Closets For Less offers custom closet design in Southampton, PA, from our office in Warminster, which sits right next door to Upper Southampton Township. We are a locally owned Bucks County company in business since 2007, designing closets for the area’s ranches, split-levels and Cape Cods. Your consultation is free and our own team installs every system.
Custom closets from your neighbors in Warminster
Southampton, meaning Upper Southampton Township, shares a border with Warminster, so for us it is about as local as a job gets. It is part of the same Centennial School District, with Street Road and Second Street Pike running through it. Most of its neighborhoods were built in the postwar decades: ranches, split-levels, Cape Cods and some twins, with newer homes filling in here and there.
If you live in Lower Southampton instead, our Feasterville-Trevose page covers that side of the line.
Closets for postwar Southampton homes
Ranches
A Southampton ranch usually has modest bedrooms on one floor, each with a small reach-in. Those closets are the natural place to start. A designed reach-in closet with double hanging, full-height shelving and built-in drawers uses space a single rod leaves empty.
Split-levels
Split-levels put the bedrooms on the top level, with the family room, laundry and garage access below. Bedroom closets pair well with storage for the lower level, where coats, shoes and bins tend to collect.
Cape Cods
Upstairs rooms in a Cape have short closets under a sloped roof. Drawers and shelves go where the ceiling is low, hanging goes where it is high, and nothing is left as dead space.
Drawers that replace a dresser
In smaller bedrooms, the dresser takes up floor space the room cannot spare. Built-in closet drawer systems move folded clothes into the closet so the dresser can go. Typical choices:
| Drawer type | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Shallow drawers | Jewelry, watches, belts, socks |
| Medium drawers | T-shirts, workout clothes, underwear |
| Deep drawers | Jeans, sweaters, a laundry hamper |
| Drawer tower | A full dresser’s worth in a closet corner |
Soft-close drawers are an option, built into a system made from 3/4 inch furniture-grade boards.
Turning a spare bedroom into a closet
When kids move out, many Southampton homeowners find themselves with a spare bedroom and a primary closet that is still too small. Turning that spare room into a walk-in or dressing room is a common answer. Our post on how to turn a room into a closet explains what is involved. We design around the existing window, door and heating so the room keeps working as a room.
Beyond closets
We also design pantries, laundry rooms, mudroom entries, garage cabinets and workbenches, home offices and Murphy beds. Southampton homeowners often add one of these to their closet consultation, since we are already in the house.
The lower level of a Southampton split-level
In a split-level, the lower level is where the house really gets used: the family room, the laundry, the door from the garage and usually a coat closet near it. It is also where clutter builds up, because everything comes in through that door. The lower level can be designed as one project. The coat closet gets a shoe shelf, hooks and a mix of hanging. The laundry area gets cabinets over the machines and a folding surface. The wall by the garage door can take a bench and cubbies. Planned together, the space works as a mudroom even without a dedicated room.
What a Southampton closet costs
Price depends on the closet’s size, the number of drawers, the finish and any extras. Reach-ins cost far less than walk-ins or a full room conversion. The consultation, design and written estimate are free. See our custom closet cost guide for the factors that move the number.
