When looking for storage solutions, many people assume that cabinets and closets are interchangeable. But the truth is, closets are not cabinets—they require a completely different approach to design, accessibility, and function.
At Colorado Closets Plus, we specialize in true custom closet designs, not repurposed kitchen cabinets. Here’s why that distinction matters:
1. Closets Prioritize Accessibility Over Enclosure
Cabinets are designed to conceal items behind doors, while closets focus on quick access and visibility. In a well-designed closet, you can immediately see what you have and grab what you need without digging through deep, enclosed shelves.
2. Cabinet Depth Wastes Space in a Closet
Standard cabinets are 24 inches deep, which works well in kitchens but wastes valuable space in a closet. Closet shelving should be custom-sized for folded clothing, shoes, and accessories, making better use of every inch.
3. Closet Systems Include More Functional Features
A custom closet goes beyond simple storage—it integrates:
Double-hang sections for clothing
Shoe racks designed for visibility
Built-in laundry hampers and valet rods
Accessory drawers for jewelry, belts, and watches
These custom elements make closets more efficient than generic cabinetry ever could.
4. Custom Closets Fit Your Space Perfectly
Unlike pre-built cabinet systems that force you to adjust to their limitations, a custom closet is designed specifically for your home’s layout and your personal storage needs.
At Colorado Closets Plus, we design closets with functionality, style, and longevity in mind. Whether you need a walk-in wardrobe, a reach-in refresh, or a custom-built dressing room, we create solutions that maximize space without sacrificing design.
