OUR PROCESS TO BRING YOU SUCCESS
CONSULTATION
Your needs take center stage. We begin by asking the right questions to gain a deeper understanding of your space. For residential clients, we ask you to come into our showroom, look around at our products, get to know more about the design possibilities, and then discuss your vision before we create a customized concept drawing.
For commercial & residential clients, we invite you to share your space plans and schedule a meeting, enabling us to comprehensively outline the project's scope.
DESIGN
Next, our skilled team crafts visual mockups, accompanied by an initial budget assessment to fit what you’re looking for. From here, we will make any necessary edits and start focusing on the details. Before beginning your project, the consultant you’re working with will complete a walk through and field measurement of your space as well as answer any additional questions.
DELIVERY & INSTALL
Lead times vary based on project size and material choices. We're proud to uphold a five to eight-week lead time, spanning from the deposit phase to the installation finale. To begin production, we request a minimum deposit of 50% or a purchase order. As installation day approaches, the remaining balance becomes due.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the must-have features for a well-organized closet?
By incorporating these must-have features into your closet design, you can create a well-organized space that maximizes storage efficiency and meets your specific needs and preferences.
- Ample Hanging Space: Ensure there is enough room for hanging clothes, including long garments like dresses and coats, as well as shorter items like shirts and blouses. Double hanging rods or adjustable rods can maximize vertical space.
- Shelving and Cubbies: Incorporate adjustable shelving and cubbies to accommodate folded clothing, accessories, shoes, and other items. Adjustable shelves allow for customization to fit assorted items and storage needs.
- Drawers or Storage Bins: Include drawers or storage bins for organizing smaller items such as socks, underwear, belts, and jewelry. Drawer dividers or organizers can help keep items separated and easily accessible.
- Shoe Storage: Allocate dedicated space for shoe storage, whether it's shelves, cubbies, or racks. Consider space-saving solutions like angled shelves or shoe racks that maximize vertical space.
- Accessory Storage: Include compartments or organizers for accessories such as handbags, scarves, hats, and ties. Hooks, racks, or hanging organizers can help keep accessories visible and within reach.
- Mirror: Install a mirror inside the closet door or on a wall to facilitate outfit selection and dressing. A full-length mirror is ideal for checking your appearance from head to toe.
- Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting inside the closet to improve visibility and make it easier to see clothing and accessories. Options include overhead lighting, LED strip lights, or motion-sensor lights.
- Hooks and Hanging Storage: Incorporate hooks or hanging storage solutions for items like robes, bags, belts, and jewelry. Utilizing vertical space with hooks or hanging organizers can free up shelf and drawer space.
- Fold-Down Ironing Board: Consider installing a fold-down ironing board inside the closet for convenient touch-ups and garment care. It saves space and keeps the ironing board out of sight when not in use.
- Pull-Out Features: Utilize pull-out features such as valet rods, tie racks, or pull-out mirrors to add functionality and convenience to the closet space. These features maximize accessibility and make it easier to organize and retrieve items.
Should I invest in a custom closet system or opt for pre-made solutions?
Whether to invest in a custom closet system or opt for pre-made solutions depends on various factors, including your budget, space requirements, personal preferences, and the level of customization you desire. Here are some considerations to help you make the decision:
- Budget: Custom closet systems tend to be more expensive than pre-made solutions. If you have a limited budget, pre-made options may be more cost-effective. However, keep in mind that customizing pre-made systems with additional accessories or features can increase the overall cost.
- Space and Layout: Custom closet systems are tailored to fit your specific space and layout, making them ideal for closets with irregular dimensions or unique configurations. If you have a standard-sized closet and don't require extensive customization, a pre-made solution may suffice.
- Level of Customization: Custom closet systems offer a high level of customization, allowing you to choose features such as shelving arrangements, drawer configurations, hanging options, and accessories tailored to your needs. If you have specific storage requirements or preferences, a custom solution may be the best choice.
- Quality and Durability: Custom closet systems are often made from high-quality materials and built to last. While some pre-made solutions also offer good quality, others may be constructed from cheaper materials that are less durable. Consider the longevity and durability of the product when making your decision.
- Installation: Custom closet systems typically require professional installation, which can add to the overall cost. Pre-made solutions may be easier to install yourself or come with installation services included in the purchase price. Consider your DIY skills and the complexity of the installation process.
- Resale Value: A well-designed custom closet can add value to your home and may be a selling point if you plan to put your house on the market in the future. However, if you're not planning to stay in your current home long-term, investing in a custom closet system may not be as beneficial.
How do I ensure adequate lighting in my closet?
- Consider Natural Light: If possible, maximize natural light in your closet by positioning the closet near a window or installing a skylight. Natural light can enhance visibility and make it easier to see clothing and accessories.
- Install Overhead Lighting: Incorporate overhead lighting fixtures such as recessed lights, flush-mounted ceiling lights, or track lighting. These fixtures provide general illumination and evenly distribute light throughout the closet space.
- Add Task Lighting: Supplement overhead lighting with task lighting fixtures focused on specific areas where additional illumination is needed, such as shelves, drawers, or dressing areas. Options include under-cabinet lights, LED strip lights, or wall-mounted sconces.
- Choose LED Lighting: Opt for LED lighting fixtures for energy efficiency, longevity, and bright, uniform illumination. LED lights produce minimal heat and come in various color temperatures to suit your preference.
- Use Motion-Sensor Lights: Consider installing motion-sensor lights inside the closet that automatically turn on when you enter and off when you leave. This hands-free feature is convenient and helps conserve energy.
- Install Dimmer Switches: Incorporate dimmer switches for adjustable lighting levels, allowing you to customize the brightness according to your needs and preferences. Dimmer switches provide flexibility for tasks like selecting outfits or creating ambiance.
- Position Lights Strategically: Place lighting fixtures strategically to minimize shadows and ensure even illumination across the entire closet space. Consider the layout of shelves, hanging rods, and storage compartments when determining the placement of lights.
- Use Mirrors to Reflect Light: Install mirrors inside the closet to help reflect light and create the illusion of a brighter, more spacious environment. Mirrored closet doors or mirrored panels can also enhance visibility and make the space feel larger.
What are some budget-friendly closet design options?
At Minnesota Office Furniture we have a “Good,” “Better,” and “Best” scenario so everyone can have a fabulous closet. One cost savings advantage between “Good” and “Best” omits the back panel (so you see the wall) versus looking at the back of a cabinet. By using less material, you can save on an overall investment.
