Closets For Less is a closet company serving Malvern, PA, designing and installing custom closets for the borough’s older homes and the newer neighborhoods in the townships around it. In many homes here, the job is replacing builder wire shelving with a full system or planning a walk-in from scratch. The free consultation is followed by a 3D design, and we have been in business since 2007.
Malvern homes and their closets
Malvern is a small borough in Chester County, with an older downtown along King Street and a train station on the line that runs east to Philadelphia. The Malvern mailing address reaches well beyond the borough, into parts of East Whiteland, Willistown, Charlestown and neighboring townships. That larger area grew quickly in recent decades, with colonials, carriage homes and townhouse communities near the Great Valley and Route 202 corridor.
So “Malvern” covers two very different kinds of houses:
| Home type | Typical closet | What tends to fit |
|---|---|---|
| Borough home, early 1900s | Small, shallow closets | Double hang, shelves to the ceiling, a drawer stack |
| 1980s to 2000s colonial | Wire shelving in every closet | Full reach-in and walk-in systems |
| Townhouse or carriage home | Fair-size closets, little other storage | Drawers in the closet, entry and linen closet rebuilds |
| Newer home with a large primary suite | Walk-in with a single rod per wall | Walk-in with drawer banks, shoe walls and an island |
Replacing builder wire shelving
Most houses built in the last forty years came with wire shelving in every closet. It is quick to install, but it leaves most of the height empty, it puts ridges in folded sweaters, and shoes end up on the floor. Replacing it with a designed system changes what a closet can hold:
- Double hanging for shirts and pants in place of one rod.
- Adjustable shelves that can move as your needs change.
- Drawers built into the closet, so a dresser can leave the bedroom.
- Dedicated shoe shelves to clear the floor.
Walk-in closets for Malvern primary suites
Newer Malvern homes often have a primary walk-in large enough for a real layout. We plan each wall for a purpose: long hanging on one, double hanging on another, a drawer bank, and shelving for shoes and bags. If the room allows, a center island with drawers adds storage and a place to fold. See our walk-in closet designs for finishes and examples.
Townhouse storage
Townhouses in the Malvern area have decent closets but little else: often no basement storage, and a garage that holds a car. In these homes, every closet has to carry more of the load. A drawer stack in the primary closet, a rebuilt linen closet and a coat closet with a shoe shelf near the door make a noticeable difference.
Pantries, mudrooms and laundry rooms
Kitchens in newer Malvern homes usually include a pantry with wire shelves. A custom pantry with adjustable shelving and pull-out storage puts everything in view and uses the full height.
Families here come in through the garage, and a mudroom at that door with lockers, a bench and cubbies keeps coats, bags and sports gear in one place. Laundry rooms get cabinets above the machines and a folding counter.
Garage storage
Two-car garages fill up with bikes, tools, lawn equipment and sports gear. Wall cabinets, slatwall with hooks and baskets, and a workbench move it all off the floor so the cars fit.
Materials and finishes
Every system is custom designed for the space and installed by our own team, using 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers. You can choose from many finishes and hardware options, and the 3D design lets you see the closet and request changes before anything is ordered.
What a custom closet costs in Malvern
The total depends on the size of the closet, the number of drawers, the finish and the accessories. A wire-shelving replacement in a reach-in is a smaller project. There is no charge for the consultation or the estimate. To see how each factor affects the price, read our custom closet cost guide.
