Frequently Asked Questions

A custom closet system gives more storage in the same space, because sections such as double hang use the height a single rod leaves empty. It is designed around what you own, it keeps items visible and within reach, and it can change later because shelves and rods can be moved. The parts can be combined in a very large number of ways, so the design fits the person and the room.

The main factors are the number of drawers and accessories, the finish, whether the closet is wall mount or floor mount, and whether it has doors. Shelves and hanging cost less than drawers, and a wall mount closet generally costs 15 to 20 percent less than the same design as floor mount. We ask about the budget at the start and design the closet to it.

With us, delivery and installation generally take 2 to 5 weeks from the approved design, depending on the complexity of the project and our workload. Before that, a designer visits the home to measure and prepares a 3D design for the customer to review.

Custom closet panels are most commonly made of melamine. Ours are 3/4 inch melamine with matching edge banding on the exposed edges. Melamine has a hard, sealed surface that is easy to clean and comes in white, colours and woodgrain finishes. Our melamine is CARB2 compliant, meaning it meets the California Air Resources Board Phase 2 limits for formaldehyde emissions.

A custom closet is built from vertical panels, fixed shelves that lock the panels together, adjustable shelves, hanging rods, and drawers. These are combined into sections: double hang, mid hang, long hang, shelving, and shelves with drawers. Accessories such as pull-out racks, baskets and shoe shelves fit the same panels.

A custom closet is a modular storage system of vertical panels, shelves, hanging rods and drawers, designed and built to fit a specific space and wardrobe. A standard closet typically has a single rod and one shelf, so everything hangs at one height and much of the space goes unused. A custom closet divides the same space into sections, each designed for what it will hold.

We generally recommend 14 inches for pantry shelves, the same depth as in a closet. On deeper shelves, items at the back are harder to find and tend to be forgotten. Deeper pantry storage can be built when a design calls for it.

In most walk-in closets, 14 inches is the depth we recommend. Deeper shelves take floor space, which makes the closet harder to move around in, and items at the back become harder to see and reach. Where a design calls for it, one part of the closet can be deeper, such as a hutch with 20 inch deep drawers, while the rest stays at 14 inches.

A 14 inch deep shelf suits shoe storage in most closets. Shoes sit front to back in a single row, and 14 inches fits the majority of shoe sizes without the toe or heel passing the edge. On a 12 inch shelf, many shoes pass over the front.

We generally recommend 14 inches for folded clothes. Sweaters, shirts and jeans fit in a single row with the fold facing forward, so each stack can be seen and lifted out without moving another. On a 12 inch shelf most folded items pass over the front edge, and on a deeper shelf a hidden second row tends to form at the back.

The depth we build most closet shelving to is 14 inches. It holds folded clothes and the majority of shoe sizes in a single visible row, works for hanging as well, and is the depth most closet hardware is made for. A 12 inch depth is generally suitable for hanging only, and 16 inches adds little storage over 14.

Yes. Both are closet systems built from the same panels and parts. The panels follow the 32 mm hole pattern, so shelves and rods can be repositioned in a wall mount closet and in a floor mount closet alike.

Yes. Floor mount and wall mount can be used in the same closet. One common case is a deeper drawer bank, which needs to be floor mount, standing beside wall mount hanging and shelving, so each part of the closet is built the way that suits what it will hold.

Wall mount generally costs 15 to 20 percent less on the same design, looks lighter and more modern, and leaves the floor underneath open for cleaning. Its limit is depth: wall mount closets are built up to 14 inches deep. Floor mount carries heavy storage well because the weight rests on the floor, allows deeper sections, and looks built in. It costs more, and the baseboards are either notched around or removed.

A wall mounted closet hangs from a steel rail fixed to the wall and floats above the floor. A floor mounted closet sits on the floor on a toe kick base, so its weight transfers straight to the floor. Wall mount generally costs 15 to 20 percent less on the same design and is built up to 14 inches deep. Floor mount suits deeper sections and heavy storage, and it gives a built-in look.

A pantry can be either. A walk-in or reach-in pantry behind a door is generally built as a closet system, with panels assembled inside the space and fixed to the walls. A pantry that is part of the kitchen run is a cabinet.

