A Step-by-Step Guide to Custom Closet Installation

If you're reading this, chances are you're dreaming of transforming your cluttered closet into a beautifully organized haven. Whether you're considering a walk-in closet installation or custom closet design and installation, we’re here to guide you! 


Our passion is helping you create storage spaces that are not only functional but also delightful to use.


Measure and Plan Your Custom Closet Design and Installation Space


Measure Your Closet Space

Start by measuring the width, height, and depth of your closet. Jot down these dimensions, making sure they're very accurate. Then, check for any obstacles like light switches, outlets, or even vents that might get in the way.


And if your doors swing open, be sure to measure how much space they take up when fully open.


Plan Your Walk-In Closet Layout

What do you need most in your closet? More hanging space? Extra shelves? A special spot for shoes? List your priorities. It will also be great to sketch a rough layout of your dream closet. Like how you'll organize different items—like your clothes, favorite shoes, everyday accessories, and more.


And more importantly–get some help! At Carolina Closets Plus, we're always here to help you fine-tune your vision. We can also give you tips and suggestions to make the most of your space.



Select Components and Accessories for Your Closet

Now that you've got your measurements and a rough layout, it's time to pick out the components and accessories that will bring your custom closet to life!


Choose the Right Components

Figure out how many feet of hanging rods you need for different clothes (long dresses, shirts, pants, etc.). You can always go for adjustable shelves to match your changing storage needs as well. And remember–deep shelves are perfect for sweaters. Shallow ones? Great for your kicks!


Plus, you can also add drawers for things you want to keep out of sight, like undergarments and other accessories.


Pick the Perfect Accessories

Keep your shoes organized and easy to grab with shoe racks. Then, make sure to also use jewelry trays, belt racks, valet rods and tie holders to keep everything neat.


Pro tip? Good lighting not only makes things easier to see but also adds that touch of luxe. LED strip lights or puck lights are your great options here.  Another thing to consider would be to change the light fixtures to a LED fixture that puts out much brighter light.



Customize Your Style

Pick finishes and colors that truly fit your personal taste and that also match your home décor. If you're into classic white, maybe you love rich wood tones or even modern gray, there's always something perfect for you!


Choose stylish handles and knobs for both your drawers and cabinets. Little details can really make a big difference!

Ventilating Your Closet

Don't forget about proper ventilation when setting up your custom closet. Good airflow prevents any mold, mildew, and those musty smells. Plus, adding vents or small exhaust fans can boost airflow, keeping your clothes fresh and in great shape.


And don’t stuff your closet too full! Leave some room between clothes for air to circulate. Also, consider that simply leaving your closet doors open for a few hours each week can improve ventilation.


Maintain Your Custom Closet Regularly


Cleaning Routine

First, dust those shelves, drawers, and hanging rods regularly to prevent any dirt buildup. Trust me, a little dusting goes a long way! Next up, grab your vacuum and give the floor a good once-over. Keep it free from dust and debris that can accumulate over time.


And don't forget to wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth. A quick way to remove any spills or stains that may have appeared.


Organizing Tips

Do some Seasonal Swaps! Yes, rotate your clothes as the seasons change—store away off-season items in labeled bins or some vacuum-sealed bags. Also, regularly go through your clothes and accessories to declutter or weed out what you no longer need. If something's in good condition, consider donating or maybe selling it.


And finally, reorganizing is key. Adjust your shelves and rods to fit new items and keep everything looking neat and tidy.
