What Is Custom Walk In Closet Design?

Walk in closet design is the practice of planning, building, and finishing a room-within-a-room storage area that you can step inside to manage your belongings. Unlike traditional reach-in closets, a walk in format provides substantially greater room, allowing for specialty storage for shoes, jewelry, bags, and seasonal items.

From a construction standpoint, the process covers a full space assessment followed by built-in unit construction that are integrated into the structure of your home. Materials typically include hardwood, plywood, or engineered wood, based on what fits your aesthetic and investment. Lighting, mirrors, and hardware are incorporated to finish the space.

What you end up with is a purpose-built room tailored to your exact storage needs and personal taste. Walk in closet design isn't a generic solution — every build is specific to the space.

In those situations, our designers can suggest other custom storage solutions, like custom built-in shelving, a wardrobe unit, or a Murphy bed with integrated storage that which here still provides a major improvement in storage.
