Why Invest in Kids’ Closets?

Anthony Cuomo • Nov 24, 2014

If you have children, you may have noticed that their closets tend not to be the tidiest areas of your home. The fact is, traditional closets are not really built with the needs of children in mind. The clothing rods may be out of your child’s reach, there might not be enough room to store all that your child wants to store, and it might not be an inviting space for your child to want to use. If you have been considering custom closets in your home, don’t neglect to have them designed and installed in your kids’ closets!

Here are some reasons why investing in kids’ closets is a good idea:

Children’s closets are surprisingly affordable
Since your kids’ closets are likely smaller than the one in your master bedroom, you can usually count on them being less expensive to customize. Also, consider that kids usually don’t need as many accessories as adults do; these “extras” are what drive up the cost of custom closets, in many cases. Young kids don’t need tie racks or belt racks, and they usually don’t have as large a shoe collection as their parents do.

Kids’ closets can boost the value of your home
If you are in the market to sell in the near or not-so-distant future, having custom closets installed can draw more attention to your listing. When potential buyers walk through your home, they’ll be interested in all of the storage space in the smaller bedrooms of the home! In most cases, homeowners choose to leave their custom closets in the home in order to maximize their investment, and potential buyers appreciate the chance to have their very own customized storage solutions.

Kids’ closets are built for kids!
As has been pointed out previously, closets in the kids’ bedrooms are usually not built with the needs of children in mind. As a result, clothing ends up on the floor, hair accessories and shoes get scattered across the room, and parents and kids alike experience the frustration that accompanies a messy living area. When clothing rods are placed at child-appropriate heights, children will be able to hang up their items. A few simple accessories or drawers allow your child to put away her other belongings, as well. Since your child, if old enough, will be part of the planning and design process, their wants will be incorporated into the finished product. Finally, you don’t have toworry that your child will outgrow her custom closet anytime soon; they’re designed to grow along with your child, so with a few minor tweaks, the same closet that worked for your toddler will be able to work for your teen.

If you have children, then chances are great that you have some bedroom chaos happening in their rooms, particularly in their closets. If you are ready to take charge of the situation, give your local closet professional a call and request a free consultation to talk about the possibilities. Investing in kids’ closets is a smart move for many reasons; this might be the time to prove it to yourself!
