Many parents believe that their resident teenagers intentionally insult them with mountains of unfolded clothes, oceans of randomly strewn books, and rivers of cords and wires from tech gadgets. But think of it this way: Just as your teen outgrows last season's corduroy pants, he/she also develops new needs for effective teen closet design.
In other words, your teenager may be as clueless about closet organization as you sometimes feel. And, like their parental guardians, teens collect more and more "stuff" as the years go by.
While teenagers hate to be compared to children, like their smaller counterparts, their needs are ever-changing and their identities are ever-evolving. A custom teen closet professional can waltz through your front door to design a clever teen closet organization system that accounts for your teenaged son's or daughter's current and future interests and clothing needs. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, this same custom closet pro can add extra storage solutions for old toys, trophies and technology that may inspire a little more teen tidiness.
Show your teens the way to closet organization, and they will follow.
A few specifics to consider for your teen's closet system
While your teenager may transform from star tuba-player into Goth rocker overnight, a teen closet organization professional can help you design a closet system that allows for flexible storage options.
- Before deciding how to store your teen's belongings, first evaluate which items they use or wear and which ones could be handed down, donated or tossed in the trash. Ask your teenager to be honest about his/her possessions: Do I like this item? Do I need it? When was the last time I used it?
- Remember that there are simple teen closet systems that can help to maximize smaller spaces. Consider incorporating sliding doors, adjustable rods and shelves and out-of-sight storage containers for board games, CD's, sporting gear and seasonal clothing.
- With the clutter gone, your teenager may actually have more space for productive activities like homework.
