Do Custom Closets Increase Home Resale Value?

Helps the Home Stand Out

Builder-grade closets are standard in almost every home, so prospective buyers take notice when they come across a custom closet.

When working with your Inspired Closets designer, they’ll help you pick out beautiful paint colors and hardware that can blend in with your home’s existing color palette, or select bold choices that truly make the custom closet a strong focal point.

Gives More Sense of Space

Since your closet is created custom for your exact wants and needs, our design experts ensure there is a dedicated place for all of your things. With these organizational solutions, closets look cleaner and feel bigger because the visual clutter is gone.

Additionally, we take advantage of all the available space within your closet. So, while we aren’t actually increasing the closet’s size, you will feel like you have more usable space when we’re done.

Provides an Element of Elegance

Whether it’s a walk-in, reach-in, or boutique closet, a custom closet system adds a touch of elegance and class to your home. Your Inspired Closets designer can add features, like a Shoe Shrine® or a walk-in closet island, that help elevate the look and feel of your space in a way you won’t get with a basic primary closet system.

Custom Closets vs. Builder-Grade Solution

Builder-grade closet systems typically offer the bare minimum in storage solutions, usually only including a few shelves, hanging rods, and maybe some cubbies. This usually doesn’t provide enough space for everything you need to store, either. Additionally, builder-grade closets leave usable space on the table, making an already tight storage situation even harder to manage.

In comparison, custom closets are designed specifically for you and the things you own. Whether you want sliding jewelry trays, vertical cubbies, or soft-close drawers, custom solutions give you plenty of storage plus dedicated organizational solutions for all of your belongings. And, we work with every inch of usable space to ensure you’re getting the absolute most out of your closet’s footprint.

An Organized Home Makes for a More Attractive Home

Custom walk-in closets are good for resale because they help your home look more organized and appealing. If an interested buyer walks through your house and comes across a cramped, cluttered closet, they can quickly lose interest and continue their home search elsewhere.

A beautiful, organized custom closet is attractive to buyers, giving you a competitive edge compared to homes that don’t have the same storage options.

May Improve Value From an Appraisal

A commonly asked question is whether or not appraisers look at closets during their process. They do, but not to determine how many things your closets can hold. Instead, an appraiser will take measurements to see if the space can count toward your home’s square footage.

When you work with Inspired Closets to create custom closet systems in your home, an appraiser will have an easier time evaluating the space and getting the accurate measurements they need.
