3 Important Closet Design Decisions

1.  Adjustability
By choosing a custom closet system with increment holes, your closet can change as you and your family changes. You decide how high you want each shelf. You can decide if you want that second tier to hang shorter items like pants, shirts or children's clothing. 

2.  Drawers
Drawers do increase the cost of a custom closet system a bit but there are several reasons to consider adding drawers, whether it's a walk-in or reach-in. 

1. A place to store the small stuff that doesn't hang like socks, underwear and jewelry
2. Drawers can hold twice as much clothing than hanging
3. Drawers give you a sleek look that can also hide the messy aspects of your closet

3.  Height
Use the entire vertical space of your closet. Make sure you start the top of your closet system high enough to have room for two levels of hanging clothes. Even if you don't need them now, down the road you may. And any leftover room at the top is a great place to store rarely used items.