A custom closet system is generally the better choice for enclosed storage: walk-in closets, reach-in closets and pantries, especially where the storage runs wall to wall and a pre-built box would be difficult to bring through the doorway. Custom cabinets are generally the better choice in open rooms, such as kitchens, entertainment units, home offices, living rooms and bedrooms.

The main difference is how the storage is configured. A closet system is divided into sections, and each section is planned separately: double hanging in one, drawers with shelves above in the next, long hanging, shoe shelves or handbag cubbies in others. The panels follow the 32 mm hole pattern, so any section can take any of these parts and the arrangement can be changed later. A cabinet is generally built as a complete box for a set purpose and finished as furniture, which suits open rooms such as kitchens, home offices and living rooms.

In everyday use, a closet is a small room or recess used for storage, and a cabinet is a piece of furniture. In construction terms, a cabinet is a finished box that is placed in a room, while a closet system is built inside the closet from standardized panels and uses the room's own walls.

A cabinet is a complete box with its own sides, top, bottom and back. It is built in a workshop and delivered assembled. A closet system is made of panels that are assembled inside the closet and fixed to the walls. Neighbouring sections share one 3/4 inch partition, there is no back panel because the wall serves as the back, and the panels carry a standard hole pattern for shelves, rods and drawers.

When a reach-in closet is wider than its door opening, the space hidden beside the opening is generally best used for hanging clothes front to back, so the garments face the opening. The unit beside that hanging starts about 30 inches from the side wall and is best dedicated to shelving, drawers or a pant rack, which do not block access to the hanging.

A dead corner is the space between the edge of the door opening and the side wall of the closet, where clothes are hard to see and reach. It occurs when a closet is wider than its door opening, on one side or on both, and its depth varies from closet to closet. The most recommended use of a dead corner is hanging clothes front to back, so the garments face the door opening.

Widening a closet door opening requires renovation work, and in most cases the dead corner can be put to good use through the design of the closet instead. Bypass (sliding) doors are generally not a better option than hinged or bifold doors, because they cover half of the opening at any time and place limits on the closet design.

Clothes on hangers take up 22 to 23 inches of depth, measured from the wall behind the rod. This applies whether the rod runs along the back wall or front to back on a side wall. A further 7 to 8 inches beside front-to-back hanging allows a garment to be taken off the rod comfortably.

Clothes on hangers take up 22 to 23 inches, and a further 7 to 8 inches is needed to reach in and take a garment off the rod. When clothes hang front to back on a side wall, the unit beside them therefore generally starts about 30 inches from that wall. This is a guideline, and the exact distance is adjusted to each closet during design.

The deep sides of a reach-in closet are generally best used for hanging clothes front to back. The rod is installed on the side wall and runs from the back of the closet toward the front, so the garments face the door opening and each one can be seen and removed easily. The unit beside that hanging is best used for shelving, drawers or a pant rack.

No. The bend has a radius of about a foot, so three or four hangers sit in the curve and can't slide past each other; the clothes inside the bend get crushed and the ones outside are out of reach. The corner becomes the place for clothes you never wear. We never install them. Run one wall's rod straight into the corner and leave a 6 to 8 inch gap before the partition on the next wall instead.

The rotating corner unit, which we call a 360 closet spinner, has a 40 by 40 inch footprint and needs clear floor to turn, so it suits a walk-in of about 6 by 6 feet or larger with the corner away from the door. It costs around $4,000 and is best for shoes and handbags. In a smaller closet it blocks the access it is meant to create. There is one to try in our Vancouver showroom.

Give the corner to the hanging on one wall and run that rod all the way in. On the adjacent wall, start the first partition 30 inches out: 22 to 23 inches for the clothes hanging there and a 6 to 8 inch gap you stand in to reach them. The gap also takes a pull-out belt rack, tie rack, valet rod or mirror. Skip curved rods and deep corner shelves; both make the corner harder to use.

Only for bulky things you touch twice a year. A triangular or L-shaped corner shelf ends up about 30 inches deep in the one spot the light doesn't reach, so whatever goes to the back stays there. In our walk-in closets the corner goes to hanging instead, and shelving starts 30 inches out on the adjacent wall where you can see and reach it.

