As with most home improvement projects, evaluating the cost, benefits, and usefulness of a home upgrade is an important first step. Custom closets are worth the time and money spent when it comes to becoming the organized homeowner you desire to be.

The kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and master bedroom of your home are some of the first places a buyer will want to check out when attending a viewing. When custom closets and organization systems are added into these spaces, it enhances the appeal of your home to buyers because they can easily imagine how their own personal belongings will fit into the areas. Plus, there is nothing quite like buying a home that already has extra storage and space! Custom closets show great during open houses and home tours - you will notice that your real estate agent will make a big deal of showcasing these areas in their listing presentations and will make sure to point them out during home showings.

Over the past few years, Marie Kondo has become the guru in home organization and her “spark joy” approach to getting and staying organized inspired people across the world to clear out clutter and get organized. One of her methods for keeping tidy involves placing things within view and in plain sight. This allows you to know what you own, exactly where it is located, and how many or how much of something you have. This method for organization is said to bring ease and efficiency into your daily routine. Nothing quite opens up your space like built-ins for your master closet, kitchen pantry, or kids closets. Adding custom hanging rods, shelves, hooks and folding stations will keep things tidy and within sight, so you won’t be digging through the pile on your closet floor for the belt that matches the shoes you have on that day. 

Custom closets will bring added benefit to your life and help you keep a tight running shift in your home. The organization systems that are installed will allow you to enjoy extra space, but they will also add time to your life because you will know right where everything is located. So, does a custom closet upgrade benefit your everyday life? Yes! And it will benefit the resale value of your home as well!

Adding custom closets into your home is an investment that will pay off in the long-run. According to Forbes magazine, custom closets with additional storage not only boost the value of your home but can help it sell faster. Custom closets can potentially get you a signed contract more quickly and in a competitive real estate market, any feature that stands out from other homes is going to help you get the price you want. In addition to adding value to your home’s sell price, organization systems help save you time and as the saying goes, “time is money”.

Investing in custom closets throughout your home will help to increase the ease of your daily routine, add aesthetic appeal to your home and over time you will find that the cost is worth it, especially when your home stands out above the rest because you made smart choices in home improvement projects that added additional storage space!
