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 20

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.

COLDWELL BANKER

AROUNDTHEWORLD

Turks & Caicos ISLANDS

If the days getting shorter and brisker have you considering where you might go to get away this winter (for those of us who do NOT have 360 days of sunshine a year), we encourage you to read this month’s selection, featuring the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Turks & Caicos office. General Manager Louise Peterson paints a picture of a gorgeous tropical island where you enjoy near constant tropical climes, with plenty of outdoors activities and beautiful scenery to explore. Of course, you could also just relax and enjoy the fresh seafood as well.

“After a busy day of work and school we get into our bathing suits and head to Grace Bay Beach by Coral Gardens Resort. There we put on our snorkel and mask, swim out to the reef where we can enjoy the warm ocean and look for colorful tropical fish,” states Peterson. “We can do that each and every day of the year.

There aren’t many places in the world where that’s possible.”

As Peterson notes, there are very few places where this is possible. Read on to discover many of the potential reasons to visit, move, or invest in the beautiful Turks & Caicos Islands (or TCI, as the locals refer to it).

What is your favourite recreational or leisure time activity?

Watersports are huge in TCI, and if you like sandy beaches and ocean-based sports this is your place! Kiteboarding is also a favorite activity. The beach at Long Bay (South-East side of the island) is a perfect

location for kiteboarding, windsurfing and jet-skiing as it’s a shallow crescent-shaped bay that has an almost constant breeze.

We spend a lot of time jet-skiing around Provo or taking the skis over to the other small islands like Pine Cay, Fort George, Dellis Cay, and even as far as North Caicos. To see the islands from the water is special for us.

Share a little known but interesting fact about the area/region: By total landmass, the Turks & Caicos Islands is one of the world’s smallest countries. Most development in the country has taken place over the last 40 years. T&C is a taxneutral jurisdiction and has an attractive tax environment. TCI has no property tax, no income tax, and no capital gains tax. No restrictions on foreign individuals owning property here, either. The development here is low-density; there are no large buildings or towers allowed. We enjoy the quiet, relaxed pace of island life.
