The question is how can you get a closet which is designed for you? One which focuses on the “Y,” the “O” and the “U” of a personalized closet design. Here’s what I mean by the Y, O and U.

The Y begins by knowing this closet is designed for you (and/or your significant other). It should be built around your specific heights. The “Y” will look at how wide and deep your closet needs to be for your specific belongings. Making sure you be will be available to fit everything in. Figuring out if there is room for a closet island – if you would like that. It will be designed so you’ll be able to extend your drawers fully. The “Y” (or you) in closet design will use math (hope the thought of this doesn’t make your palms sweaty) to determine the size of every component, making sure it will work for you.

The O – The “O” is identifying opportunities you have for a more efficient or luxurious closet design. The “O” also looks at what obstacles you need to work around (not your clothes necessarily). Where are the light switches, access panels, outlets to be worked around for an effective design?
The U – The “U” of an effective closet design is gaining an understanding between you and your closet designer of budget and features which matter most. Making sure the design fits your desired finished look.

Let’s take a closer look at these “Y.O.U.” factors so you can get the closet your desire at a price you can afford.

Tip #1 (The “Y” – your height). Plugging your height into the closet equation

I hate to bring up math again (although I’ll confess to loving math. In college I actually took 3 statistics classes – now that’s a bit crazy!) but it’s a key component in an effective bedroom closet design. A good designer will want to know your height (the height of the person you’ll share the closet with) and the height of the closet walls. Why you may ask? Well, if you try to hang one section on top of another and there is not enough room between them (in the industry this is called “double hanging” – that term sounds kind of spooky, doesn’t it) then your husband shirts may be laying partially on the shelf below, causing them to be wrinkled and need ironing. Also, if you’re “vertically challenged” (the new P.C. – politically correct – term for being short), if the top hanging sections are too high you won’t be able to reach them (although the closet can be designed with a pull-down rod to make them accessible). In a closet design, size does matter!
