The Battle of the Best Closet Organizer System

Organizing your personal belongings in a house which has inadequate storage space can be frustrating.

Your closet is a key area in your bedroom that you will want to take the time to organize properly. It's an area which is utilized daily so it is essential that you have a good closet organizer system in place to organize belongings for the women such as clothing items, accessories, handbags, and for the men their clothes and accessories such as ties and belts.

There are several options to consider when deciding whether to redesign your closet or just to replace your existing closet with a ready-made design.

Choosing a ready-made design will be a more cost effective solution and can easily be purchased from your local homeware store. However, if you really want to have a closet organization system that fits your specific requirements, then the customized option would be the preferred method to choose. Although keep in mind that this could easily cost you a thousand dollars or more depending on the quality of materials chosen and workmanship.

Another option that is midway between the above two options is to have a closet organization kit manufactured. This option involves providing details of your closet requirements to a manufacturer. The manufacturer completes the construction of the closet and provides the kit to you for installation.

If you are going to purchase a closet organization kit and install it yourself, then keep in mind the following:

Provide detailed information to the manufacturer about your requirements ie. dimensions of your closet, layout, and your preference for materials used;

Choose a manufacturer who uses quality materials and takes pride in his workmanship;

Request the manufacturer to provide you with step by step instructions for installing your closet kit. Good instructions will save you from headaches when you are ready to install your new closet;

Check the all inclusive cost of the kit including cost of materials and labor, and any shipping costs that would be charged;

Seek clarification on the level of "do it yourself" requirements and any special equipment that would be required for the installation;

Ensure that you or someone in your household has the requisite skills, tools and equipment to complete the installation. There is nothing worse than having delivery of your kit than to find it sitting in your house partly assembled and awaiting installation several months later.

Ask the manufacturer about a guarantee for workmanship and manufacturing;

Factor in any extra costs to install additional storage units such as wire baskets or drawers.

Another option to consider is to hire a professional organizer to help plan your bedroom and closet systems to improve its layout. This option could be more expensive but if you have an ample budget then having your closet area properly designed for utility and functionality could be a good move.

Professional organizers usually have contacts in the home organization field who can provide more unique solutions for a complete customized closet organizer system for your bedroom.

Having a functional closet is the key to successful home organization. It should be a joy to walk into your closet knowing that it is well laid out and that you will be happy to use it in years to come.
