There’s nothing like my annual trip to the Closets Conference & Expo to get ANYONE with a pulse jazzed about closets (in general) or luxury closets (in particular). The best closet designers in the country attend this show which offers ideas and speaking topics like ‘Designing for the Future’ and ‘Luxury on a Budget’ (and hey- we know luxury on a budget is a hot topic because let’s face it, most of us have champagne tastes, but our budget is…

When talking to customers about their budget for a custom closet I’ve used this example many times.

I had the exact same size closet to design for 2 prospective customers who both bought the same home design built by MI Homes (a production builder) in Columbus Ohio.
