Winnetka & North Shore Closet Organizers
UPDATED 2022
A closet with a single hanging rod isn't much use to us nowadays. Utilizing every last inch of that space is critical unless you want your clothes strewn all over the floor. If your closet reminds you of this messy cable box, you may need additional space. Plus the planning and installation of a new closet system.
Many of our high-end homes here in the North Shore villages of Winnetka, Kenilworth, Wilmette, Glencoe, and Northfield have closets as large as bedrooms. They are beautifully outfitted with shelves, drawers, rods, bins, chandeliers, and center islands. While most of us don't have that kind of space, we still want to have an efficient closet with decent space for everything.
It may have started with California Closets, the company that was the first "go-to" closet organizer. Now there are dozens of local places that can help, including big-box stores like Container Store that sell do-it-yourself closet organizing systems.
Don't limit your organization plans just to your master closet - all these companies also do kitchen pantries, media units, bookshelves, offices, laundries, mud rooms, and garages.
