Closets For Less provides custom closet design in Conshohocken, PA, for everything from old rowhomes to new townhouses and condos. We design closet systems, wardrobes, home offices and entry storage around your space, and our own team installs them. Every project starts with a free in-home design consultation, and we have worked in Montgomery County homes since 2007.
Closet design for Conshohocken’s old and new homes
Conshohocken grew as a mill town on the Schuylkill River, and its older blocks still show it: brick rowhomes and twins stepping up the hill from the river, with small rooms and small closets. Over the last couple of decades the borough has also added a wave of apartments, condos and townhouses near the river and the Schuylkill River Trail.
Those two housing types need very different closets:
| Older rowhomes and twins | Newer townhouses and condos | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical closet | Narrow, shallow reach-in or none at all | Builder closet with a wire shelf and one rod |
| Main problem | Too little space | Space that is badly used |
| What we design | Double hanging, shelves to the ceiling, wardrobes | Full closet systems with drawers and shoe shelving |
Closet systems for older rowhomes and twins
In an older Conshohocken home, every inch of closet matters. We start with the height: shelves run up to the ceiling for out-of-season clothes and bins. Hanging is split into two levels wherever clothing lengths allow. A narrow stack of soft-close drawers moves socks and folded clothes out of the bedroom. Low shelves keep shoes off the floor.
Where a bedroom has no closet, a custom wardrobe closet gives you hanging and drawer storage in one built-in unit sized to the wall.
Closet systems for new townhouses and condos
Builder closets in newer Conshohocken buildings usually have the space but not the layout. Replacing a wire shelf and single rod with a built-in system makes the whole closet usable:
- Walk-in closets get double and long hanging, a drawer tower, shoe shelving and adjustable open shelves. See our walk-in closets page.
- Reach-in closets get double hanging, shelves above and a few drawers. See our reach-in closets page.
- Entry closets get hooks, shelves and shoe storage so coats and bags have a place inside the door.
Home offices and multi-use rooms
Many Conshohocken residents work from home in a second bedroom. A built-in desk with file drawers and shelving keeps work contained, and a Murphy bed lets the room double as a guest room. We also design built-in shelving and entertainment centers for living rooms where floor space is limited. In a rowhome living room, shelving and cabinets built into the wall beside a fireplace or around a window hold books, media and everyday clutter without a bookcase sticking out into a narrow room.
Pantries and storage for smaller kitchens
Kitchens in both old rowhomes and new condos tend to be compact. A pantry closet with adjustable shelving and pull-out baskets, or a tall pantry cabinet in a corner, gives food and small appliances a set place.
Entry storage in a rowhome
Many Conshohocken rowhomes open straight from the front door into the living room, with no hall and no coat closet. Coats, bags and shoes end up on the nearest chair. A shallow built-in by the door can fix that without taking much floor space: hooks at two heights, a narrow bench with shoe storage underneath, and a cabinet or open shelf above for hats, gloves and keys. On a small footprint, we keep the depth shallow so the walkway stays clear. In newer townhouses where the entry opens from the garage, the same idea works as a compact mudroom wall. Our mudroom storage in Montgomery County page shows the full range.
Materials and finishes
Every system is built from 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers, in many finishes and hardware options. That range lets a closet suit a renovated rowhome as well as a modern condo. We are locally owned, and homeowners rate us 4.8 stars on Google.
