Being in the military, I have bought and sold 7 houses, but Martin would “hands down” win the award for providing the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE amongst all the REALTORS® that I have worked with. He was RESPECTFUL and truly RESPONSIVE to all our questions/concerns and addressed each one with equal importance. He had the house cleaned, staged furniture, painted two rooms, provided lawn care maintenance, performed minor interior maintenance, and marketed a professionally crafted video. He held an open house the first weekend after posting to the MLS ,and the house was sold in 3 days!

If there’s one place you frequent in your home, it’s your closet. It houses lifelong memories and prized possessions, creating a need for balanced organization. Master closet designers all over the globe spend their time helping clients with just that: crafting the perfect arrangements for the most elegant of wardrobes.

Family-business owner Andy Popkin leads Inspired Closets in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. After working primarily in carpentry, Popkin and his wife, Amy, bought a home in Bucks County that needed organizational renovations — there, they both discovered a love for building masterful closet spaces.

They start with in-home consultations and discussions to prepare, well before the installment begins. After finalizing a plan to ensure that everything has a place, Popkin and team use a 360-degree-view design software to show clients a mockup of their upcoming space.

COME HERE OFTEN? Closet Design for Everyday Luxury 24

Another closet-creating brand, Casa Design Group, works with their manufacturing partner, Molteni & C, to create sophisticated closets in the Boston area and beyond. The company began as an Italian-design furniture showroom, and expanded over the years as they discovered their clients’ consistent needs for high-quality closets.

Both teams highlight features that they value in every closet, and actually note the same factor as the most crucial: lighting. “If you can’t see it, you likely can’t find it,” Popkin says. “We want clients to enter their closet space and feel relaxed by what they see.”

https://blog.coldwellbankerluxury.com/come-here-often-closet-design

Mixed with the lighting, catering to the specific vision of the client is paramount.

“There is no better feeling than seeing a closet beautifully designed and executed just for you, every morning,” says Molteni & C custom closets expert and designer Elydia Riley. Many of their clients enjoy utilizing specified dimmable lighting for their closets, to accommodate for any mood or time of day.

Ultimately, Popkin and Riley want homeowners to value the closet as a high-priority space, and as a tie-in to their personal style.

“Your closet is where your day begins and ends,” Riley adds. “I truly believe that a beautiful, well-organized closet that is designed specifically for your own lifestyle is imperative to daily life.”

There are plenty of options when it comes to customizing this space in the home — function and ease are the first priority, Popkin and Riley note. But most of all, both companies stress the importance of showcasing every client’s personality within this space.

“Closets are among the most desired features for home buyers,” Popkin notes. “Maybe it’s a lighted display of shoes, or pictures of their family on top of the built-in dresser, or a center island with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.”

More and more homeowners are converting bedrooms or other rooms into closets — space is a premium and clients want to make the most of it.

Molteni & C came up with a specific solution for this issue, titled the Sistema 7. Created as a freestanding closet with hidden doors that fold on top of the adjacent cabinets, “this gives you an entire walk-in closet space without bulky doors, walls, or openings, allowing you to maximize every inch of space,” Riley notes.

SIMPLE HOLIDAY STORAGE TIPS TO

Make Your Life Easier

Give your future self a gift by properly storing all those beautiful holiday decorations away this year! Correctly organizing and packing your holiday ornaments, lights and other decor can save you time, money and frustration when it’s time to take them out again. Here are five practical storage tips to keep your holiday decorations safe and in good condition.

Sorting AND Organizing Before you even start, take the time to coordinate your decorations.

Group similar items together, such as ornaments, lights and garlands, to make it easier to find and unpack specific pieces next year. Label your storage bins or boxes for each category of decorations. Clear plastic containers are ideal, allowing you to quickly see the contents without even opening them.

PROPERLY PACKING Delicate Items Glass and other breakable ornaments require special care to prevent damage. Use individual compartments, such as egg cartons or a specialty ornament storage container, to keep pieces separate and protected. Wrap fragile ornaments in tissue paper or bubble wrap before placing them in their designated spots. Also, think about placing extra-fragile ones in their own sturdy box or container within your larger storage bin to further protect them. This added layer will help prevent any accidental breaks.

42

Untangling AND Storing Lights Tangled lights can be one of the most frustrating parts of holiday decorating. So, before putting them away, untangle your lights and inspect them for any damaged or broken bulbs. Replace any non-functioning bulbs to ensure everything is ready to use next year. You might want to use a spool or cord reel to tame any tangles. Alternatively, you can wrap lights around cardboard or even a hanger, securing the ends with zip or twist ties.

PROTECTING Wreaths AND Garlands To keep faux foliage in good condition, store pieces in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew growth. Think about investing in a specially designed wreath storage container or use wall hooks to hang them in a closet or storage area. For garlands, wrap them securely in tissue paper or plastic wrap to prevent them from tangling or getting damaged during storage.

UTILIZING SpaceSaving Solutions Make the most of your holiday storage area with space-saving solutions. Vacuum-seal bags compress soft decorations, such as fabric tablecloths or seasonal pillows. Place these compacted items in airtight containers to guard against moisture and pests.

Additionally, take advantage of vertical space by hanging hooks or shelves inside your storage area to keep bins and boxes off the ground. This not only creates more room but also helps prevent damage from potential leaks or floods.

Storing your holiday decor the right way keeps it safe and makes decorating your home the following year a breeze! Following these holiday storage tips ensures that your items remain in excellent condition for many more joyful seasons.
