Are Children's Custom Closets Worth It?

When your children have custom storage spaces for their items, much of this chaos can be avoided. They will be able to locate their clothing and shoes. If they keep their backpacks in their bedrooms, they will have a specific place to keep them, which means all of their homework and signed permission slips should be ready to go when you are. Accessories like valet rods can allow you to approve each outfit for cleanliness and appropriateness on the weekends and simply have them ready to go for each weekday. These strategies can help keep your mornings running more smoothly and get everyone started off on the right foot.

Additionally, not having a good organization system at home can lead to the same type of disorganization at school. If your child has not learned how to put things away properly because his or her closet and bedroom are cluttered and hard to use, chances are good that they will also struggle with these tasks at school. A child who cannot locate a pencil, a homework assignment, a textbook, or other necessary items will often feel more stress and can see a drop in his or her grades.

Having custom closets is not a panacea, but it can help your child start the day off calmly as well as teach him or her how to keep belongings organized and in good condition. This is a lifelong lesson that will stick with him or her through not only elementary school but also through high school, college, and adult life. Imagine your child as a fully functioning adult who does not struggle with clutter because he or she learned early how to keep things well-organized. What a gift you could be giving your child!

All of our children’s closets grow along with the child. As they get taller, the hanging rods and other components can be raised. In addition, you’ll be able to remove components that no longer make sense. For example, installing cubbies for a small child to keep sweatshirts or leggings in is a great way to allow them autonomy in putting their items away. Teenagers, however, might not want to have what they perceive as “little kid furniture” in their closets. No problem; those can come out and something more grownup like shoe racks or a regular shelving unit can be added.

Our goal is to create a children’s closet that will be as amazing for your future teenager as it is for your present toddler. You’ll also be able to use the space as a craft closet, a guest room closet, or whatever you desire once your child grows up and moves out. Installing a children’s closet is a great investment in your home because it can be transformed as your needs change.
