Closets For Less designs and installs custom closets in Norristown, PA, along with made-to-measure wardrobes and pantries. Norristown’s rowhomes, twins and older singles often have small closets or none at all, and we design storage that fits each one to the inch. Our own team does the installation. The consultation and estimate are free, and we have been in business since 2007.
Closets for Norristown rowhomes, twins and singles
Norristown is the county seat of Montgomery County, set on the Schuylkill River. Its older neighborhoods are mostly rowhomes, twins and Victorian-era single homes on narrow lots. Around it, East Norriton, West Norriton and Plymouth Township, many with Norristown mailing addresses, have more mid-century ranches, split-levels and colonials.
The older houses were built with very little closet space. Bedrooms may have a single shallow closet, or none. Kitchens are narrow and rarely have a pantry, and there is no mudroom. The mid-century homes have more closets, but they are small and fitted with one rod and a shelf. In both, the goal is the same: use every inch of the space you have.
Custom closet organization for small closets
A custom closet system is measured for your closet and fastened to its walls, so it fills spaces a store-bought organizer would leave empty. In a small Norristown closet consider including:
- Double hanging for shirts and pants, which roughly doubles hanging space
- Shallow shelving where the closet is too shallow for hangers
- A drawer stack so folded clothes do not need a dresser
- Shelves up to the ceiling for bins and seasonal clothes
- Shoe shelving near the floor
Every system uses 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers.
Mid-century homes in the Norritons and Plymouth Township
Outside the borough, homes with Norristown addresses are more often ranches, split-levels and colonials from the middle of the last century. Their closets are a standard size, but there are few of them and they are fitted with a single rod and shelf. The bedroom closets usually have sliding or bifold doors, so we plan them in sections that line up with the doors, and we add a drawer stack where it can be reached without opening both sides.
The coat closet and hall linen closet in these homes are worth fitting too. Hooks, a shoe shelf and a high shelf in the coat closet, and shelves spaced for towels and sheets in the linen closet, take pressure off every other room. After the consultation you get a 3D design and estimate you can revise before anything is ordered.
Custom made wardrobes
When a bedroom has no closet or one too small to help, a custom wardrobe closet adds storage without construction. It is a stand-alone unit with doors, sized to your wall, with hanging space, drawers and shelves inside. Wardrobes are a good fit in rowhome bedrooms, in third-floor rooms with sloped ceilings, and in finished basements.
Pantries for narrow kitchens
A pantry does not need a whole room. A narrow hall closet, an unused corner or a wall near the basement stairs can take shallow adjustable shelves and pull-out baskets. Our custom pantry designs keep food and small appliances visible and off the counter, which matters most in a small kitchen.
Designer and installer, not an organizing service
People searching for a home organizer near Norristown are often looking for one of two things: someone to sort their belongings, or storage that makes sorting stick. We do the second. We design and build the closets, wardrobes and pantries; you decide what goes in them. If you want a head start, our guide on how to declutter your home is a good first step before your consultation.
Other storage we build
Beyond closets, we design mudroom benches and cubbies for back entries, laundry room cabinets, garage storage with cabinets and workbenches, home office built-ins and Murphy beds for rooms that need to do two jobs. Across the river, our Upper Merion custom storage page covers whole-home projects in King of Prussia and the rest of that township.
Cost and getting started
A Norristown closet is priced by size, drawers and accessories, and finish. Our custom closet cost guide explains each factor, and the estimate you receive after the free consultation is specific to your home. For other towns nearby, see our Montgomery County custom closet design hub.
