Things to Think About When Having a Custom Cabinet or Closet Installed

Custom built garage roller doors and custom storage closets for the garage are increasing in popularity and this is mainly down to their versatility, storage functions and aesthetic properties. As their name might suggest, these personalised storage facilities aren’t like regular run of the mill cupboards – they are designed to suit the home owner or resident, and so require a little more planning before installation.

Custom Cabinets For Small Spaces

Even the smallest property could stand to benefit from a customised cupboard and once a reputable design and construction company has been found, the next phase is to make plans for the size and shape of the facility itself. There are a few important factors to consider here, all of which will dictate how effective and functional the closet is once it’s been fitted.

Of these factors, special attention should be paid to the size of the closet itself. If it’s too big, you could soon find yourself limited in terms of floor space - and this can be detrimental within smaller rooms. If it’s too small, then you may end up needing to invest in further storage solutions to cater to your property and belongings.

With the size considered, the next thing to contemplate is the shape. The shape of a wardrobe can benefit the look and feel of a room, just as easily as it could detract from the area. The great thing about a customised closet is that it can be designed and built to suit the specifications of the room. Slanted ceilings, angled walls and protruding shapes can be worked around, making it easy to fit a personalised storage unit to house clothes and accessories alike.

Will the space be enough for your cabinet installation?

The only real way to understand whether or not the newly installed storage unit will be sufficient is by putting it to the test. As careful as the planning process might have been, there’s always the chance that the facility just won’t be large enough to store all intended items. Spending a little extra time to properly design the layout of the closet can make a lot of difference, especially as more items are accumulated and need storing.

A great thing about personal wardrobes is that they will typically be constructed with the owner in mind. This means that should any additions be needed in the future it’s simple to plan for them, or modify the appearance and shape of the wardrobe to reflect any further changes that may be required. A good designer can help with this and as the construction will be taken care of by a trained expert, you could always mention that you’d like to consider making allowances for a number of other options. Factors such as leaving additional space on one side or having holes drilled for interchangeable functionality that can be used further down the line can make all of the difference as your needs progress.
