf always seem to waste. Instead of tearing down your closet, our solutions give you up to 50% more usable storage with better shelving alone.
Every wardrobe closet solution is custom-made from solid wood, like Birch or Maple. We don’t use particleboard that sags under a season’s worth of sweaters. It’s built to withstand daily use, not just moving-day enthusiasm.
With our shelves for wardrobe closets, everything will have a designated spot that’s easily reachable, from folded layers to hanging suits to shoes lined up by the door. Getting dressed stops being a search and becomes an easy decision.
Shelving for a wardrobe closet built around clothes you actually own will feel less like storage and more like a small dressing room, right in the heart of Elmhurst or Schaumburg. See how other Chicago West residents have felt with their new shelving.

Wardrobe Closet Storage Solutions in West Chicago FAQs

How is custom closet storage different from store-bought organizers?

Store-bought organizers come in one size and may or may not fit your closet. Even if it does fit, it doesn’t guarantee that it’ll be the best use of your space. Solutions for custom wardrobe closets in Chicago West ensure your closet is built to your exact dimensions, so nothing gets forced into a gap it doesn’t actually fit.
