Want to give your closet a makeover? The best way to do it is to invest in some closet cabinets. These custom-installed cabinets are usually designed by an employee working for a company that makes or sells the system.

The designer or a measuring specialist will come to your home and measure all aspects of your closet. They will then go back to their office and design a closet based on your needs.

These designs often have a small fee associated with them, but the cost of the product does usually include installation.

Closet cabinetry systems have dozens of options available for the space. Of course, there is hanging space both for short and long garments, and flat shelf space.

You'll also have shoe options, which might include flat or tilted shelves, or even gliding racks. Hanging areas will be placed at the perfect height, and all the extra space will be maximized with shelving.

You'll often have drawers as part of the final design. The closet designer should ask you questions to find out what you need from your space.

However, there's one thing you should know: Installing closet cabinets will make your small area feel even smaller. You can get around this drawback by installing more lighting.

While some closet designers will be able to handle this, you may need to handle it yourself or hire an electrician. Be sure to bring up this issue with your closet designer and discuss it.

You can choose from a variety of finishes and materials for your closet cabinets. Hardwood, melamine, white wood, walnut--you have many different looks you can go with.

You should also make sure you buy new hangers that go perfectly with your new closet system. If you don't, those pastel hangers from high school could look a little odd in your closet.

Once you and your closet designer agree on a design, you can schedule the installation.

You should ask your designer if you should clean out your closet first, or if the cleaning is part of the installation process. Whatever the case may be, you'll love the new closet cabinets.
