Designed & installed by your local Clozetivity team in North Carolina
Serving Chapel Hill, NC
A well-designed home should work as beautifully as it looks.
Clozetivity of Raleigh-Durham designs and installs custom closets and personalized home storage solutions for homeowners throughout Chapel Hill, North Carolina. From primary walk-in closets and reach-in closets to pantries, mudrooms, laundry rooms, home offices, garages, playrooms, entertainment centers, custom bookcases, wall beds and wine storage, each project is designed around the room and the people who use it.
Chapel Hill homes can present very different storage opportunities. Established homes may have closets with unusual dimensions or layouts created for a different era of home organization. Newer homes may provide generous closet square footage but still rely on basic builder-grade shelving that leaves valuable wall height unused.
Custom storage allows the design to respond to those differences while creating spaces that feel organized, intentional and connected to the rest of the home.

Custom Storage in Chapel Hill, NC
Custom Walk-In Closets
A primary walk-in closet can provide far more than hanging rods and shelving. Custom design can incorporate double-hang and long-hang sections, built-in drawers, adjustable shelving, dedicated shoe storage, handbag and accessory organization, upper storage, cabinetry and individualized sections for shared closets.
The goal is to use the room intentionally so that the storage reflects the wardrobe rather than forcing the wardrobe into a generic configuration.
Reach-In Closets
A smaller footprint makes thoughtful planning even more important. Custom reach-in closets can maximize wall width and vertical space with hanging storage, adjustable shelving, drawers and shoe organization designed around the available room.
Pantries
Custom pantry storage can organize food, small appliances, serving pieces and household essentials around the way the kitchen is actually used. Adjustable shelving and dedicated zones can make items easier to see, reach and maintain.
Mudrooms
Shoes, jackets, bags, backpacks and everyday belongings can quickly create clutter around entry areas. Custom mudroom storage can create dedicated places for those items before they spread into kitchens, hallways and living spaces.
Laundry Rooms
Custom cabinetry and shelving can turn a basic laundry room into a more functional household workspace with organized storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, linens and everyday essentials.
Home Office Systems
Custom home-office storage can combine work surfaces, cabinetry, shelving and concealed organization around the way you work, helping the room feel productive and integrated with the rest of the home.
Garage
Custom garage cabinetry and organization can move tools, equipment, seasonal belongings and household supplies off the floor while creating dedicated storage zones that make the garage easier to use.
Playrooms
Custom playroom storage can create dedicated places for toys, books, games and supplies, making shared family spaces easier to maintain.
Entertainment Centers
Custom entertainment centers and built-ins can combine display space, concealed storage, cabinetry and shelving in a design developed around the dimensions and style of the room.
Custom Bookcases
Custom bookcases can add storage and display space while fitting the proportions and architecture of the room rather than relying on freestanding furniture.
Wall Beds (Murphy Beds)
A custom wall bed can help a home office, guest room or flex space serve more than one purpose while keeping comfortable sleeping accommodations available when needed.
Wine Storage
Custom wine storage can organize and showcase a collection with a design developed around the available space, collection size and presentation goals.
Home Types
Custom Storage Designed for Chapel Hill Homes
Generic storage is designed to work for almost anyone. Custom storage begins with your home, belongings and routine.
The design can account for room dimensions, wall height, wardrobe needs, shoes, accessories, shared closets, household storage and how frequently different belongings need to be accessed. Instead of adding organizers to compensate for a weak layout, the room itself becomes the organization system.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our custom storage solutions, from consultation to installation.
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 of a custom closet depends on the size of the room, layout, materials, cabinetry, drawers, accessories and level of customization. A design consultation allows the space and storage goals to be evaluated before final pricing is provided.
Yes. Custom storage can be developed around narrow walls, unusual corners, ceiling height, smaller footprints and other architectural characteristics that may make standardized organizers difficult to use.
Yes. A shared custom closet can provide different combinations of hanging space, drawers, shelving, shoe storage and accessories for each person based on individual needs.
Yes. Custom storage solutions can be designed for pantries, mudrooms, laundry rooms and other areas in addition to bedroom closets.
The process begins with a design consultation to evaluate the room, identify storage challenges, understand what needs to be stored and determine the homeowner's goals. A personalized design can then be developed around those specific needs.
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.
During your consultation, one of our professional designers will take detailed measurements of your space, evaluate your storage needs, discuss design options, and create a personalized design. They will walk you through the design process and show your space in 3D views and renderings.
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.
Design a custom space tailored to your lifestyle with selected accessories and features - add valet rods, jewelry trays, hampers, soft-close drawers, adjustable shelving, crown molding and more. With endless customization options, your closet can be highly functional and beautifully organized.
All custom projects are made in the United States - depending on your location, most are manufactured and shipped from our factory in North Carolina.
All custom closet projects include a limited manufacturer's warranty for added peace of mind. In addition, many independently owned Clozetivity locations offer a lifetime warranty on your custom closet system for as long as you own your home. Because warranty coverage may vary by location, we recommend confirming the specific details with your local Clozetivity team.

Yes. Better use of vertical space, double-hang sections, adjustable shelving, built-in drawers, shoe storage and upper storage can substantially increase usable organization within the existing footprint.
