Closets For Less designs and installs custom closets in New Hope, PA, including wardrobes for historic river-town homes that have few closets and full walk-ins for newer houses in surrounding Solebury Township. We are a locally owned Bucks County company, based in Warminster since 2007. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and is installed by our own team.
Custom closets for New Hope’s older homes
New Hope sits on the Delaware River across from Lambertville, New Jersey, and its borough is made up largely of older homes on narrow streets near the river and the canal. Many were built long before closets were standard, so storage is often the first thing new owners want to fix. At the free consultation we measure each room and follow up with a 3D design you can revise before anything is ordered.
What older New Hope Borough houses often have:
- Bedrooms without closets, or with one shallow closet that will not take a hanger
- Upstairs rooms under the roof with low walls and sloped ceilings
- Walls and floors that are out of level after a long life
- Little or no basement storage, depending on the house
In these homes, a custom system has to fit around the house, not the other way round. Shelves are cut to the real depth, hanging goes where the ceiling allows and drawers fill the low spaces under slopes.
Custom wardrobes for rooms with no closet
A practical fix for a closet-less bedroom is often a custom wardrobe closet built for the wall. It gives you hanging, shelves and drawers in one unit and can be finished to suit an older room. Typical options:
| Wardrobe feature | Why it helps in an older home |
|---|---|
| Sized to the wall | Uses the space between windows, doors and radiators |
| Mix of long and double hanging | Holds dresses and coats as well as shirts |
| Built-in drawers | Replaces a dresser in a small room |
| Adjustable shelving | Adapts as needs change |
| Many finishes and hardware options | Suits the style of the room |
Walk-ins and guest rooms in Solebury homes
Outside the borough, Solebury Township’s newer homes and renovated farmhouses usually have bigger primary closets. We design those as full walk-ins, with drawer towers or islands, shoe shelving and the right balance of long and double hanging.
Guest rooms are common in New Hope-area homes, and many double as offices or studios. A Murphy bed folds into the wall when the room is in daily use and comes down when guests arrive.
Garages and outdoor gear
Life near the river and the towpath means bikes, kayaks, garden tools and outdoor gear. Our garage storage designs use cabinets, workbenches and slatwall to get it all off the floor and onto the walls.
Pantries and the rest of the house
Older kitchens often have little cabinet space. A pantry closet with adjustable shelving and pull-out drawers, or a built-in where there is no closet, adds real kitchen storage. We also design mudrooms, laundry rooms, home offices and entertainment built-ins.
Built-ins for older living rooms
Older New Hope homes often have living rooms and dens with no closets, odd alcoves and walls broken up by windows and fireplaces. Built-ins are a natural fit there. We design entertainment centers with closed cabinets for media and games, bookshelves that fill an alcove from floor to ceiling, and window-seat style storage where the layout allows. Because each piece is drawn for the room, it can use the space around a chimney or under a window that freestanding furniture would waste. Built-ins use the same furniture-grade boards and finish options as our closets.
What a New Hope closet costs
Every New Hope house is different, so we price after measuring. The main factors are the size of the space, the number of drawers, the finish and any extras. The consultation and estimate are free. Read our custom closet cost guide to see what affects the price.