Invisacook, like any appliance, comes with a warranty and support. If a unit fails (which is uncommon, as induction elements have long life spans with no flame or moving parts), a technician would need to access the units under the counter. This might involve removing a panel or accessing through the cabinet. It’s a bit more involved than simply pulling out a freestanding stove, but a trained service person can do it without having to remove your whole countertop. Typically, they can unmount the specific faulty burner unit and replace it. Because Invisacook is modular (each “burner” is a module under the counter, usually connected by wiring to the control), one issue doesn’t necessarily disable the whole system – they could swap out one part. However, serious issues are rare if the unit is used properly. Many times, what might seem like a “fault” could be something simple like a tripped safety feature or an electrical issue, which can be reset. That’s why purchasing through authorized dealers is important – they can provide or direct you to service if needed. Users should not attempt to open or fix the units themselves given the high voltage and complexity. The good news is that induction technology has proven very reliable in both home and commercial kitchens, so with Invisacook you’re benefiting from that robustness. Just keep the documentation and warranty info handy (and maybe the installer’s number), but hopefully you’ll never need a repair for many years.

‍

‍Invisacook’s induction burners are comparable in power to typical conventional cooktops. Induction in general is known for high power output and fast performance. Invisacook units have various power levels; for example, a burner might be rated around 1500-1800 watts on normal and even higher on a “boost” mode (some go 3000+ watts on boost, similar to a high-power burner on a standard range). This means you can absolutely sear a steak, boil large pots of water, stir-fry, you name it – all the heavy-duty tasks. In fact, because induction heats so efficiently, many people find it cooks faster than gas for many tasks. The limitation is not the technology but ensuring you have the right electrical supply and cookware. If you use a 120V two-burner unit, for instance, it will have lower total power available than a full 240V unit – suitable for light cooking or small pots, but perhaps slower for big boiling jobs. However, a full-size Invisacook (240V, multiple burners) can replace a standard stove without missing a beat. Professional chefs have been adopting induction for its speed and precision; Invisacook offers the same capability in a novel form factor. So yes, you can confidently cook daily meals, do meal prep, or host a dinner party using Invisacook. It’s not just a showpiece – it’s a functional cooktop at heart. Just remember to use the right sized burner for the right task (like any cooktop, don’t use the smallest burner for a giant stockpot) and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on power settings.

‍

When installed correctly with the proper materials, the countertop should not crack or get damaged from normal use. Porcelain countertops are extremely heat-resistant (able to handle very high temperatures without issue), and they are also very strong. Granite, if used, is also heat-resistant, though it’s important it doesn’t have existing weaknesses. The key is that the heat exposure is relatively localized and brief, not prolonged direct flame. The countertop will get warm where it touches the hot cookware, but not so hot as to cause thermal shock if the right material is used. The use of InvisaMats also helps buffer rapid temperature changes. During installation, the fabricator or installer will make sure the counter is properly supported and the units are installed flat so there are no pressure points. There have been instances (in early trials, or improper installations) where a sudden temperature change – like someone placing a very hot pan straight from an oven onto a cold quartz countertop – could crack it. But in our context, you’re heating the pan gradually on the counter itself, not moving extreme temps around. As long as you follow guidelines (don’t use disallowed materials, don’t intentionally abuse the surface with say a blowtorch or something wild), the countertop will handle Invisacook cooking just fine for the long term. The technology is designed with these materials in mind. If you notice any hairline cracks or issues, stop use and consult your installer – but such cases are rare when everything is done by the book.

‍

Invisacook is an innovative cooking system that uses hidden induction technology to allow you to cook directly on your countertop. The heating elements are installed underneath the counter surface (usually a durable material like porcelain or stone), turning your countertop itself into the cooking area when you place a pot or pan down. There are no visible burners or coils—when the system is off, your counter looks and functions like any other countertop, giving you an uninterrupted, uncluttered work surface.

How does it work? Invisacook generates electromagnetic fields beneath the counter that heat compatible cookware placed above. In essence, only the cookware gets hot while the surrounding countertop stays cool to the touch. There are no open flames or red-hot electric coils, drastically reducing the risk of accidental burns or fires compared to traditional stoves. What you get is a sleek, invisible cooktop that remains hidden until it’s time to cook.

