Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Closet Storage

Should I upgrade my closet? How will I know when it's time for a closet upgrade? For most people, closets are only accessed a couple times a day and it's easy to close the door on your overflowing closet, telling yourself that you'll deal with it tomorrow. But starting off every morning with stress and ending the night with the same stress isn't a healthy way to live. In the long run, a cluttered closet wastes time, money, and causes unnecessary frustration in your life.

There are many reasons for a closet upgrade, but the main reason is that your lifestyle and storage needs have changed. A custom closet is an investment into yourself, giving you back your time, reducing your stress, and simplifying your life. Start building your custom closet today with Artisan Custom Closets in Atlanta. Our team of dedicated designers are here to help you build a closet that you want to spend time in, day after day.

Putting Together an Outfit Is Time-Consuming and Stressful

If you've ever wondered why finding the right clothes and putting together an outfit is so frustrating and time-consuming, the closet you have may not be serving your needs any more. Spending a lot of time searching for your clothes is annoying and you may not even fully recognize which clothes you have because you fail to see them displayed properly in your closet. You'll know when to upgrade your closet when you groan rather than grin at the sight of your clothes.

Your Clothes Are Taking Over Your Living Space

The classic clothes chair. We get it, we've been there before, but when the temporary clothes chair evolves into clothes on the bed, on the floor, and anywhere besides your actual closet, this means that you have a storage problem. You've probably outgrown your closet size and your clothes are finding refuge in other parts of your home.

Clothes, shoes, and accessories should stay in the closets where they live. You should feel comfortable going into your closet, knowing that everything has its place and is ready to serve you when you need it. Are you living in a home with tall ceilings? Consider using the vertical space to your advantage with pull-out drawers or extendable racks. Artisan Custom Closets provides a free at-home consultation, where our designers can help measure your space and utilize every corner to its greatest storage advantage.

You Frequently Misplace Items

Have you ever created the perfect outfit in your mind but couldn't find the exact pieces when it came time to change? Do you remember how frustrating that felt? You might decide to repurchase the item, considering it a loss, and then found the original item again, a few weeks later. Now, not only did you waste time trying to find the item, you've also wasted money trying to replace something that was never lost in the first place.

Clutter and chaos are taking over your life. A closet upgrade will alleviate all this wasted time, money, and daily frustration. Customizing your closet to have more hanging rods, built-in drawers, or a dedicated shoe space, will help create an organized system tailored just for you and your needs.

No Matter How Much You Organize, the Clutter Returns

Another sign when to upgrade your closet is if you feel like your closet is perpetually messy, despite your regular attempts at organizing and tidying. The root problem isn't your lack of effort — it's from a lack of usable storage space.

Standard closets don't account for the nooks and crannies of your closet and there's often a lot of space that's wasted because of it. A custom closet upgrade can provide a better diversity of storage space, like the addition of drawers, shoe racks, dividers, on top of hanging space and shelves. Adjustable compartments or customizations for the height of your closet shelves can also help provide easier access to everything in your closet.

If you're someone who commonly misplaces everyday items, building a separate space in your custom closet will help you streamline your morning and create consistency in your storage.

Your Lifestyle Has Changed

What you prioritized when you were younger may not be the same as your priorities now. Even as short as five years ago, much could be changed in your life — personal style, new hobbies, a change in employment. Take a look around your closet. Are there things that you no longer wear or need? Has your lifestyle outgrown your closet?

Upgrading a closet means establishing a space that suits your present needs and anticipates your future ones. You may be prioritizing fewer, but higher-quality things or have new hobbies that require more space in your closet. As your clothing needs evolve, consider modular shelves and adjustable compartments. Adding extra storage space for seasonal items, exercise, or travel equipment will help keep your closet upgrade fresh and function for years to come.
