Custom Closets: What You Want to Know About Pricing

The accessories and the size of your closet will determine the price. A larger closet will cost more than a smaller closet, but you’ll also have that much more storage space. Also, adding accessories like extra rods, extra drawers, jewelry trays, a telescoping tie rack, extra shoe racks and a valet rod will all add to your final price. Be assured, though, that these are also very attractive to homebuyers, so if you plan to sell your home in the future, spending extra on closet accessories might make it easier for your home to sell.

Spending more to have a custom closet organizer design and install your closet makes sense when you consider the frustration and wasted time that installing a DIY closet organization system can cause. Remember that closets “out of a box” seldom fit your space perfectly, and will likely require adjustments. Also, the quality of these materials is not as high as that of the materials that a closet professional can procure. Saving a few dollars now might result in wasted money later, if the closet system were to fail.

The price range for a custom closet might be $1,000 or $10,000. Toward the lower end of the price range is a “standard” custom closet. For a walk-in closet, this might include a long clothing rod, two short clothing rods, four drawers, a shoe rack and shelving. If you needed more shoe racks or extra drawers, this would raise the cost.