Invisacook works with any induction-compatible cookware. This generally means pots and pans made of or containing magnetic stainless steel or cast iron. If a magnet sticks strongly to the bottom of your pan, it will work on induction. You do not necessarily have to buy a brand’s proprietary cookware; many standard cookware sets (stainless steel, cast iron, enameled cast iron, etc.) are induction ready. That said, Invisacook does recommend using high-quality, flat-bottomed pans for best performance, and they advise against certain items. Avoid heavy cast-iron pots or pans if possible – while they will heat up, they also retain heat and can radiate a lot of it back into the countertop, potentially causing it to heat up more than desired. Also avoid using induction interface disks (those metal plates to allow non-induction cookware to work) – those create extra heat against the counter and waste energy. The ideal cookware is tri-ply or five-ply stainless steel cookware with an aluminum or copper core for even heating. Many users get great results with reputable brands like All-Clad, Demeyere, or even quality mid-range sets from Cuisinart, T-Fal, etc., as long as they’re induction-capable. Invisacook often provides a silicone mat (InvisaMat) for each burner; you’ll place this mat under your pan when cooking. This accessory is important as it protects the countertop and improves performance by ensuring close contact and minimizing noise So, as long as you have induction-friendly cookware and use the mat, you’re all set – no need for any super special pots beyond that.

It depends on what your existing countertop is made of and its thickness. If you have a suitable material (like a 12mm porcelain slab or certain granite that can be milled down), it might be possible to retrofit Invisacook. The countertop would likely need to be detached so the units can be mounted underneath, and you’d need to thin the material if it’s too thick. Many traditional countertops (like standard 3cm quartz) are not directly compatible. In practice, most Invisacook installations happen as part of a larger kitchen renovation or a new build, where you choose a compatible countertop from the start. If your current counter is incompatible (e.g., quartz or laminate), you would need to replace at least the section of countertop where Invisacook will go. It’s best to consult with an Invisacook dealer or kitchen remodeler to assess your existing setup and advise if a retrofit is feasible. Keep in mind the cost and effort of modifying a countertop might make it more sensible to opt for a new counter that’s designed for use with Invisacook.

The Zoom Wall Bed electronic Murphy Bed is automatic, and easily opened and closed using a wireless remote.

- A Zoom Wall Bed electronic Murphy Bed does not fold down. Instead, it "snakes" up and down the rear of a 2' deep cabinet, much like a reverse garage door. This allows for a 9" deep front panel, on which you can install a flat screen TV, adjustable shelves, a china cabinet with doors, or anything else you can think of (a dart board, perhaps?). The point is, the space in front of the cabinet is not wasted.

- No one knows it's there. Until you press the button, all you see is beautiful cabinetry built for the specific design solution (home entertainment center, home office, china cabinet) you have created. No one asks about the big blank space against the wall that's the telltale sign of other hide-away beds. Press the button, and Zoom Wall Bed floats into the room. Watch the expression on the faces of your friends and relatives, and expect to hear the word "Wow!" often.

- Zoom Wall Bed uses a special foam mattress on top of an adjustable beech wood slatted frame. Slatted frames are the standard for 95% of all beds in Europe. Simply stated, Zoom Wall Bed feels like a luxurious bed, much like the one you probably have in your master bedroom. It is more comfortable than a Murphy bed, which has neither box springs nor, normally, a slatted frame, and since it’s adjustable, you can fine tune the firmness of the mattress.

Make sure the included battery is installed in the remote, and that the carriage system is unobstructed.

• To open your Zoom Wall Bed: Press and hold the down arrow in the remote. Lift your finger when the bed is fully extended.
• To close your Zoom Wall Bed: Press and hold the up arrow in the remote. Lift you finger when the bed is fully closed.

Once the top of the bed reaches the top of the cabinet, or the Footboard has fully closed, stop pressing the button. Continuing to hold the button once the bed is fully extended or retracted may damage the unit.

•  To operate the child safety lock: Press the round button on the remote twice and hold (on the second press) to activate the Child Safety Lock. You will notice the LED light on the remote will blink a few times, then turn off. Once the LED is off, you may let go of the round button and the bed will be locked.  To deactivate the feature, simply follow the steps again.

For small bedrooms, the best storage cabinets are tall, slim units that maximize vertical space. Opt for wall-mounted or floating cabinets to free up floor space. Modular storage systems that can be customized to your specific needs and built-ins designed for tight corners or awkward spaces are highly efficient. Choose cabinets with mirrored doors to make the space feel larger and multifunctional pieces like beds with built-in storage to minimize the need for additional furniture.

