Last week I showed you my scary coat closet before photo, shared some inspiration, and discussed why I decided to work with Closet Factory to create a custom coat closet system rather than trying to DIY my own fix. This week, it’s all about planning, design choices, and installation.
When it came to drawer pulls, I was really impressed by the variety offered by Closet Factory, but I asked if I could supply my own to really personalize the style. They said that was no problem at all, so I purchased some Amerock Galleria pulls {affiliate link} that I’d had my eye on from Home Depot for just over $5 each, and had them shipped directly to Closet Factory to be added to the drawers during the construction process.
Closet Factory’s custom organizational solutions extend far beyond closets – think laundry rooms, craft rooms, and home offices, just to name a few – so their design offerings also include a massive wall of laminate counter top options for these spaces. Even though our coat closet doesn’t need a counter top, I certainly enjoyed browsing this section of the showroom. I was amazed to learn that all of these laminates are included in the design price with no up-charges! As someone who seems to have a knack for picking the most expensive finish from a wall of choices like this, knowing they are all the same price would sure make the design process less stressful!
With so many different finishes, moldings, and details, the options are nearly endless to create specialty drawer and door fronts to suit your style – from classic, to eclectic, to modern. You can even mix and match finishes to create a completely unique space – like this reach in closet that I spotted in the showroom that uses two different colors of melamine with frosted glass doors.

Love it! I am proud to be a Design Consultant with Closet Factory and to work with Doug. Helping our clients get ecstatic about their coat closets, master closets, kid's closets or all the other things we do is so much fun! Enjoy your closet Angela!

Okay, I am dying over all the lucite in that pantry. It's like my closet had a pantry-baby. Dreamy. And I'm so impressed that the install only took 2 hours. I can't wait to see the final reveal!

Hi Angela, I love your blog (though with a toddler and a 5-week-old don't have as much time to read it as I would like) this post grabbed my attention as I'm planning to add a closet when we have some renovations done. My problem is I can't decide how big to make it – yours for a family of four – would be a perfect guide size. Would you mind telling me the dimensions? It would be a huge help. Apologies if these are in this or one of the other closet posts – I had a quick look but couldn't find them. Thanks, Jen

Jen, I totally understand the time crunch of two little ones! I don't think I had included the closet dimensions anywhere, so I'm glad you asked. Our closet is 24 inches deep and 64 inch wide on the inside. The pull open doors are 24" wide each. We have 10 foot ceilings, so our closet is extra tall, but I would just make sure your closet is as tall as your ceilings allow.

I love that you had them build in a little area for the kids' coats! That is absolutely brilliant. I want to do that with some of our closets, too. Even though our children will grow up, we'll have grandkids some day, and in the meantime, we can just stack some baskets down there or something. I just love that you thought of that! http://www.bellasystemssc.com/Charlotte.php

Thanks, Tara. That's the best part of the Closet Factory system…the kid space we've designated won't go unused as they get bigger. Everything is fully adjustable, so we'll simply remove the shelf above their coats and move the clothing rod up to accommodate their full sized coats when they are older. I love that everything is totally adjustable.
