Closet, Kitchen & Garage Organizers Educational Content
WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL?
Keeping your home organized is no easy feat. Fortunately, a professional can design custom solutions to help. An experienced organizing pro will come to your house to see your needs firsthand. This important step ensures that you get a truly customized organizational system. During the in-home visit, many professional design consultants will show you, right on the spot, how your new space will look. Companies that control the design, manufacturing, and installation processes will likely offer more custom options than companies that install pre-made products.
ORGANIZING OPTIONS
There are countless closet and garage organizing products to choose from. Each product is geared toward a specific task. For instance, angled shelving is great for shoe storage. Custom storage islands are fantastic for large walk-in closets.
Garages also have specific storage pieces available. Wall cabinets and slatwall systems can bring order to an otherwise cluttered space. Slatwall is made of PVC and is available in many colors. It helps you store items off the floor with a variety of accessories. Slatwall systems can be customized with bike racks, movable shelves, and large baskets.
The components available with organizational systems make them very customizable. Many organizational systems are modular. This means that you can work with your designer to choose only the pieces that work best for your needs. Home organizing systems don’t stop at closets and garages. Professional designers can create organizational systems for virtually every space in your house. From a play room to your pantry and laundry room, the pros will know what works best.
MATERIALS
Thermally fused laminate (TFL), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), plywood, and natural wood are popular materials for closet and garage organizing systems. Industrial-strength TFL is cost effective, durable, and easy to care for. It can be finished in an array of colors and styles. MDF, which is usually less expensive than TFL, is easy to shape, making it a good choice for trim and accents. Natural wood may be more expensive than other options, but it is visually impressive and long lasting.
In garage storage systems, slatwall is made from PVC. Cabinets, benches, and shelves are typically made from TFL. Racks and baskets are made of metal and wire. Some companies also offer durable synthetic floor coatings and interlocking tiles.
