Organization

But Rafferty insists that, for her, it’s less about luxury and more about organization.

“We never knew where anything was,” she said. “It’s been a huge time saver in day-to-day living. Everybody is so busy — maybe it’s the area we live in — I think this has required people to see where they can save time. It’s a very practical luxury; we always know where everything is supposed to go. There are divided sections so everything is easy to find.”

Rafferty’s husband is certainly happy with the change.

“There are a lot of pullout display drawers for my husband. There are special places for his baseball caps, cufflinks and pretty much anything that comes out of his pockets at the end of the day. They designed pullout drawers on rollers so he can see what he’s got,” she said. “My space was more conventional: Makeup and accessory drawers that are shallow. It makes it easier to see where everything is. I also like my shoes hidden behind the closet door while my husband prefers them to be visible,” she said.

The possibilities are endless.

“There are lots of neat gadgets like drawers that are padded out for jewelry. Some closets are outfitted with safes. There are pegs that pull out of panels on the wall so you can pull out and line up outfits to contemplate,” said Bilotta. “There are big areas for laundry and ironing boards, drawers with crisscross pieces of wood laid out like a crossword puzzle for compartmentalizing socks or ties, all kinds of shoe storage and glass front drawers for identifying which one to go to for a red shirt or blue. ”

So, with all these options, are closets usurping kitchens as the place in the home to renovate? If it were up to Rafferty they would.

“The closet is a luxury I use everyday,” she said. “You can avoid cooking if you want but you do have to get dressed.”
