Custom Closet Design Ideas & Trends

2020 has meant significant changes for almost everyone around the world. More people are working at home, choosing to stay in rather than go out, and noticing substantial differences that need to happen around the house. One of those changes is probably a custom closet or two, and we’re happy to show you the new trends coming up…

Warmer Closet Colors

Plain white walls for your closet are no longer en vogue. Instead, warm colors and vibrant textures are making closet spaces come alive.  Warm neutrals such as terracotta and olive green are expected to remain widespread, with vibrant colors such as blue and yellow becoming more widely used.

Closet colors famous for color therapy have also become trendy, as busy families seek to relax or improve their well-being by using colors that promote relaxation, focus, or happiness. You can expect adding natural textures such as leather and wood to become more popular as people seek a more natural environment in their homes. Layered rugs in different textures are also popular, adding a splash of color and texture to the flooring.

Cool Lighting

Warm yellow bulbs are being swapped out for cool LED lights for 2022. Whenever possible, natural lighting through windows has also become a desirable form of lighting for walk-in closet spaces. Gallery lighting is another popular option to brighten up the interior of your closet. No one likes feeling around a dark closet hoping to find what they need, so lighting should be a significant focus if it isn’t already well lit.

Open-Faced Custom Closets Are In!

Another significant change in 2022 is the doors on closet space. They are removing the shelving to the eye, making it easier to see what you need. Taking custom closet doors off is especially helpful in 2022, as cabinets are becoming used for school and work storage and normal household functions. Open-faced custom closets can make organization beautiful, blending form and function for a beautiful new look.

Dynamic Storage and Built-ins Save Space

Because we are staying home more often, it’s essential to make sure we make the most of closet space while making it easy to use and accessible. Dynamic storage is undoubtedly trending as more people look for ways to make their closets beautiful and easy to use.

Furniture and accessories can make a closet attractive and much easier to use. Creative designs and high-quality custom closets are currently favored over cheap factory designs as more consumers become aware of sustainability issues with mass-produced items. Many purchase one or two well-made pieces for their wardrobe rather than hoping fast fashion style shelving will last through the new year.

As 2022 comes to a close, many people look forward to a brand new year and custom closet. Updating the wardrobe brings not only a fresh new look but is also a great way to grow and adapt to the changes 2021 brought us. These popular trends are a great way to start if you know your closet needs an update.

Organizing Your Pantry for Thanksgiving

Although it may seem like a distant problem, Thanksgiving is less than 1 week away! Especially if you plan on entertaining your close family or friends, advanced preparation for this event is crucial to its success.

Oftentimes, people have the necessary equipment and resources they need to have a great Thanksgiving: the issue is, they are often confused as to how to practically utilize it. Pulling out countless boxes from your pantry or closet or frantically searching the house for cooking utensils or food you want to use/prepare is tiresome and can easily be avoided! In this article, we will tell you 5 effortless ways you can organize your kitchen to have a stress-free, preparable Thanksgiving.

  1. Buy Boxes, Totes, and Wire Baskets!

Purchasing boxes, totes, and organizers is obviously crucial to organization. Color coding these items or purchasing similar items through a set will help you even more. Try to use easy to see-through boxes or tubs, and clearly label each box with its content. Bubble wraps or bags within these boxes can help protect expensive china or cutlery you wish to use for your Thanksgiving meal. These organizers may help later on after your Thanksgiving meal with the organizing of leftovers as well. You can also get a little more specific, such as the inclusion of a spice organizer, which would work great with a lazy susan. Pull-out trays and wire baskets can also serve a very useful function.

These products give you a specific spot to leave your stuff in an organized fashion. It’s all about what is convenient for you, and what works for your pantry space!

  1. Pantry Organization

A well-organized, cleaned pantry is fundamental to any successful Thanksgiving meal. Go to your pantry and re-order everything, either categorically, alphabetically, or in some other logical fashion. A pocket organizer is a fantastic method to help you do this. You can even redistribute some of your counter clutter into your pantry. Organizing your pantry will make it much easier to find foods in preparation to cook and save you time in the process.

A great way to do this is through a spice organizer, which tends to have a great aesthetic-appeal and is very practical! Try a minimalistic metal one or a wooden one for an easy way to store all your spices.

