Call KC Custom Closets, we can help make your project a success!

It can be a challenge to create custom closet organization systems that meet the expectations of both spouses. She might want valet rods to plan her outfits for the next day while he might want a way to organize his ties and belts. Our designers are skilled at listening to your needs and incorporating elements that will benefit everyone – no matter how different your tastes are.

Before you start a closet redesign, we recommend taking a few steps to help you and your partner stay on the same page throughout the design process.

Step 1: Identify Your Goals

Determine why you want a redesign in the first place. Is your goal to clear clutter and create a clean, streamlined look? Perhaps you want to maximize space or add value to the home. Tell your designer about your specific goals from the beginning of the process, even if you and your partner disagree. You’ll be surprised at just how much we can accommodate in the same design!

Step 2: Collaborate

Sit down with your spouse and have an honest conversation about styles and colors you both like or don’t like. You might see your partner’s vision for the space and suddenly decide certain colors or elements are actually okay. Suggest your own ideas, consider a few different inspiration photos, and remain open minded. Your designer is likely to have some suggestions you had never considered.

Step 3: Figure Out Finances

Determine your redesign budget before the process begins. Redesigns are often emotionally charged for couples because they involve money. If this part of the process is predetermined, the rest of your design experience will go much more smoothly and you can both breathe easy knowing there are no surprises.
