Designing Your Dream Closet Space With California Closets

When I first moved back to LA 4 years ago, I was basically living out of my 3 suitcases for 2 years. I left my belongings in a storage space in Washington D.C. and sadly, I never went back to claim them which is a whole story on its own. 

Thank you California Closets for sponsoring this post.

I was born in Israel and lived LA since I was 8. I left Los Angeles when I was 23 to live in NYC, Israel, Baltimore, D.C. and Miami. I didn’t come back until I was 28 years old. When I moved back to LA, I still wasn’t sure if I really wanted to make LA my home again. So I lived with one of my good guy friends and after living there for a while, I realized that I just craved my own closet and my own space. So I finally took the plunge and signed up a year lease, which gave me anxiety because I’m such a commitment-phobe. But hey, what do you know, a year became 3 years and here I am now living in Los Angeles for 4 years without realizing it.

Throughout my previous houses around the world, literally the 3 most important things to me in a house were always how the bathroom and kitchen looked and closet space.

How I Organize My Closet Space

Normally when I move to a new place, I always ALWAYS, start with organizing my closet first. Seeing all my things neatly hung up and folded, gives my OCD self, room to breathe. I always broke my closets into different section like most, but the main difference than most people, I always needed different color hangers for different types of clothing categories. I also color code each section in my closet from black to all the colors of rainbow, finishing at white.

Blogger Life & Organization 

As a world traveler, a blogger and a girl, having organization skills in the closet department is HUGE. Of course, it’s huge for any girl, but with me I feel like it’s even more dramatic since I’m always in and out of the country. Again, basically living out of my suitcase but now I have a home base to store all my things.

As a travel blogger, I always need both winter and summer clothes available to me all year long, since I travel to both exotic and freezing destination.

Many of us know that one of the perks of being a blogger is all the free stuff we get while working for brands; whether its clothes, accessories and gear. As a blogger, you also have so much camera gear, from tripods to cameras, selfie sticks, camera accessories, memory sticks, a million plugs and cords, it honestly never ends.

Seeking Professional Help 

Sometimes the origination of it all is a struggle! Especially when you’re always on the go and doing photoshoots. So I finally came to the realization that I need to seek some professional advice on how to organize it all. I do have a walk-in closet but it’s jammed packed and I seriously don’t have enough space for everything. This is just from the things I’ve collected in the last 4 years traveling the world and living in Los Angeles. So I sought for advice from no other than California Closets, the go-to company for utilizing your closet space, storage space and extra space in your house and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

and BTW, since this is LA I live in, know that California Closets has helped design an endless amount of celebrity closets as well!

I made an appointment with California Closets over the phone to visit one of their local showrooms and get a consultation. Ideally, you can go about this 2 different ways, you can make an appointment to have them come to your home, show them your space and have them take measurement so that everything is super accurate or you can meet them in the showroom. I decided for my first visit to meet in the showroom which was located in Studio City, CA. My designer’s name was Melissa George who was super professional, knowledgeable and creative.

Once I arrived, we talked about what I needed and cared for the most, as far as my closet and storage space went. I showed her some photos of my closet, my house floor plan and another empty space I had right next to my closet that I wanted to turn into a storage space. She noticed my closet has a high ceiling and thought it would be great to utilize that space for something. I explained to her that I’d love to also have a storage space to organize my sunglasses, jewelry, hats, swimsuits, shoes and blogger gear. She also showed me a bunch of previous projects they have done to give me more ideas and to inspire the life out of me!

As she took down notes, she gave me a tour around the showroom, giving me a better idea what they do, how they help utilize storage space and I was seriously blown away! I wanted to give my entire house a makeover! They don’t only do closets, they do kitchens, living rooms, garages and more. I got to see all the different types of finishes they had, different colors of woods, leathers and all the colors everything came in.

After getting a better feel for what they do and how they do it, we went back to the design area where Melissa started designing my dream closet and storage spaces. She was truly amazing and talented in a matter how seconds she created a 3D model of my closet and side of closet space. She’s a true artist, it was beautiful and so ideal for my needs! She added all the little things I told her I liked from mirrors, to the type of wood I liked and more. She created a space for my maxi dresses along with regular knee-high dresses since she noticed I had more dresses than anything else. She also added a space for all my winter jackets, seriously you guys, it was perfect! I was SUPER impressed.

Budget

Something many might wonder is if this is affordable. I honestly think it is! For starters, you can get as creative and detailed as you’d like, of course, the more details and things you want the more it will cost but using different types of materials can help you save if you’re on a tight budget. They also have great seasonal promotions and financing options. It’s definitely an investment but so worth it, it makes life so much easier and helps with the stress of finding stuff. I mean, I leave alone but if I had kids/a family and didn’t have my closet situation all figured out to perfection, I’d probably go nuts lol.

I feel like it also gives you such peace to know that everything you own is completely organized and just looks so beautiful and easy to find.

There is no hidden fees. As soon as your designer finishes designing your dream closet or space, the computer system calculates the exact price for you.

Here is a great example of what California Closets does!

I left California Closets feelings super inspired! I could wait to get to my house and looked over my current closet and living situation and how much this will all help my lifestyle. Seriously super inspired!

  1. That’s a good point that sometimes it’s a good idea to have a professional come in to help you design your closet. That way they could help you get the most out of the available space. I’ll have to think about having someone come in to help me design the closets in my new home.
