Custom Closets & Home Storage Solutions in Cook County, IL

Most custom closet installations are completed within 1-2 days. Installation timelines vary based on the size and complexity of your custom project. For example, a reach-in closet can often be installed in half a day, while a standard walk-in closet may take one to two days. Multiple closets or larger closets with extensive cabinetry and specialty features may require three to four days for completion.

Most Murphy beds are designed for standard Innerspring or Memory Foam mattresses up to 11 or 12 inches thick. You do not need a special "foldable" mattress, but you should avoid ultra-heavy hybrid mattresses that might exceed the weight limit of the lift mechanism's tension settings.

We offer a complimentary in-home consultation with no obligation. This allows you to explore design ideas and pricing before making any decisions.

It depends on your goal. A decorative wine wall in a dining room is perfect for bottles intended for short-term consumption. However, if you are aging fine wine, you must install a climate-controlled wine wall with an integrated cooling unit, vapor barrier, and insulated glass to maintain consistent humidity.

Label-forward racking uses metal pegs or rails to display the bottle horizontally. This is the preferred choice for modern wine walls because it allows you to identify bottles instantly without disturbing them, and it ensures the cork remains moist to prevent oxidation.

Scoop-front wooden drawers are best for heavy cans and glass jars as they provide superior stability. Wire or mesh pull-out baskets are ideal for "breathable" items like onions, potatoes, and bagged snacks, allowing you to see contents at a glance from below.

Modern Murphy beds use piston-lift or spring-loaded mechanisms that make the bed nearly weightless during operation. When properly anchored to wall studs, they are incredibly secure and cannot "snap shut" while someone is on them. They are a safe, durable solution for guest rooms or studio apartments.

Absolutely, you can choose from over 30 color and finish options for your custom project ranging from solids to wood grains. We have a variety of door and drawer styles that you can choose from which your designer can show you during your consultation.

Many of our independently owned and operated Clozetivity locations offer closet tear-out and painting services as part of the overall project. This can include removing existing wire shelving, outdated closet systems, or damaged materials, as well as preparing the space for your new custom closet.

Because each Clozetivity location is independently owned, available services vary by area. We recommend contacting your local Clozetivity team and they will be happy to assist you and coordinate your custom closet project from start to finish.

We use furniture grade 3/4″ thick thermally fused laminate (Melamine) material with all exposed edges - edge banded. Unlike others who use thinner materials that are more likely to bend, sag and distort their shape over time, our systems are built to last.

Our drawer boxes are constructed from high-quality Baltic Birch with dovetail joints. We include high-end, undermount drawer slides with soft close as our standard drawer option. Sidemount slides are also available. Your designer can discuss other options that are available to fit your needs and budget.

The cost depends on the size of the space, layout, materials, cabinetry, drawers, accessories and level of customization. A design consultation allows the room and storage needs to be evaluated before final pricing is provided.

Yes. Custom storage can be designed around narrow walls, unusual corners, ceiling height, smaller footprints and other architectural characteristics that may make standardized organizers difficult to use.

Yes. Custom storage can be designed for large primary walk-in closets, smaller reach-in closets and other closet configurations.

No. Custom storage solutions can also be designed for pantries, mudrooms, laundry rooms, home offices, garages, playrooms, entertainment centers, custom bookcases, wall beds and wine storage.

The process begins with a design consultation to evaluate the room, discuss storage challenges, understand what needs to be stored and develop a personalized layout around the homeowner's goals.

Custom garage cabinets are constructed from industrial-grade thermally fused laminate (TFL) or powder-coated wood, which resists warping, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Unlike DIY plastic units, custom cabinets are bolted to wall studs to prevent tipping and feature a 100lb+ load capacity per shelf.

The cost of a custom closet typically ranges from $2,000 to $7,000+, depending on size, materials, and accessories. A reach-in closet usually falls on the lower end, while luxury walk-in closets with center islands and premium finishes can exceed $10,000. Investing in custom storage typically offers a 100% ROI at home resale.

For maximum visibility, the ideal pantry shelf depth is 12 to 16 inches. Deeper shelves often lead to "lost" items at the back. For bulkier items or small appliances, 18-inch deep pull-out drawers are recommended to ensure everything remains accessible without reaching.

Floor-mounted systems offer a built-in, "furniture" look and can support more weight, making them ideal for heavy wardrobes. Wall-hung systems are suspended from a steel rail, leaving the floor clear for easy cleaning and a more modern, airy aesthetic. Both are durable, but floor-mount is generally preferred for high-end primary suites.

Our team is committed to making your installation experience smooth, efficient, and completely stress-free. From careful preparation and clear communication to professional craftsmanship and thorough clean up, we handle every detail so you can simply enjoy watching your new custom closet come to life.

Yes. Mounting cabinets 6 to 12 inches off the floor (either via wall-hanging or heavy-duty legs) protects the cabinetry from water damage, pests, and road salt. It also allows you to easily hose down or sweep the garage floor without moving heavy storage units.

From consultation to installation, the process typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on design revisions, material selections, and production schedule. We will provide you with a clear timeline during your consultation.

All custom closet projects include a limited manufacturer's warranty for added peace of mind.
