Too basic for do-it-yourselfers
To me, a reference book is only as good as its index, and this one barely covers one page. This book is good for visual ideas and general information that you might need to purge or to address issues for your closet designer. It tries to cover too many different spaces, including a garden shed, but falls short on specific information on how to do it yourself. Borrow it from the library.

great resource
I bought five books on amazon to help us design a bedroom closet for our new home. This was one out of the two books that were the most helpful with unique ideas that hit really the spot. We are currently focused on the bedroom but wished we had thought of some of their ideas for the already-finished kitchen! I especially appreciated the abundance of good color pictures and that they focused more on the design than the actual construction of closets.

I was impressed with their response
Unfortunately, this book never arrived in the mail. I waited until the last day the reseller said it would get here. I then sent an e-mail asking if there were any problems on their side? I very quickly received an e-mail stating they had sent it three weeks prior. They said they would send another copy or refund my money. I choose a refund and the next business day they sent another e-mail telling me the refund had already been made. I would not hesitate to order from them in the future.

Closet space can be a reality
Great color photos, lots of good info on how to organize and arrange your closets. Not only for clothes closets, but this also gives details on turning a small closet into an office, pantry, etc. Great decorative schemes, and so many ideas you won't know what to do with. I like the before and afters.

An absolutely excellent book!
No holds barred, this closet makeover book is the best! Highly practical in its format, giving solutions for storage for small and large spaces, instructions and ideas are presented in a very clear way. Makeovers range from the extremely simple (adding another shelf) to the complex and everything in between. If this book doesn't inspire you to redesign your closet to suit YOUR needs, nothing will!

Good even if a touch superficial
I found this really helpful when I (not being a carpenter) framed in several closets. The book covers a wide variey of projects; consequently, the treatment is a touch superficial, but it was good enough for me to get the job done. Great resource for the price (assuming you get a used copy).

Recommended.

Two storage solutions in one, this hanging organizer from Design Bent keeps sweaters organized and shoes off the prostrate. Crafted from durable canvas in a natural color, the piece attaches to a closet dowel with a wide Velcro sleeve. Three flavourless shelves hold approximately six mid-weight sweaters, while the moderate square pockets hold up to ten pairs of loafers, heels, or flats (not Non-Standard real suitable for bulkier shoes).

Adequate Shoe Bag
The only problem I have with this is that the smaller cubbies are too small. I have trouble getting a pair of shoes in them. Other than that it is a sturdy great shoe Hanger.

Check dimensions for your needs
This is exactly as is described. Good hanging storage for the price. Please note the dimensions before buying, however. About a year ago I bought a similar product from a storage solutions store and it was larger. So I expected this to be the same. It was not. This one is smaller in width. A pair of mens hiking boots fit easily in the larger upper compartments, but you can really only use the bottom section for 1 shoe per cubby.
I have had this product for over 6 months now and it is holding up well. I've been stuffing shoes in and stretching it and no rips yet.

Pretty good
It's good for not so heavy duty. If a lot of things are to be put in the cases (like shoes) it may weighs the whole bad down, and making the top that is attached to the bar curved. the bases between cells are made of carton like material so they get bent if heavy things were to put there for a period of time. Overall, pretty neat, but not recommended for too many things or a bit too heavy things.

Great Storage Bag
This bag is great quality and the different sized compartments are nice. I bought the drawers to go in the shelves and I ended up with a great storage solution in my closet. It would be great for craft supplies too, especially with some drawers.

'Project Runway': Tim Gunn carries on (to Season 7)

08.09.10

It was looney kajooney earth, let me tell you. The backstage at Bryant Commons is always crowded —you've filled the intermission to capacity, so we have a ton of ringlets people, makeup people, models, dressers and, because we couldn't have any of the designers revealed to the non-exclusive at large, we had all 16 designers backstage. Thankfully we only had three people showing, and that's a memorandum for us: It's always been at least four. That was the upright news: There were no red herrings. Owing to the incident that we couldn't saturnalia to the audience who the finalists were, we wanted to spool their introduction before the audience came in. We had to do a pre-fashion show, and we taped the whole fixation. Through the miracles of editing, it's customary to look as though the designers are speaking to the audience, but there isn't one. We did the whole show; it was enthusiastic. Then a volunteer at Bryant Reservation declared that the models should get out of their looks — it takes forever to get them into them, up over the utterly with the hair and makeup. I was distracted by something, then I'm paying full prominence backstage and the models are getting undressed. I said, "Cease! What is happening here?" The principal dresser said, "I'm getting them out of their clothes." "Why?" "Well, they're prosperous to steam them." That's when I said, "I am about to squander it, and everyone's prevailing to stay in her clothes! Term."  You significance Irina [Shabayeva]? There is another circumstance, to me, that was different. When we convoke for fashion week, we're together with the designers for a week before the show. The show's been airing except for Seasonable 6, so everyone knows what's been event with those one-on-one interviews and no one knew this outdated. I didn't recall, the designers didn't differentiate, so none of the designers knew until the show started airing. That most often there's a type of climax during the vogue week preparations where the designers are addressing these issues, these things that they've heard in these one-on-one interviews, and in a way it informs me, too. None of that happened. If we were to do it again now, it would uncommonly be different. At the same tempo, though, this season there wasn't indeed a person for whom I have antipathy, like Kenley [Collins].  Blech. Before that, Victorya Hong, before that, Vincent Libretti. Irina is viscid clinging to. She absolutely wants it. We had a very desire lunch with Irina and her blood, and, oh my God, talk about the nut not falling far from the tree. Her mummy was saying things like, "If Irina doesn't win, she punter not come refuge," and I could say she's already a title-holder.  Also, Irina was my grind.

