1. Try to create a balanced and visually appealing design. You're investing your time and money....so be sure you like the finished product.
2. Determine how much of each clothing storage "type" you need (eg. hanging, folded, drawers). Our professional organizers recommend doing a detailed inventory....but who has the time. Just make a general estimate of what you use now, and note any deficiencies. For example: you have 10 feet of hanging space, but could use another 2 feet.
3. Don't underestimate how much space you require for hanging clothes, and don't plan too much area for long hanging. With today's fashions most people don't need more than 12 to 24 horizontal inches of long hanging space.
4. Locate drawers at the center of your closet design, directly across from the door so they are the first thing you see when entering the closet. Drawers make a good visual focal point and typically need the extra clearance provided by the central location. If you're designing a large closet, include an island in the center of the space that incorporates your drawers.
5. Use the corners for hanging space not shelves. Corner shelves are usually too deep and folded clothes get lost. However, corners work well for hanging clothes where occasional use items can be moved to the back.
6. Leave ample vertical space between shelves for folded clothes. The minimum height is 8 inches, the maximum is 18 inches and the optimum height 12 inches. Too little height creates deep dark spaces and too much height wastes space and stacked clothes fall over. 
7. Plan sufficient space for your shoes. If you have an average number of shoes you may be able to place them under the hanging clothes sections. Otherwise you should plan a full closet section for shoe storage.
8. Shoe shelves should be a minimum of 2 feet wide to accomodate two pairs sitting tandem. Wider shelves should increase by increments of 12 inches (or approximately one pair of shoes).
9. Make a space for your dirty laundry hamper. Keep in mind that you must tote that full hamper to your laundry room. Retractable hampers that slide on runners is an ideal system for most closets.

Cozy Closets combines technology and tradition to bring the best in space organization to your home.

New Bedford, MA is a center of New England craftsmanship, ranging from boat building to textile mills and fine furniture. Cozy Closets builds on this tradition, but adds 21st century technology to its roots in woodworking. Its sister company, ACE Woodworking, was established more than forty years ago as a builder of case work and store interiors for the commercial trade, including some of the best known retailers nationwide. The company is to this day locally owned and operated.

The facility of some 40,000 square feet is in a completely modernized textile mill building dating back to the early 1900's. ACE Woodworking specializes in large scale commercial projects such as retail store interiors, university and college food service / lab furniture. This heritage made it easy to establish a closet design and manufacturing business.

Cozy Closets has all of the state-of-the-art equipment required to fabricate custom closet components. The equipment is entirely computer-driven and delivers the parts needed with perfect precision every time. We have focused on eliminating potential errors in the design and production process, from the initial in-home design session (which is always free) to the final assembly in your home. The delivery and installation process has been refined in over forty years of dealing with the most demanding national retail chain customers. Our knowledge of the materials and hardware is second to none, and we buy in large commercial quantities from the highest quality suppliers.

Even our business approach blends the traditional with technology. Information is shared instantly and electronically between the designer and the factory to enable quick turn-around and "zero defects" in the manufacturing process. Sophisticated computer design programs interface directly with the machines on the factory floor. But when it comes to the people who make up our business, we like it the old-fashioned way: We do not offer franchises, but maintain a close-knit family of associates whose primary goal is to build the best closet at the lowest possible cost. We deal directly with the end customer, and we are more responsive to your needs.
