Do you remember our childhood closet? Besides containing your clothes, it probably included shelves, boxes and bins for toys, school supplies and books. As the years go by, toys are replaced with magazine collections or album covers; school equipment becomes obsolete and book collections are probably large enough their own bookcase. Our lives are not static and our closet spaces need to evolve too.

We might not give it much thought, but a proper storage design can simplify daily life by ensuring that every owned item has its place. Of course, lives are not static, so why should designs be? Fortunately, there are home organization solutions in the Bay Area for every life event.

College

Going away to college is the first major move most people make. Students go from a relatively large closet space at home to a tiny cupboard in their dorm. Tiered coat hangers, hanging door organizers and collapsible storage boxes can help solve the issue of space while finishing school.

First apartment

Moving into your first apartment might offer more storage space but you probably haven’t accumulated that much personal possessions yet. You may have a limited budget which translates into limited belongings to fill that first apartment. Embrace a minimalist design to keep areas from looking like they’re still unfurnished.

Marriage

If you are a newlywed, you may find yourself sharing space with another person for the very first time. While this life event ideally coincides with moving into a new house with more room, that isn’t always the case. Dividers and additional shelving can help split areas in two. A custom closet system by California Space Organizers can make organizing your wardrobe a breeze.

First child

Adding a child to your family is a time of great joy, and a time that needs great organization. You will want to have well-designed and adaptable space in your child’s closet for their ever-changing needs, especially if more siblings are added.

Retirement

This may seem like a big jump from the last life event, and it may very well be the most drastic. Retirement is a time when one can either go big with a full-sized room or scale down to small space for just life’s essentials. California Space Organizers can help in either situation, with custom closets and cabinetry for your retirement cottage or mansion.