The latest trends in bedroom storage cabinet designs include minimalist aesthetics with clean lines and neutral colors, the use of sustainable and high-quality materials, built-in lighting features, smart storage solutions with customized compartments, and multi-functional furniture that doubles as storage. Additionally, there is a focus on technology integration, such as built-in charging stations, and the incorporation of soft-close hinges and drawer slides for a luxurious feel.

Built-in storage cabinets in a bedroom are necessary when you need to efficiently utilize available space, especially in smaller rooms. They are ideal for creating a streamlined look, reducing clutter, and integrating seamlessly with the room's design. Consider built-ins for maximizing storage around existing features like windows or in awkward spaces where standard furniture won't fit. They also offer a custom solution to accommodate specific storage needs, such as large collections of items or specialized wardrobe requirements.

To maximize space with bedroom storage cabinets, focus on custom designs tailored to your room's dimensions and your storage needs. Opt for vertical cabinetry to use wall space effectively. Consider built-in units around the bed for a seamless look and additional storage. You may consider choosing sliding doors to save space and multi-functional furniture, like a storage bed or ottoman. Utilize corner spaces with custom corner units. Integrate accessories like pull-out shelves and racks to organize items inside the cabinets efficiently.

‍

Bedroom storage cabinets are custom cabinetry solutions that provide stylish and practical storage options, helping to keep bedrooms clutter-free and peaceful. They are designed to maximize space in your bedroom, replacing multiple dressers and undersized bedside tables with built-ins that fit your style and storage needs. These can include bed surround storage with glass doors for display, wide night tables for more generous space, and heat deflectors for cabinets placed over heating vents. They are tailored for function and style, enhancing the look and utility of the bedroom space.

At Clever Quarters, the cost of a built-in entertainment center can vary widely based on several factors, customized to meet your specific needs and preferences. While it's challenging to provide a precise figure without specific details, here are the key factors that influence the cost:

‍

1. Size and Complexity: The overall dimensions and the complexity of the design play a significant role. Larger units or those with intricate designs and features will naturally be more expensive.
2. Materials Used: The choice of materials impacts the price. Options range from high-end finishes to more budget-friendly alternatives. The material selection will affect both the appearance and the cost.
3. Customization Level: The degree of customization required can affect the price. Unique designs, custom finishes, and specialized features tailored to your specific requirements may increase the cost.
4. Storage and Shelving Options: The number and type of storage options (like drawers, cabinets, adjustable shelving) also factor into the price. More complex storage solutions will increase the cost.
5. Technology Integration: Incorporating elements such as built-in lighting, cable management systems, or specialized compartments for audio-visual equipment can add to the cost.

‍

As a general ballpark, a basic built-in entertainment center can start from a few thousand dollars and can go significantly higher based on the above factors. For a more accurate estimate, we at Clever Quarters recommend a free design consultation where we can understand your needs and provide a tailored quote based on your design preferences, material choices, and specific room requirements.

We often encounter questions about the distinctions between an entertainment center and a TV stand. Understanding these differences is crucial for homeowners looking to make informed decisions about their home furnishings.

‍

1. Design and Functionality: Entertainment centers are comprehensive units offering extensive storage and display options, suitable for housing a TV, media components, and more. TV stands are more compact, primarily designed to support the TV with limited additional storage.
2. Size and Space Requirements: Entertainment centers are larger, ideal for spacious rooms and often serving as a focal point. TV stands fit well in smaller spaces due to their smaller footprint.
3. Aesthetic Impact: An entertainment center significantly influences the room's decor, while a TV stand is more functional with less impact on overall room aesthetics.
4. Customization and Storage Capacity: Entertainment centers offer greater customization and extensive storage options at Clever Quarters. TV stands, though varied in style, have less flexibility and limited storage.
5. Investment and Longevity: Entertainment centers are a larger investment, designed for longevity and permanence in a home, while TV stands are generally more budget-friendly and less permanent.

‍

In essence, the choice between an entertainment center and a TV stand at Clever Quarters depends on your room size, storage needs, and design preferences, ensuring a perfect match for your home's style and functionality.

