It’s a common theme in today’s world: how to do more in less time. The desire to manage time and schedules most effectively influences the realm of home design and decor in terms of organization and efficiency in closets, offices, pantries and more.
Not too long ago, homes were built without much thought to closets and storage. Homeowners are increasingly looking for storage solutions and the benefits of this investment appear to be clear with the trend’s growing popularity. People today simply don’t have time to deal with disorganized homes amidst life’s fast pace. They want to grab what they need — when they need it — without having to waste time and there is no doubt that compartmentalized closets reduce stress and anxiety.
Regardless of your closet’s size, the most important component is organization. With countless options in customization, companies like Organized Living are helping homeowners create functional, uncluttered spaces. “Everyone needs more time and space! The secret to gaining more of both is having the right storage system in place,” explains Jennifer Dusina, Communications Manager at Organized Living. “With a product like our freedomRail, you can double, triple or even quadruple space in less than a few hours.”
Most popular in closets, pantries, garages, laundry rooms, kid’s rooms/playrooms and mudrooms, freedom-Rail is a true example of an adjustable home organization system that can be customized for every area of the home. Made with 30% more steel than other systems, durability as well as quick and easy installation are part of the product’s allure. Ranging in price from $500 – $2,500 for average walk-in closet, homeowners can certainly attain this design trend at reasonable costs.
“Organized Living offers a variety of storage systems for homeowners to create fully functional spaces in areas throughout the home” says Jennifer. The Classica for instance, is a more traditional, built-in system which can be installed as a floor or wall mounted system. Homeowners can choose from convenient accessories like valet rods, tie racks, jewelry drawer inserts and laundry hampers. Designs include flat or decorative door and drawer front options and are available in eight beautiful, on-trend finishes, including touchable textures. Price range for this option is $1,000 – 3,500.
“Our storage systems are popular with homeowners because they are strong enough to withstand daily wear of busy families in high traffic areas such as mudrooms and can be easily adjusted as needs change in a variety of closets.”
This includes retrofitting existing closets as well. Most standard closets come with one or two standard shelves with a hanging rod. This doesn’t fully maximize space. The Lifetime storage solution for example, is the only ventilated wire shelving to exceed industry weight standards. Equipped with an epoxy coated wire that’s durable and maintenance-free, the PVC free product is made of 100% recycled steel and is a great green choice for home organization. Cost for this ranges from $150 – 1,200 for average walk-in closet.\
With solutions for any room of any size in any style or budget, homeowners are sure to find storage to suit their needs. No matter what area of the house, having an organized closet is the gateway to having an organized room and an organized life. Virtually any space can be personalized. After all, custom closet and storage design trends are all about creating a place for everything while maximizing the spaces you use every day so you can reap the benefits of your investment in time saved and less stress.