What do you feel are the key needs in closet design?

Aug 24, 2007 by DZNR4U | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

If you had no restrictions on size or budget, how would your closet look and/or how would you organize your closet?

---

I think I would have a bank of drawers in the center with a smaller top drawer for jewelry with cubicles above for your shoes. Then on one side of the bank, I would put shelves for sweaters and purses or any boxed items. Then on the other side, I would put two rods for double hang (hanging blouses, shirts, or pants). I would use all wooden or smaller felt hangers. Hopefully the height of your closet will have enough room on the top for items that you do not use often. If you have room on another wall, I would add whatever combination for your needs. Something for long hanging items, like dresses, robes, etc. Add a slide out with hooks on it to the inside of the end wall for belts and if you need something for ties, you could add on another end.

Try to take an inventory of what you have. Measure the width of your short items and the long items and configure the closet to accommodate everything. The end panels should have holes drilled to adjust the height of the rods and shelves.

You can use white to give a lighter look or if your closet is larger, you could use a wood. If it is very large, I would put an island in the center with drawers if there was enough room for them to pull out or shelves so that you have a place to lay out your clothes. Make sure to have good general lighting. That would be my ideal closet. I might even repeat the same configuration on the other wall or just use additional shelves, since you may not have room to pull out drawers. If you did, I might even add a mirror above the bank of drawers.

Closet design for charities?

Jun 19, 2006 by ready_to_rumble | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

There's a charity I have contacts with (in Vancouver, BC) and they're planning to design a closet, wondering where would be the best place to refer to. It'd be great if the designers donate their time and closets. If not, any cost-efficient closet designers? Do you think Home Depot has such service?

how will I design my walk-in closet?

Sep 17, 2007 by MaDaMoiSeLLe08 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

the construction of our own house will start this October 2007. I specifically asked the architect if I could have a walk-in closet in my bedroom, and so I did, but I have absolutely no Idea on how to organize my stuff, what kind of shelves to choose and the lighting too. I see shelves with multiple drawers and stuff, are those custom made? and how will I organize my stuff? If you have your own, how did you design it?

---

Most are closet systems that have pieces that can be mixed and matched to get the system that you want. They are available through home improvement stores, and some even have design assistance through their websites or in the stores.

My closet has ceiling to floor shelves on one wall and I keep my purses and shoes on them....my hubby gets the bottom shelf for his shoes. LOL. Another side of my closet is for my clothes only, and I have a bar mounted very high because I hang all of my jeans, pants, dresses, etc. My husband's side is the same length, but I had half of it made for the high-mounted bar, then the other half with two bars, one over the other, for hanging shirts. We also have a high shelf that goes around the top for suitcases, totes, blankets, etc.

I had the closet custom built for us by a carpenter. I never liked the closet systems because I don't like the wire racks and shelves, or the press-board cabinets. I wanted real wood. Just a preference though. My sister has a walk-in with the wire shelves and she loves it. She says it's very versatile.

what would be an ideal design for a closet intended for a blind person?

Mar 25, 2007 by samee | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

--> a female adult to be exact
--> design should make it easier for user to reach and make use of everything despite her ability

Try the white metal shelving units, or the plastic stacking bins, for storage at one end of closet, and shoe holders that sit on floor, at other end. if the closet has reg. door, put an over the door shelf on inside of it, for slippers, purses, scarfs, hats, so on. On the front of shelving add braille name tabs, on the closet door hanger shelf, add braille name tabs on the door above the shelving, and as for the shoe holder shelf, put in braille tab on the wall of closet where the shoes are an so on. Hope this was a fairly good bit of help to you.

Organize: Office in a closet

There are some incredible looking offices contained within closets.  If only I could talk myself into giving up the closet place!  It’s such a cool idea.

Here are even more ideas:

In the variant, check out this idea from Martha Stewart - a work space contained within a good-looking piece of furniture.  This is not your run of the mill computer armoire.

Have you implemented anything like this in your cuttingly?  If so, share your pictures!  If not, do you think this is a benign idea or a waste of closet space?