Ideally, you want the pantry area to be simple, easy-to-access, and stylish. The more functional, the better off you will be!

  1. Purchase in Bulk

Thanksgiving meals can be expensive: this is understandable, given the often-various layers of preparation that go into planning a Thanksgiving meal for family and friends. Purchasing pantry items in bulk, such as food or cooking utensils/cutlery/serving bowls and plates, will save you both money and the headache of having to purchase items at the last minute. This will keep your pantry well-stocked and you Wholesalers such as Costco or Sam’s Club are great for this. Make sure to only purchase what you plan on using, and only after taking an inventory of what you already have!

A great way to store your bulk is with a Lazy Susan. On here, you can load up big collections of seasonings, snacks, or anything else. It has a swivel motion that allows you to spin it and access its different sides. This is very resourceful for storing your food and will make the experience much easier.

  1. Make Your Game Plan Now!

Spend 20-30 minutes sitting in a non-distracting environment and plan out your Thanksgiving in advance! Using a notebook, calendar, and pen is a great way to do this. Start crafting your tentative menu, determine when you will go shopping and how much you will buy, and try to plan out preparation in the days leading up to your Thanksgiving meal. This will allow you to coordinate which pantry items to buy, how to store them, and where to display them. Try to stick to the basics in your meal preparation (such as turkey, stuffing, cranberry pie, or sweet potatoes), and then implement any creative ideas you think of! Good Luck, and Happy Thanksgiving!

How to Organize Your Halloween Decorations

Halloween is right around the corner, and this year we are going to help you organize your decorations to avoid turning your home into a scary mess!

If you love decorating your house for Halloween and have accumulated a lot of decorations over time, you might be familiar with the feeling that comes when it is time to unpack them. Fear! After all, it is topical.

While decorating the house is fun, pulling out boxes and looking for items around the house for hours because you cannot remember where you stored the spiders, or the bats can be quite frustrating! Especially if the kids are involved.

In this article, we will talk you through simple ways to organize your spooky decorations so you can finally enjoy the process!

Invest in Accessories

Accessories will help you organize your spooky decorations in an efficient and practical way. Purchasing matching deep or wire baskets is an excellent way to store your Halloween decorations while maximizing your space. Make sure you choose see-through options as it will allow you to quickly be able to identify what’s inside without having to pull out and open the boxes.

Jewelry trays or drawers are another great option as they will allow you to store your Halloween costume jewelry, quickly identify what you are after and conveniently access it in a matter of seconds.

If you are planning to store your decorations in one of your closets, you can use pull out closet shelving or closet drawer organizers to rearrange your decorations, so it’s easier to locate them.

Efficiently Organize Your Boxes

Nothing is worse than having to pull out heavy boxes from a top shelf and then rummage through it only to find out what you are looking for isn’t in this box or is broken! To prevent this from happening, you should follow these key tricks:

  • Use easy to see-through boxes or tubs: Using see-through boxes or tubs is the most efficient way to easily locate items and decorations, and it prevents you from having to shuffle boxes around. Opt for plastic boxes as they will help protect your decorations from humidity or bugs.
  • Use bags to store items inside the boxes: Storing your items into bags inside a box or tub provides protection and allows you to group items together.
  • Clearly label each bag with the contents: To make it easier to identify what is in each of the bags, make sure you label them.
  • Write a content list for each box: Although it might seem tedious at first, this will save you time and hassle when Halloween time comes.
  • Use bubble wrap or a padded spooky outfit to protect items: A lot of Halloween decorations are fragile as they involve ceramic, glass, or even electrical wiring. Therefore, make sure you carefully wrap them with a padded envelope, bubble wrap, or even padded fabric from Halloween outfits to protect them from being damaged.

 

Maximize Your Home Space

Once you have gone through the above, it is time to find storage.

Whether you have enough space to store everything in the same area or need to spread out your decorations, you can use any of your home or garage closets, pantry, laundry room, or turn any unused space into storage. Indeed, adding some shelving behind the door of your pantry, above your office desk, or even a closet system at the back of your laundry room could give you this extra space you need to store and organize your spooky decorations.

If you are big on seasonal holidays and decorations, investing in a custom or walk-in closet might also be a great option as they are usually big enough to allow you to store Halloween decorations neatly and comfortably.
