Are you considering making upgrades before selling your home? Maybe you’re wondering, “Do custom closets increase home value, and are closet built-ins good for resale?” The short answer is yes. Custom closets are a unique selling point and can help your home stand out from other options on the market.
Read on to learn more about the cost of a closet remodel, how custom closets increase home value, and whether custom closets are worth it.
While opulent home remodels don’t always have a high return on investment, custom closets are typically the exception because while they are beautiful, they are also a functional and efficient feature that any homeowner can use. You’ll likely spend—on average—about $250 per square foot for your closet remodel and can usually add that cost onto your home’s sale price when you’re ready to move.
The cost of a closet remodel will vary depending on the size of the closet and the features you choose to include. At Inspired Closets, we create custom closets designed for your unique needs and lifestyle while still working with your budget. Our organizational and storage features come in varying price points based on the size of your closet and the elements you choose.
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 bold choices that truly make the custom closet a focal point.
If you’re wondering, “Are custom closets worth it?” The answer is yes! Since the closet is designed for your specific wants and needs, our closet and storage experts make sure there is a designated spot for all of your things. With these organizational solutions, closets are cleaner and look bigger because the visual clutter is gone.
Additionally, we take advantage of all the available space in your closet. So while we aren’t actually increasing the closet size, you will feel like you have more usable space when we’re done.
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, something you wouldn’t get with a basic primary closet system.
Builder-grade closet systems typically offer the bare minimum in storage solutions, usually only including a few shelves, hanging rods, and maybe some cubbies, if you’re lucky. These options typically don’t offer enough space for everything you need to store. Additionally, areas of usable space are often unutilized in builder-grade closets, which makes the already insufficient storage that much worse.
On the other hand, Inspired Closets custom closets are completely designed around you. Whether you need sliding jewelry trays, vertical cubbies, or soft-close drawers, custom closets have storage and organizational solutions for all your belongings. Plus, we work with every inch of usable space to ensure you’re getting the absolute most out of your closet’s footprint.
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 home and comes across a cramped, cluttered closet, they could quickly lose interest and continue their house search elsewhere.
An organized, beautiful custom closet is attractive to buyers and may pique their interest in purchasing your home.
If you need an appraisal before selling your home, you may wonder, “Will an appraiser look in my closets?” Again, the answer is yes. An appraiser won’t look at your closets to determine how many things they can hold; instead, they are getting 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 accurate measurements.
If you’re looking to get your home more organized and clutter-free for yourself or before you sell it, Inspired Closets is here to help. We offer several custom storage solutions for various spaces in your house, including closets, the laundry room, the garage, the kitchen pantry, and even the entryway.
