If asked, what the most common closet type that people have today is, the Small Closet, a.k.a Reach-in Closet , will without a doubt come out on top. Being a small closet, it's easy to mistakenly perceive it as having small storage, but that is simply not true at all. It's safe to say that the purpose of having storage organizers is to maximize storage space and keeping your items sorted so that it can be easily found when needed.
If your reach-in closet is built in an innovative and optimum way, you will fit up to 50% MORE items without the cluttered look and feel. If you decide to have a custom small closet designed and installed , you can build one that's specifically suited for you and whoever may be sharing one with you. Sure you can go to your local home improvement store, but it just won't fit properly and you may not be completely satisfied with it in the long term.

3. Chocolate Pear Custom Small Closet in Phoenix, AZ
The chocolate pear finish is a great darker choice to contrast your wall color and match your dark bedroom furniture. As you can see, double hung bars are used on the right and the width of that column is wider than the left 2 in order to compensate for the inventory size. As this particular owner may not have that many dresses, there is no need for a large single hanging bar - thus, the width on the left is the smallest of all. In the center column, the shelf immediately above the drawers can be used for decoration to personalize your custom small closet.
