Villanova homes and what their closets need
Villanova is an unincorporated community that straddles Radnor Township in Delaware County and Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County, with Villanova University near its center. Away from campus, the streets are lined with large homes on generous lots: stone colonials and Tudors from the early 1900s, mid-century houses, and newer custom homes built on subdivided estates or in place of older houses.
Each kind of house brings a different closet problem:
| Home type | Typical problem | What tends to fit |
|---|---|---|
| Early 1900s stone home | Small closets, a primary closet carved from another room | Walk-in planned around windows and radiators |
| Mid-century home | Sliding-door reach-ins with one rod | Full reach-in system with drawers |
| Newer custom home | Large walk-in with a single rod on each wall | Walk-in with drawer banks, shoe walls and an island |
| Any home with guest rooms | Closets too small to use | Custom wardrobes and adjustable shelving |
Walk-in closets for Villanova primary suites
A walk-in only works if every wall is planned. We map each wall to what it holds: double hanging where shirts and pants go, long hanging for dresses and coats, drawer banks for everything folded, and shelving sized for shoes. Larger rooms can take a center island with drawers on both sides and a counter on top, which also gives you a place to fold and lay out clothes.
For couples, the room can be split so each person has their own hanging, drawers and shoe storage. Jewelry drawers with dividers, belt and tie pull-outs, a valet rod and a built-in hamper are added where they help. Our walk-in closet designs page shows more layouts and finish options.
Custom wardrobes for guest rooms and older bedrooms
Villanova searches for custom wardrobes in 19085 usually come from one of two situations. In older houses, a bedroom or third-floor room has no real closet. In newer homes, a guest room or home office needs hanging space without giving up a wall to a framed closet.
A wardrobe closet designed to the wall solves both. It holds hanging clothes, shelves and drawers like a reach-in, and it comes in many finishes, so it can suit the room it sits in.
Garage storage solutions in Villanova
Two- and three-car garages fill with bikes, sports equipment, tools and seasonal gear until the cars no longer fit. A garage storage system with wall cabinets, slatwall with hooks and baskets, and a workbench moves everything onto the walls. Grouping gear by season or by person makes it easy to find and easy to put away.
Mudrooms and laundry rooms
Families in Villanova come in through the garage, and that entry collects coats, backpacks, boots and sports gear. A mudroom with lockers, a bench, cubbies and drawers gives each person a spot. A laundry room with cabinets above the machines, a folding counter and a place to hang clothes as they come out of the dryer keeps the work in one room.
Home offices and libraries
Many Villanova houses have a study or library that now serves as a home office. A built-in desk with shelving and file drawers fits the scale of these rooms and holds more than freestanding furniture.
Materials and finishes
Every system is custom designed for its space and installed by our own team. We use 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers, and you can choose from many finishes, from crisp white to wood grain, plus a range of hardware.
What a custom closet costs in Villanova
There is no fixed price, because the size of the room, the number of drawers, the finish and accessories such as an island all change the total. The consultation, 3D design and estimate are free. Our custom closet cost guide goes through those choices one at a time.
