Design Dilemma Storage & Closet Bedroom

closet built ins

4 years ago

Hi everyone! I am starting the planning phase of adding a built in closet to my master bedroom in a very similar style as shown in this photo but I am clueless where to get doors like these. Does anyone know if this is a specific style or if there is a name for these? Thanks!!!

Custom doors from a cabinet maker. In fact the total built in is from a cabinet maker since the doors and drawers are inset.

Many closet type companies can do this type of work. We used Stor-X for our master closet, mud room, laundry room, and have a quote for office built ins. Where we live they are a company similar to California Closets but at a more cost effective price point

Forutnately I didn't have to murder anyone this morning or spike my coffee with vodka. My builder took one look at the crown molding that was delivered and agreed wholeheartedly that the supplier screwed up. The supplier showed up about 15 minutes later and took the blame like a big boy and owned up to not matching the sample of the crown I provided with what was delivered to their warehouse - they just brought it out ASSumming it was the same profile. Minor blip but frustrating when the trim crew was supposed to be finishing up today! My builder really is pretty awesome - when the framer charged us a higher per sq. foot rate than we were led to believe he was charging, my GC stepped up and ate the difference of about $3,000. We didn't even get a chance to ask or complain - Mo just said that the framer charged us more per sq/ft than we had budgeted and he thought it was only fair that he cover that difference since I had been asking for clarification on the costs from the start. He ate the cost of our roof repair where the masons put holes all around the chimney to the tune of about $1000 without us asking, too.

Throughout the years as we have worked on the house, we have been very cautious and done everything possible to do sensitive renovations that fit the period of the house. I too hate to see lovely old houses where people have butchered them. In fact, last night as I was once again watching "Flip or Flop" on HGTV I thought to myself how sad that they are coming in and just rearing down all of those great lathe and plaster walls. We have three kids, and our "illegal" bedroom worked as a bedroom for one of them for ten years. We just stuck a wardrobe in one corner, so we know all about using a space that isn't technically a bedroom as a bedroom. Now it makes a great office, something else that I would think might be desirable to a lot of people. We know for certain that in our neighborhood a master bath would be a huge selling point. In fact, about five years ago, a Realtor told us that this is the only thing our house is lacking. I am starting to think that there is just not enough space in the existing footprint to justify doing this. We know that many people do want move-in ready which would make doing this a selling point. However, amazingly enough, in our highly desirable neighborhood many people do buy these expensive houses and then come in and make extensive renovations like additions. We always ask ourselves where in the world do they get the money to make a purchase that expensive and then immediately also sink a ton of money in the house. Thanks for all of the help.

what to do with closet built-in

I've been looking at a lot of houses recently and I don't look too closely at people's walk-in closet. I just glanced to judge the size. As long as the closet is not stuffed so much that I can't see wall, ceiling and floor, I was ok with seeing people's belonging. But that's just me. When we put our house up for sale, we got a small storage unit and brought anything that we don't plan to use immediately into the storage unit. You just move into the house, how long do you plan to stay since you are worried about how would it look to the future buyers already? If you don't plan to stay too long, would you get that $450 back? If you plan to stay long and the sights of sheets and towels bother you then do what you like.

I like a mix I saw a walk-in closet first time in my life when I first came to the States. I thought it's kinda neat)) When my late Grandma did her first and last remodel, in the eighties, she "borrowed" space between two rooms (we had three altogether, and it didn't go by bedrooms like here)-and that's how we had two big, not walk in but still quite big closets. That was neat too. It was a nicely sized apartment but we were six people there. Everything was very organized..had to be. But we had lots of free standing pieces..say my and my brother's clothes all except for coats went in a small wardrobe, and the wardrobe wasn't in our room, but in a different, bigger room, where Grandma and Grandpa slept. Books, we had in every room. We have a lots of books now too-but to be honest, it's but a small percentage of what we used to have when I was a little girl. One can't compare. In short, I still find the concept of built in closet pretty neat)) But I love free standing pieces too, a lot. I think the right mix gives one function, form, flexibility and beauty. So I go by that. Except for the garage..that's my DH's kingdom..and he abhores the thought of ruling there too..:) but doesn't want anybody's help as much as I beg. He thinks closets help, shelves help, this or that surface will help..no, nothing will help..I will help if you let me:) The concept is important, but it can't be fully functionable and enjoyable without people handling it, you know.

Custom doors any door maker can do or just get plain unpainted doors and ask your cabinet maker to add the trim. I actually love Pax from Ikea the storage is awesome but does lean to a more contemporary style I did have a client where we had the cabinet maker design a built in to very exact storage needs and it is beautiful , not cheap, but beautiful. So make sure what you have can be stored properly function first .

As others have posted, this would be a very easy thing for a woodworker to accomplish

I recently finished a remodel and all of my cabinets and doors have this kind of detail. It's just applied to whatever plain door you select. It is less expensive than purchasing the style from the door store or cabinet store.

For example, if I had purchased doors with molding and Lamina from the door store the cost would have been much more than purchasing a plain wood door and having a local tradesperson replace the wood middle section with Lamina and then apply molding in the style of my choice. My design is geometric but one could have any design done using the same construction techniques.

Bedroom door with Lamina and applied "moldings"

Not identical but these are all "moldings" applied to the plain wood and glass. They could have been any design including the curved that you posted.
