Closet Cabinets

Closet Cabinets

Closet cabinets provide homeowners with eye-pleasing storage solutions. In smaller homes, floor space is generally kept to a minimum. By adding closet cabinets to your closet organization design, you eliminate the need for a dresser saving floor space.

The best closet cabinets include heavy-duty shelves where you can store foldable clothing like t-shirts, sweaters and sweatshirts. Add a basket and you have storage for your underwear, lingerie and socks. Best of all, when things are put away, close the door and you have a tidy looking unit within your closet.

What to Look for in Closet Cabinets

The most important feature in a closet cabinet is shelf strength. Many cabinet closet systems use fiberboard shelving. Fiberboard does have a habit of warping when things get too heavy. Look for fiberboard that is able to withstand enough weight. Generally, medium density is good but heavy density is best.

Door hinges shouldn't squeak or seem loose when you purchase your closet cabinet. If you're purchasing a kit you assemble, this won't be a problem. Loose cabinet doors may easily tighten down, but if the pre-assembled closet storage unit has fittings that were the wrong size or screws were too small for the pre-drilled hole, you're bound to run into problems with the door loosening and eventually falling off. If you're concerned over the construction, find a different model.

Always Measure Your Closet First

Check the dimensions of your closet before purchasing a closet cabinet. Make sure you can fit the cabinet closet storage unit through the door opening to your closet. Also make sure the closet organizer isn't too tall or wide for the actual closet space. If you end up with a cabinet too large for your space, you'll end up with less room for clothing rods or shoe racks.

Hanging closet cabinets provide ample space without taking up your floor to ceiling space. With these hanging closet storage components, you install the cabinet where you need. Other closet organization components fit around the closet organizer to create your perfect closet storage solution.

When all else fails and you like the idea of closet cabinets, but can't find components that fit with your closet organizer, look into custom closet doors. These doors attach to wooden closet systems components creating a cabinet. You can use them to hide hampers, shelving or pant racks with ease.
