Closets For Less designs and installs custom closets in North Wales, PA. Our designers plan closet organizers, shelving, drawers and hanging space around your closet’s measurements, and our own installers build it. That applies to the older homes in the borough and to the newer subdivisions with North Wales addresses. The design consultation and estimate are free, and we have been in business since 2007.
Closet design in the borough and beyond
North Wales is a small borough built around its train station on the Lansdale/Doylestown line, with older singles and twins on narrow lots. Around it, the North Wales mailing address covers a much larger area in Upper Gwynedd and Montgomery Township, where most homes are subdivisions and townhouse communities built in later decades.
Those two kinds of homes need different closets:
| Home | Common closet problem | Typical design |
|---|---|---|
| Borough single or twin | Shallow, narrow bedroom closets | Double hanging, shallow shelving, drawers under the hanging |
| Subdivision colonial | A large primary closet with one rod | Full-height towers, drawer banks, a shoe wall |
| Townhouse | Few closets overall | Space-saving reach-ins, a coat and entry closet, a wardrobe closet |
Custom closet organizers for small borough closets
In the borough’s older houses, closets are often too shallow for a standard hanger to hang straight, and the space above the rod goes unused. We plan these closets from the measurements up. Shallow shelving goes where hanging will not fit, short hanging is doubled, and drawers sit beneath the hanging so a small bedroom may not need a dresser. For more ideas in tight spaces, see our closet storage solutions for small homes.
Closet installers for newer North Wales homes
The colonials and townhouses with North Wales addresses usually came with wire shelving. It works, but it bends, it lets small items fall through, and it wastes the corners. We replace it with a fastened system built from 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers, in a finish that fits your home. In the primary closet that often means a true walk-in layout. In the kids’ rooms, it means adjustable sections that can change as they grow.
Our reach-in closet organization ideas show layouts that suit homes like these.
Closets that change as a family grows
Many North Wales homes are family homes, and children’s closets need to change more than any other closet in the house. A layout that suits a toddler, with low rods and bins for toys, is wrong for a ten-year-old and wrong again for a teenager with a full wardrobe and a shoe collection. Because our shelving and hanging sections are adjustable, the same system can be reset at each stage instead of replaced.
| Age | How we set up the closet |
|---|---|
| Young children | Low hanging rod they can reach, bins on low shelves, high shelves for out-of-season clothes |
| School age | Two hanging levels, a drawer stack, shelves for sports gear |
| Teens | More long hanging, shoe shelving, drawers for accessories |
When the kids leave home, the same closet can become linen, office or guest storage with a few shelf moves.
Pantries, laundry rooms and garages
North Wales homes often have a hall closet next to the kitchen that can become a pantry. A custom pantry with adjustable shelves and pull-outs turns it into usable kitchen storage. We also design laundry rooms with folding counters and cabinets, mudrooms at the garage entry, and garage storage with cabinets, workbenches and slatwall. In the subdivision homes, the laundry room often sits between the garage and the kitchen, so we design it to double as the drop zone for coats, shoes and backpacks.
Neighboring Gwynedd communities
North Wales borders Lower Gwynedd Township, and people there often search by village name instead of township. If your home is in the Gwynedd Valley area, see our Gwynedd Valley closet systems page, and for Spring House, Penllyn and the rest of the township, see custom closets in Lower Gwynedd.
How to get started
Book a free consultation and a designer will come to measure, listen to what you need to store, and prepare a 3D design and estimate. You can revise it until it is right before anything is ordered, and there is no obligation to go ahead. It helps to have a rough count of what each closet needs to hold, and an idea of the finish you like, before the visit. For other towns nearby, visit our Montgomery County custom closet design page.
