Closets For Less provides custom closet design in Doylestown, PA, for the borough’s older homes, the farmhouses in the surrounding township and the newer colonials across Central Bucks. We are a locally owned closet company based in nearby Warminster since 2007. A designer measures your space at a free in-home consultation, and our own team installs the finished system.
A local closet designer for Doylestown homes
Doylestown is the Bucks County seat, and its housing covers almost every era the county has. Inside the borough you find older single homes and twins on tight lots. In Doylestown Township and the neighboring townships you find stone farmhouses, 1970s and 1980s split-levels and colonials, and newer subdivisions with large primary suites. Each needs a different kind of closet plan, and a closet designer who has worked in all of them will catch the problems before they become change orders.
We are not a store that sells a kit in fixed widths. Every Doylestown closet we design is drawn to the measured space, built from 3/4 inch furniture-grade boards and installed by our own crew.
Closet design for Doylestown’s older homes
Borough homes and farmhouses were built when people owned far fewer clothes. Typical problems:
- Shallow closets that will not take a standard hanging rod front to back
- Sloped ceilings in upstairs bedrooms that leave the back half of a closet unused
- Bedrooms with no closet at all, which suit a custom wardrobe closet built for the wall
- Uneven walls and floors, which a custom system can be scribed to instead of fighting
Many Doylestown buyers choose an older home for its character, then find the closets cannot hold a modern wardrobe. Taking out a wall or adding square footage is rarely practical in a borough house, so the better answer is usually to make every inch of the existing closets count and add a wardrobe or built-in where a room has none.
For these rooms we can combine shelving cut to the actual depth with drawers and short hanging placed where the ceiling allows. The goal is to keep the character of the house while making the storage work.
Walk-in closets for newer Doylestown Township homes
Newer homes around Doylestown usually come with a walk-in closet, and usually with one rod, one wire shelf and a lot of empty wall. A designed walk-in closet for these homes might include:
- A drawer tower or island in the center of a larger walk-in
- Double hanging on one wall and long hanging for dresses and coats on another
- Shoe shelving and adjustable shelves for folded sweaters
- Soft-close drawers for everything that currently lives in a dresser
Pantries, mudrooms and garages in Doylestown
Many Central Bucks homeowners come to us for a bedroom closet and stay for the rest of the house. A custom pantry for a Bucks County kitchen replaces wire shelves with adjustable shelving and pull-out drawers. A mudroom off the garage gets lockers, a bench and cubbies so boots and backpacks stop landing in the hall. In the garage, garage storage cabinets, workbenches and slatwall get tools and sports gear off the floor.