At Clever Quarters, we understand the unique challenges of designing storage for shared kids' rooms. Here is what we consider on top of our space-saving storage solutions:

‍

• Symmetrical Layouts: We design symmetrical storage solutions where each child has an identical setup. This includes matching wardrobes, desks, or shelving units, ensuring fairness and balance in the shared space.
• Divided Storage Systems: Our custom units feature clearly divided sections or compartments. This approach assigns each child their own designated storage area, which helps in maintaining individual space and reducing conflicts.
• Shared Desk Solutions: For study and craft activities, we create long shared desks with individual storage sections. This design accommodates multiple children at once while respecting each child's personal space.
• Color-Coded Organization: To help distinguish each child's belongings, we design for color-coded drawers, bins, or shelves. This system not only adds a playful element to the room but also aids in teaching organizational skills.
• Loft Beds with Individual Storage: Loft beds are an excellent way to maximize floor space. We design these with integrated personal storage solutions beneath each bed, such as individual desks, shelves, or drawers.
• Modular Storage Cubes: These cubes can be arranged and rearranged to suit the evolving needs of each child. They provide flexible storage options for toys, books, and clothes, adaptable to each child’s changing preferences.
• Custom Closet Organizers: In shared closets, we design multi-level organizers with designated sections for each child. This approach maximizes closet space while keeping each child’s clothing and accessories separate and orderly.
• Personalized Storage Areas: We believe in adding a personal touch to each child's storage space within the shared room, like personalized name labels or themed drawer pulls, making it feel unique and individually customized.

• Multi-Purpose Furniture Designs: Emphasizing space efficiency, we craft furniture with dual functions, such as beds with fold-down desks, perfect for compact bedrooms.
• Vertical Space Optimization: Utilizing vertical space is key in small rooms. We design wall-mounted shelves and cabinets above desks, offering ample storage while freeing up floor space for study areas.
• Custom Corner Desks: Corners, often underused, are ideal for custom desks. Our corner desk designs seamlessly fit into small spaces, providing a practical and space-saving study solution.
• Integrated Built-In Desks: We create built-in desks that span room walls, combining with storage units like bookshelves or drawers. This integrated approach maximizes space efficiency and organization.
• Minimalist Desk Designs: In small bedrooms, minimalist desk designs help maintain a sense of openness. Our sleek, clutter-free desk styles contribute to a more spacious and inviting study environment.
• Innovative Storage Solutions: We incorporate smart storage solutions such as floating shelves and pull-out drawers, ensuring a well-organized and functional study space.
• Adjustable Lighting Solutions: Adequate lighting is crucial. Our designs include flexible lighting options like desk lamps and under-shelf lights, essential for a well-lit study area without consuming desk space.

Here are some expert tips to transform your tiny treasure trove into a haven of organized fun:

Think Big, Go Up:

• Verticality is your friend: Utilize every inch of wall space with custom-designed cabinets, floating shelves, and pegboards. We can create floor-to-ceiling solutions that hold an astounding amount of toys and craft supplies, keeping them easily accessible for little hands.
• Think cubbies, not closets: Deep shelves can swallow toys whole, making retrieval a treasure hunt. Opt for open or divided cubbies that offer clear visibility and encourage organization. We can customize the size and configuration to fit your specific needs and toys.

‍

Optimize Every Nook:

• Turn awkward corners into storage havens: We can design corner shelves that fit snugly, reclaiming every inch of wasted space. Use them for bulky items like stuffed animals or board games.
• Under the stairs, a world of potential: Don't let that precious space under the stairs go to waste! We can craft drawers, pull-out shelves, or even a cozy reading nook that utilizes this often-forgotten area.

‍

Smart Solutions for Little Helpers:

• Lower shelves for easy access: Let your little ones be part of the fun! Designate bottom shelves or drawers for their favorite toys, empowering them to put things away and foster independence.
• Labeling makes magic: Clear labels on shelves and bins encourage organization and make clean-up a breeze. We can even incorporate playful designs or color-coding systems to make it even more engaging.

‍

Clever Design to the Rescue:

• Multifunctional furniture: Opt for cabinets that double as play surfaces, desks, or benches. We can design clever solutions that fold away or transform, maximizing space and minimizing clutter.
• Hidden storage secrets: Let toys magically disappear! We can create pull-out shelves or compartments behind doors that keep messy playthings out of sight while maintaining easy access.

