On your road to owning the perfect California custom closet you've already taken some big steps. Just to recap, by this point you've been through your closet and purged everything you no longer wear. You've donated your cast offs to worthy charities. You've identified and measured your short hanging and your long hanging and you have measured the height of you closet. Now it's time to take inventory of everything else in your closet. You are going to make important decisions about how you would like to store and or display everything in your closet that doesn't hang. This is where your closet truly becomes customized.
There is no right or wrong when deciding how to store or display your possessions. There is only preference. So ask yourself, when you walk into your closet what do you want to see? Some people want slanted shoe shelves to beautifully display their gorgeous hand made Italian leather shoes. Others want beautiful cabinet doors which open into organized arrays of cashmere sweaters. As you take inventory separate items into categories and ask yourself do I want this on an open shelf, in a cabinet behind a door or do I want this in a drawer? Of course there are thousands of variations on these three themes but narrowing it down to one of the three will be very helpful.
In the next installment I will be talking about designing your closet to include custom functionality. I hope you'll check back.
