Installing Custom Closets

Bob enters the master suite to talk with Marcy Weisberg and Brad Bendell who are installing the totally custom California Closets. Marcy explains that the homeowners asked for 'his' and 'hers 'sections in their 12' x 6' closet space. The 'hers' section is separated into long hanging with shelves above, double hanging for tops and bottoms, mid-length hanging with shelves above, and lots of shoe storage. Brad tells us that the Closet frames are built out of high-pressure furniture grade particle board with a mahogany finish. He first screws a metal bar into the studs with a 2" tempered screw . After that he puts a cover onto the rail to dress it up and then installs the vertical partitions for strength. Next he hangs the horizontal members. The hardware on the cam-locking shelf is inserted into the vertical partitions and the cam locks into place much like a piece of knock-down furniture. Brad then does the same at the bottom to complete the frame. Marcy explains that the closet systems are priced by component - partitions, shelves, and accessories. After the system is installed it will be separated from the rest of the master suite by a Japanese Shoji screen.

Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet
Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet

The master closet of the Melrose home was redesigned to maximize storage space. Chloe Durant of California Closets met with the homeowner to draw up plans on redesigning the space. The dressers in the closet were cluttered and in the wrong areas while hanging clothes were not accessible. A drawer unit with full extension, ball-bearing slides was selected. Double hanging was put into place where the hanging rack used to stand. Women's shoe shelves were put in to display different shoes. A vanity with jewelry drawer section was installed and a hanging wall with hangers at different heights to keep clothes organized. Adding all the hanging units has resulted in a big gain in the amount of open floor spacein the walk-in closet.
