Custom Closet Systems San Francisco – Professional Closet Design & Installation
A well-designed closet system changes everything – suddenly you can see what you own, everything has its place, and getting dressed doesn't feel like a scavenger hunt.
You know what happens when you open your closet and can't find anything? You end up wearing the same five things because everything else is buried in piles or shoved in the back where you can't reach it. A well-designed closet system changes that completely – suddenly you can see what you own, everything has its place, and getting dressed in the morning doesn't feel like a scavenger hunt.
We've been building custom closet systems in San Francisco for over 35 years now. Most people don't realize how much difference a properly designed closet makes until they have one. Then they wonder how they lived without it for so long. The thing is, closet systems aren't just about storage – they're about making your daily routine easier and actually using the clothes and accessories you own.
San Francisco homes have unique closet challenges. Victorian flats in the Mission have tiny closets with weird angles. Modern condos in SOMA and Downtown SF have shallow closets that don't hold much. Older homes in the Sunset have closets that were designed when people owned way less stuff. We design closet systems that maximize whatever space you've got, no matter how awkward or limited it is.

Custom Closet Solutions
From walk-in closets to reach-in systems, we design custom solutions that maximize your space and keep everything organized.
Walk-In Closet Design
Walk-in closets are the dream, right? Enough space to actually walk in, see everything you own, and have room for all your clothes, shoes, and accessories. But even walk-ins need good design to function properly. We've seen plenty of walk-in closets that are just empty rooms with a rod across one wall – total waste of potential.
A Well-Designed Walk-In Closet Includes:
Multiple hanging heights for different garment types (long dresses, shirts, pants)
Drawer units for folded items, underwear, accessories
Shoe storage that actually holds all your shoes and keeps them visible
Drawer units for folded items, underwear, accessories
Shoe storage that actually holds all your shoes and keeps them visible
Specialty storage for jewelry, ties, belts, scarves
The layout depends on your closet dimensions and what you need to store. We measure everything carefully and design a system that uses every inch efficiently. Corner spaces get corner shelving units. Vertical space gets utilized with double-hang rods or shelving that goes up high. The materials we use are the same quality hardwoods and finishes we use for all our cabinetry. This isn't wire shelving or particle board – it's real wood furniture built to last decades.
Reach-In Closet Organization
Reach-in closets are more common in San Francisco homes, especially older buildings. These are the standard closets where you open the door and reach in – usually 24-30 inches deep and 4-8 feet wide. The challenge is maximizing limited space.
Double Hanging Rods
Maximize vertical space with short items on top and bottom rods, doubling your hanging capacity.
Adjustable Shelving
Shelves that adapt as your storage needs change, providing flexibility over time.
Drawer Inserts
Perfect for items that don't hang well – socks, underwear, accessories, and folded items.
Shoe Racks
Efficient floor space usage with racks that keep shoes visible and accessible.
We design reach-in systems that make everything visible and accessible. No more digging through piles on the floor or losing things in the back. Every item has a designated spot, and you can see what you own at a glance.
Drawer Systems for Closets
Drawers in closets are game-changers for organization. They keep folded items neat, protect delicate items, and make everything easy to find.
Shallow drawers (3-4 inches): For jewelry, watches, and sunglasses
Medium drawers (6-8 inches): For underwear, socks, and t-shirts
Deep drawers (10-12 inches): For sweaters, jeans, and bulky items
Soft-close slides: All our closet drawers use soft-close hardware as standard

Shoe Storage Solutions
Shoes are always a challenge. Most people own way more shoes than they think, and finding space for all of them requires creative solutions.
Angled shoe shelves: Tilted shelves so you can see each pair clearly
Cubbies: Individual compartments that keep shoes organized and protected
Pull-out shoe racks: Racks that slide out for easy access to shoes in the back
Floor-level storage: Efficient use of floor space with low shelves or racks

Accessory Organization
Accessories – jewelry, belts, ties, scarves, bags – need specific storage solutions to stay organized and accessible.
Jewelry Storage
Shallow drawers with velvet-lined compartments keep jewelry organized and protected. Necklaces hang on hooks to prevent tangling.
Belt & Tie Racks
Pull-out racks or wall-mounted hooks keep belts and ties visible and wrinkle-free while saving space.
Bag Storage
Shelving sized for handbags and purses with shelf dividers that keep bags upright and prevent collapsing.
Dedicated watch boxes or drawer inserts with individual compartments to protect and organize your collection.
Watch Storage

Islands Can Include:
Drawers for folded items and accessories
Display top for jewelry boxes or decorative items

The quality of materials determines how well your closet system performs over time. This isn't the cheap melamine or wire shelving you see at big box stores. We're building furniture-quality closet systems that last 30+ years.
Our Custom Design Process
Every closet system we build is custom-designed for your specific space and needs.
Design Development
We create detailed drawings showing the closet layout, including all shelving, hanging rods, drawers, and specialty storage. You'll see exactly what the finished closet will look like.
Material Selection
You choose wood species, finish color, and hardware. We show you samples so you can make informed decisions.
Initial Consultation
We visit your home, measure your closet space, and discuss what you need to store. We look at your current wardrobe and accessories to understand storage requirements.
Fabrication
We build your closet system in our San Francisco workshop. Project duration is typically 3-6 weeks depending on complexity.
Installation & Warranty
We install everything in your closet, making sure it's level, secure, and functions perfectly. Installation usually takes 1-2 days, and all work is backed by our warranty.
