One of the most frequently asked questions we get is about the cost of a closet… "How much does a custom closet cost?" is a common refrain from new clients. Of course, we understand the concern - with any home improvement, a client wants to know if a project is going to fit their budget. And we can honestly say that a custom closet can meet your budget - almost any budget.
One important factor that impacts the cost of a closet system is how much you want to utilize the space available in your closet. You do not generally control the size and shape of the closet - but sometimes you can control how much of that space you choose to build-out. A small reach-in style closet will be less expensive than a large wall-in - simply because you can fit more storage systems (and, of course, more stuff!!) into a large closet. However, other physical factors of the room - ceiling height, odd shaped spaces, or sloping ceilings - also effect the cost of a closet. So, while you cannot change the shape of the closet, you can impact the cost by choosing to build on more or fewer walls, building to a standard 7' height or higher, or utilizing the slopes in more complicated ways.
The more you want to store - the more you want to use every available inch in that closet - the more costly a system might be. The complexity of the design is another factor impacting cost. A simple walk-in with just space for hanging close and some folded garments can be very moderately priced. However, you can gain more use out of a space by adding drawers, hampers, jewelry storage, mirrors, belt and tie racks. Your simple closet becomes a true dressing room. This closet provides a more efficient way to house your clothing… but this also adds to the cost of the overall system. And the last major factor that impacts the closet of the system are the materials and finishes selected.
Artisan Custom Closets offers over 30 melamine color choices, 14 different door or drawer face styles, and 5 different door inserts, which leads to many options for the final aesthetic feel of your space. Our classic materials provide a great basic color palate; however, for those looking to make more of a statement, a dark woodgrain, a textured, or a SuperMatte solid might be more to the liking. And, for doors or drawers, you can select from a basic melamine door, raised panel, shaker or even to a glazed door with mirrored inserts. Each choice makes the closet more "you" - but can add to the overall cost. And other enhancements, like trim, backing, and other decorative elements can turn you closet from simply functional to completely fantastic! And this is where you come in… what kind of closet do you want? Just for function? Simple but with a few important storage elements? Looking for a luxury retreat? Below you will find four versions of the same 10' space - and the price for this space varies from $700 to over $3500 due to the design and finish elements chosen.