‍

Remember, Clever Quarters is your partner in playroom storage! We offer free consultations where we can assess your space, understand your needs, and design a custom solution that's as playful as it is practical.

5. Adjustable Elements: Incorporating adjustable shelves and removable bins helps the storage system adapt to various toy sizes and types, increasing its longevity and reducing the need for future modifications.
6. Optimized Layout: By carefully planning the layout, we maximize storage efficiency, ensuring that every inch of space is used effectively. This reduces the need for additional storage units, keeping costs down.
7. Prioritization of Features: We work with clients to prioritize essential features over luxury add-ons, focusing on what’s most important for their children’s storage needs.

At Clever Quarters, as experts in custom home office design, we recommend several strategies to modernize your home office:

‍

• Space Optimization: Utilize your space efficiently, especially if it's limited. Opt for minimalist designs that avoid clutter. Consider space-saving solutions like wall-mounted desks or multi-functional furniture. This approach maximizes floor space while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
• Ergonomic Furniture: Prioritize ergonomic furniture for comfort and productivity. Adjustable desks and chairs tailored to your posture and work habits are essential. This not only enhances comfort but also adds a contemporary touch to your office.
• Technology Integration: Modern offices require advanced technological solutions. Ensure your office has ample space for your devices, with smart solutions for cable management. Consider built-in or hidden compartments for printers and other peripherals to maintain a sleek look.
• Lighting: A modern office should have excellent lighting. Combine natural light with artificial sources to create a layered lighting effect. Consider adjustable and ambient lighting to set the right mood and reduce eye strain.
• Color Scheme: Implement a color scheme that reflects a modern vibe. Neutral tones with pops of color can create a balanced and productive atmosphere. Use color psychology to choose hues that enhance focus and creativity.
• Personalization: Add personal touches to your office. This could be through artwork, plants, or decorative items that reflect your personal style. Personalization makes the space inviting and inspiring.
• Functional Layout: Consider the layout of your office. An L-shaped or U-shaped desk might be ideal for multitasking, while a straightforward rectangular desk could suffice for more focused tasks. The layout should cater to your specific work needs and flow.
• High-Quality Materials: Use high-quality, durable materials that reflect modern trends. This could include glass elements, metal finishes, or sustainably sourced wood. Quality materials not only look good but also ensure the longevity of your furniture.
• Smart Storage Solutions: Modern offices need smart storage solutions. Custom cabinetry or shelving can keep your office organized and free of clutter, which is key in a modern design.
• Flexibility: The modern home office should be adaptable to changing needs. This could mean modular furniture or a layout that can be easily reconfigured.

Custom home office systems vary in price based on design, materials, countertops, and door styles:

‍

• Design: The complexity of the design, from large desks with multiple drawers to simple nooks, significantly impacts the cost. More cabinetry and storage features typically increase the price.
• Materials: The materials range from affordable paint-grade options to more expensive real wood veneers. Laminates fall in between these two in terms of cost.
• Countertops: Melamine and laminate tops are economical and durable, suitable for work surfaces. Granite, Corian and other stones are pricier options, adding a luxurious touch to the office.
• Door Styles: Flat slab doors are the least expensive. Prices rise for laminate and thermofoil, especially in detailed styles like raised panel or shaker.

‍

A small desk nook could be around $1,500-$2,000, a moderate office with ample storage at $4,500-$6,000, and high-end finishes and detailed cabinetry potentially exceeding $8,000, up to $15,000 or more.

At Clever Quarters, we approach the design of a home office for two with a focus on creating a space that is both functional and harmonious for each individual. Here's how we would approach this design challenge:

‍

• Understanding Individual Work Styles: We start by understanding the work habits, preferences, and needs of both individuals using the space. This helps in customizing the design to cater to different types of work and storage requirements.
• Efficient Space Utilization: We focus on maximizing the available space. This involves thoughtful planning of the layout to ensure that both individuals have ample room to work without interference, even in limited spaces.
• Personal Work Zones: We create individual work zones to give each person their own dedicated space. This might involve strategic placement of desks, use of partitions, or different storage solutions for each area.
• Shared and Collaborative Spaces: For moments of collaboration or joint discussions, we incorporate elements that facilitate teamwork, such as a shared whiteboard or a meeting area within the office space.
