Conquer the clutter

Get Organized with Organized interiors

By Daina Feick

It’s everywhere- in the kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms, your basement, the garage and definitely the closets.  Clutter, stuff… and more stuff.  If your cabinets and cupboards are overflowing and its affecting your living space (not to mention your mood), its time to conquer the clutter and get organized with help from a professional space-maker.

Organized Interiors is

Existing closets - Whether it’s a reach-in or walk-in closet, Organized Interiors can double your existing storage capacity through closet organizer systems that fit your needs and budget.  Slide-out baskets, pant racks, built-in shelves, laundry hampers and accessory drawers, 180 degree hinges and oval hanger bars are just some of the innovative ideas that will help un-cramp your style.

Create-a-closet - If you need more closets (not just closet- space), Organized Interiors’ create-a-closet system can quickly and easily transform wasted space into fabulous floor-to-ceiling storage with no mess, no framing and no drywall.  These closets are carefully built with the right materials (including finishes and quality hardware accents) to complement the décor of the room.

Spare room ideas - Designed well, Organized Interiors knows that a spare room can serve several purposes – from a home office to storage for off-season clothing to a guest bedroom.  A desk system, storage cabinets and a wall bed (which reclines into a wall unit), for example, will turn that spare room into room to spare.

Home entertainment centre’s - Not inspired by what you see at regular retail stores?  Then consider the home entertainment centre’s created by Organized Interiors.  Custom designed especially for you and expertly installed,  these state-of-the-art centre’s are functional and beautiful- a perfect way to arrange your TV, DVD player, stereo, movies, books, music and games, with elegance and appeal.

Home office systems - If you work from home (full-time or just sometimes), you need an efficient, comfortable work space.  Organized Interiors can help boost your productivity through fitted home office systems and free standing furniture.  With tremendous storage and function capabilities, they allow proper space for you phone, fax machine, photocopier, paperwork, files, supplies, etc.

Tips for making a killer closet –by Peter T. Clark 

Whether you have a huge walk-in or a tiny reach-in closet, rooting through wrinkled piles of clothes every morning isn’t a particularly soothing way to start your day. 

Here are some ideas on turning storage space that’s killing you into a “killer” closet.

Purge

Go through everything in your closet and get rid of anything you don’t wear.  Be relentless.  If you haven’t worn it in a year, toss it.

Store your off-season stuff.

Put your summer clothes into airtight storage containers and stow them on a shelf, under your bed, or in your storage room, laundry room or attic.

Plan

Understand what you need to put in your closet.  Hundreds of shoes?  Lots of long dresses?  Work shirts and pants?

Design for your needs with rods and shelves set at different heights: 

-Rods hung at 64 inches (162 centimeters) are good for floor-length gowns, robes and coats. 

-Rods at 54 inches (137 cm) work for shorter dresses and pants hung by the cuff.

-38 to 42 inch rods (96 – 107cm) accommodated shirts, jackets and folded pants. 

Double your hanging space by using a rod that can be hooked directly onto the one above – no carpentry skills needed.

Think 360 degrees

Use every inch of available space.  Add a shelf just below the ceiling to store extra blankets.  Put hooks onto any open wall space. 

Install a shoe rack on the back of the closet door.  Use roll-out storage boxes on the floor.

Customize

Utilize every inch of space with a customized closet system.  You can do it yourself with a range of options available at your local home improvement store – including expandable systems that don’t require cutting or installation tools. 

Alternatively, work with a professional or company that specializes in closets.  They can be pricey, so be specific about what you want and shop around. 

Design in visibility

Instead of using closet drawers where you can only see the top layer of clothing, install wire baskets or see-through plastic bins.    

Stack sweaters and t-shirts on open shelves piled three to four high so you can pull out the bottom item without knocking over the whole pile.

Make a spot for shoes

Keep the floor tidy and your shoes protected.

Build in cubbyholes, slanted shelving, or use clear plastic boxes.  Pocket- style shoe racks or canvas shoe “shelves” suspended from a rod are good options for quick and easy installation.

Go with good hangers

Wood, padded or sturdy plastic hangers help keep the shape of your clothes.

Avoid wire hangers.  They do horrible things to shoulders and get tangled easily.  Recycle wire hangers at your local dry cleaner.

Closet Organization, it sounds like a dream, space that accommodates your storage needs. You dream it, they build it. Drawers, shelves and cabinets to store away your possessions clutter-free, all easily done by Organized Interiors.

If you have a closet that needs to be organized, Organized Interiors are masters at closet organization. Whether it be a large walk-in or a small hall closet, they can design the space to accommodate your needs.

Organized Interiors will design, build and professionally install closets to fit your space perfectly, tailor-made to your specifications. If you do not have a closet, they will create one for you. With skill and design expertise, the new closet will fit into the room as if it were meant to be there.

If you have a large walk-in closet or a spare room, why not turn it into a dressing room? Organized Interiors will combine the functionality of shelving, drawers and hanging options with a comfortable seating area and full-length mirrors. The dressing room is a wonderful way to add pampering and comfort to your daily routine while keeping your clothes and personal items in place.

It’s often the personal items and accessories that fare the worst when storage space is tight - ties get rolled up in drawers, belts fall into the dark depths of the back of the closet. We all know how difficult it can be with conventional furniture to find a place for everything. And consider how much valuable time is spent searching for a misplaced item. When space is limited, it can be transformed into storage - no more unused closet space. Organized Interiors will come up with ideas on how to best utilize the space you have.

Organized Interiors offers brilliant solutions that can be added into any storage creation. Aside from shelving, hanging space and drawers, you can incorporate elements like a single or double jewellery drawers; an ironing board and built-in laundry hamper; a locked secret document drawer; pull-out shoe shelves; a belt rack; tie rack; valet pole; full-extension chrome baskets; and even extra mirrors where you need them the most.

The service that Organized Interiors offers are not limited to closets. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. They can organize and furnish any area of the home, including the creation of custom cabinetry, bedroom furniture, bookshelves and entertainment units. They can also work their organization magic in basements and garages.

One feature that Organized Interiors offers is the luxurious option of an electric fireplace - it can be installed practically anywhere in a home or condo. Another feature is the wall bed - another brilliant way to conserve space. It is the perfect compromise between an office and guest bedroom when you don’t have two rooms to spare. Folding back into the wall with ease, nobody would imagine a bed could be hidden away. But pulled down, the attractive wall bed allows you to host your guests in absolute comfort.

Organized Interiors provides excellent professional service, and they do it with incredible style. They come in for consultations and listen to your needs. Their designs work with your interiors, offering the sophistication and polish that your home deserves. Working with a wide range of materials including wood, mirror, glass and moldings, their finishing touches are done with finesse.

Lack of storage is an inconvenience. However, there is no reason you have to put up with it - Organized Interiors will make sure of that.
