Thinking about upgrading your closet? You should be. A custom closet isn’t just a luxury—it’s a functional, value-boosting upgrade that transforms daily chaos into calm. In the spirit of Scott McGillivray’s data-smart, value-first design philosophy, here are the most common questions (and persuasive reasons) why now is the time to invest.


Q: Are custom closets really worth the money?

A: Absolutely. Not only do they make your daily life easier and more organized, but they’re one of the highest-ROI upgrades.

  • According to real estate data, well-designed closet systems can yield a return of up to 60-80%.

  • They boost perceived square footage and home appeal—critical during resale.

Scott’s Perspective: Function and value aren’t mutually exclusive. This is one upgrade that does both.


Q: Can a custom closet really change how I use the space?

A: Yes. The difference is night and day.

Custom closets are designed to fit your wardrobe, habits, and home—not the other way around. With thoughtful zones for shoes, jewelry, suits, or seasonal wear, you’ll:

  • Save time getting dressed

  • Maximize storage

  • Actually enjoy walking into your closet

Bonus: You may even rediscover clothes you forgot you owned.


Q: What if I don’t have a walk-in?

A: No problem. Custom closets aren’t just for big, glamorous spaces.

Reach-in closets, linen closets, mudroom cubbies, or utility areas—they can all be transformed into high-function storage systems with:

  • Pull-out hampers

  • Adjustable shelving

  • Sliding baskets and smart drawers

Design Insight: It’s not the size that matters—it’s the system.


Q: How customizable are these, really?

A: Incredibly. Choose from:

  • Multiple finishes (woodgrain, matte white, rich espresso)

  • Hardware options (brushed gold, matte black, classic chrome)

  • Storage types (hanging rods, shoe racks, velvet-lined drawers, accessory trays)

Pro Tip: Add LED lighting for that boutique-style polish and convenience.


Q: Will it disrupt my home life during installation?

A: Installation is typically quick and low-disruption. Most systems are modular and can be installed in just a day or two.

You get all the function and beauty without weeks of dust and delays.


Final Thoughts

A custom closet is more than a home upgrade—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. It creates order, adds value, and gives you a more efficient, enjoyable way to start and end your day.

Scott McGillivray would agree: Investing in smart, personal storage isn’t just stylish—it’s strategic.
