Dear <<First Name>>,

Fall is here with all its glorious colors and cooler weather! Fall also means shorter daylight hours, so once again you may be getting ready for work while it is still dark outside. All the more reason to make sure your closets are well lit and super organized so you can quickly find what you need. Learn how today’s closets help make that happen.

Dave Baskam,  P.E.

Have It All in Your Closet


Many of us have read Martha Stewart’s advice for determining what to keep and what to remove from our closets. She recommends you ask yourself: “How long have I had it? Does it still function? Is it a duplicate of something I already own? When was the last time I wore it or used it?” This kind of advice definitely helps us declutter. But when Monday morning comes and you are rushing to get ready for work, the type of closet organization system you have makes an even bigger difference in how quickly you can find that day’s perfect outfit and all the accessories that go with it.


Organization and Storage

Does your current system resemble this: underwear is stored in dresser drawers, suits are hung in the closet, accessories are kept in clear plastic bins stacked here and there, and shoes are slid into a shoe rack hanging from the bedroom door? You are proud there is a place for everything and everything is (usually) in its place. However, when you are in a hurry, precious time is lost scrambling from one corner of your bedroom to the other.

There is a more efficient way to handle things: a closet that offers one convenient space where everything is right at your fingertips. A variety of organization components are available for today’s closets, each one created for the optimal storage and protection of a specific type of item. Traditional elements, such as drawers, closet rods and shelves are designed for flexibility with multiple widths and depths.


Extra amenities to consider for your closet may include: full extension drawer slides so you can reach the very back of your closet; a pull down wardrobe lift so you can effortlessly reach clothing that is hanging in high places; sliding shoe and boot racks that bring your footwear out to you for easy selection; pullout hampers and foldaway ironing stations; mirrors that allow you to decide then and there which necklace or scarf best complements your outfit; locks that will secure jewelry and other valuables.


Lighting

Have you ever come to work with mismatched socks or shoes and it wasn’t on purpose? Perhaps your closet is lit with only one small overhead light fixture, which often makes its difficult for you to distinguish between wardrobe items that are black, brown and navy blue. One of today’s most exciting closet innovations is the introduction of LED lighting that illuminates all those previously dark spaces, minus the heat that could damage your clothing. There are extremely flat surface-mounted downlights, lighted wardrobe tubes, strategically placed LED ribbons, and glass edge ambient shelf lighting. “I got dressed in the dark” is no longer a viable excuse.
                                   

Artistry

While paying attention to every detail that assists you in getting dressed more efficiently, you will also want to maximize the beauty of your closet. Choose soft neutral colors, luxurious textures and classy finishes that serve as a serene backdrop for your wardrobe, yet make your closet feel very attractive and inviting.
