1. Masterful Shelves: Optimizing Space with Custom Designs
Built-in shelves are champions of space utilization. Picture a sleek bookcase hugging your wall, offering ample room for books, décor, or neatly folded garments. Clever Quarters takes it a step further, crafting custom shelving units tailored to your specific needs. Consider:

2. Vertical Magic: Hanging Solutions for a Transformed Closet
Hanging sections are wardrobe heroes, maximizing vertical space and streamlining your mornings. Clever Quarters takes your hanging game to the next level:
- Visibility vs. Concealment: Open hanging for easy outfit planning or discreetly tucked-away sections for a minimalist vibe? We've got you covered.
- Protection Needs: Delicate silks need breathable storage. Our experts consider garment sensitivity and recommend the perfect solutions.
- Layout Considerations: Double rods, pull-down hangers, corner units – Clever Quarters utilizes every inch of your closet layout to maximize hanging potential.
3. Island Oasis: Enhanced Storage and Style
For walk-in closets, an island adds both functionality and flair. Imagine a countertop for showcasing accessories or jewelry, while drawers beneath hide away essentials. Clever Quarters unlocks the island's potential:
- Drawer Optimization: Folding techniques, compartmentalization, and custom sizing – our experts ensure every drawer works for you, from socks to sweaters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove the existing shelving before my custom closet installation date?
Yes, we recommend that you remove your wire racking before the installation date. This gives you the opportunity to repair and paint your walls, creating a fresh canvas for your new custom closet. If you prefer, we can also handle the removal of your existing closet system for you. In this case, we will patch any holes that result from removing the existing shelving, but please note that we won't be able to paint the walls for you. Removal and disposal of the existing shelving will cost extra.
Why is a 14-inch depth considered the most suitable for custom closets?
A 14-inch depth is considered ideal for custom closets as it strikes the perfect balance between maximizing storage space and maintaining accessibility. This depth accommodates a wide range of items, including folded clothes, accessories, and shoes, while ensuring that everything is visible and within reach. Additionally, a 14-inch depth is versatile, allowing for efficient use of space in closets of various sizes, and it helps in maintaining a sleek and uncluttered appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your custom closet.
While we typically offer several common depths for our custom closets, such as 12”, 14”, 16”, 20”, and 24”, we have the flexibility to design our closets to accommodate your unique design requirements.
Can my closet be easily reconfigured as my needs change?
Flexibility is key in our designs. Clever Quarters creates closets with adjustable and modular components, planning for future adaptability. Our local team, with our advanced manufacturing capabilities, is always available to assist with reconfigurations, ensuring your closet evolves with your needs.
What materials and finishes are available for custom closets?
At Clever Quarters, we are committed to sustainability and quality in equal measure. Our furniture grade melamine are crafted from laminated composite materials, which are composed of recycled wood fibers. This eco-conscious approach not only diverts material from the waste stream but also avoids the use of raw resources, unlike solid wood.
All of our finishes meet the stringent CARB compliance standards, ensuring they are environmentally safe and have low emissions. The lamination process further allows us to offer a diverse range of finishes and textures, providing options that extend beyond what solid wood can offer. By choosing Clever Quarters, you are choosing a product that is as kind to the environment as it is beautiful and durable in your home.
What solutions do you offer for accessibility and special needs in a custom closet?
Clever Quarters offers adjustable components, ergonomic design, and specialized accessories like pull-down hangers. Our Design Consultants can work with healthcare professionals ensuring a functional and beautiful space for everyone in your household.
