How to start designing a closet is a question that professional closet designers are frequently asked. It may well be one of the more important questions that we are asked. As the old saying goes "if you don't start on the right road you may never get to the right destination".
The first thing to think about when you are designing a closet is what purposes you want the closet to serve. This may sound simple but there are a multitude of purposes for a single closet. Ask yourself these questions and think carefully about the answers:
1. are you designing a walk in closet ?
2. is it a daily use closet?
3. is it for long term storage?
4. are you designing a closet for shoes or other specific items?
5. do you intend to store camping equipment or other sports gear?
6. does the closet require a make up table or a dressing table?
7. Do you want a closet design for personal use or will the closet be shared by the whole family?
8. do you intend to design a child friendly closet?
As your self these questions and many more and eventually you will have narrowed the the focus of the closet and appropriately defined the purposes of the closet.
Without a defined purpose a closet is simply an empty box. Sure, you can install a few shelves and a hanging rod to create a generic closet. Without knowing the purpose of the closet it will just be a guess when it comes to shelf placement, etc. Once the specific purposes of the closet have been identified then you will have an easier time designing the organizational components of the closet.
If you are asking yourself, "How do I design a closet?" you are taking an important first step towards achieving a great closet design. The thinking and planning part of the process should start and finish before the actual physical and tangible work begins.
