Imagine the following scenario: The doorbell rings. You open the door, wondering where to "store" your in-laws for a weekend of holiday shopping, family gathering or kids' recital-hopping. While you have a sofa bed and spare linens, you worry that you just don't have enough room for their suitcases stuffed with clothes and toiletries.  Sound familiar?

Enter the custom guest closet designer--with a wizard's collection of organization tricks for practical home storage solutions--into this nightmare of disorganization. Even if you don't have a dedicated space for guests, a custom guest closet designer can help you create a space that serves dual purposes: more closet storage or a workroom for you, and a "hotel room" for your visitors.

Let's face it: You want your guests to feel comfortable in your home. Custom guest room spaces can come complete with a wall bed that fits neatly into a unit with side shelving to spare. Or, you can outfit a guest closet with luggage racks, an ironing board, shoe shelves and drawers, plus extra storage space for your own needs. If you really love your guests, then you can also add a coffee-maker, refrigerator or wet bar.  But then, your visitors may become residents.  

A few specifics to consider for your guests' custom closet system

Throw down the ultimate welcome mat by creating a space that's perfect for you and the folks you love to host.

  • If you store some of your own belongings in your guest room, make sure that you conceal them in guest closet storage containers that will also maximize space for your visitors' needs.
  • Chances are, your guests will bring a suitcase or two with them. Add a luggage rack to your guest closet so they can efficiently pack and unpack their belongings.
