Custom closets for Upper Makefield homes
Washington Crossing is the village in Upper Makefield Township where Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776, now home to Washington Crossing Historic Park. The township around it is mostly low-density and green, in the Council Rock School District, with a mix of older stone farmhouses and larger single-family homes on big lots built over recent decades.
Larger homes bring a different storage challenge than the small closets of Lower Bucks. The closets here are usually big. The problem is that they were finished with a few runs of wire shelving and never planned, so much of the space does little.
Walk-in closets worth designing properly
A large walk-in closet is only as useful as its layout. A designed walk-in closet for a Washington Crossing home might include:
- An island with drawers on one or both sides and a top for folding or packing
- A drawer tower for folded clothes, accessories and jewelry
- Long hanging for dresses, suits and coats, sized to what you own
- Double hanging for shirts, pants and skirts
- Shoe shelving with adjustable spacing for boots and heels
- Separate zones when two people share the closet
Every part is built from 3/4 inch furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers. You choose from many finishes and hardware options to suit the room.
Older farmhouses and historic homes
Not every home here is new. Older farmhouses in Upper Makefield tend to have few closets, shallow ones, thick walls and upstairs ceilings that slope. We fit shelving to the real depth, place hanging around the roofline and design custom wardrobe closets for rooms that have no closet, so storage suits the house rather than fighting it.
Home offices and guest rooms
In a larger home, a spare room often ends up as an office. Home office built-ins with a desk, shelving, file drawers and closed cabinets turn a spare room into a real office. Where that room also hosts guests, a Murphy bed keeps it usable for both.
Garages, mudrooms and pantries
Big lots usually mean big garages, full of mowers, tools, bikes and outdoor gear. Garage storage cabinets, workbenches and slatwall get it all up off the floor. Inside the garage door, mudroom lockers with a bench and cubbies keep coats and boots in one place. In the kitchen, a pantry with adjustable shelves and pull-out drawers replaces wire racks.
| Washington Crossing space | Suggested design |
|---|---|
| Large primary walk-in | Island, drawer tower, long and double hanging, shoe wall |
| Farmhouse bedroom | Wardrobe closet or fitted reach-in |
| Home office | Desk, shelving, file drawers |
| Garage | Cabinets, workbench, slatwall |
| Mudroom | Lockers, bench, cubbies |
| Pantry | Adjustable shelving, pull-out drawers |
Dressing rooms and two-person closets
In larger Washington Crossing homes, the primary closet is sometimes a room in its own right, or there are two closets side by side. A dressing room layout treats it as a room: drawer storage and hanging along the walls, an island or bench in the middle, a mirror and good lighting. When two people share it, we split it into zones so each person has their own hanging, drawers and shoes, with shared storage for luggage and seasonal items up high. Your 3D design shows the split before anything is ordered.
What a custom closet costs here
Larger closets with islands and more drawers cost more than reach-ins, and the finish and accessories add to it. We send a free written estimate with your 3D design. Read our custom closet cost guide for the full list of factors.
