The Unexpected
at Closet Solutions
by Shannon Cournoyer

          Closet Solutions is the perfect place to go to turn your closet into an organized storage area.  But it’s so much more.  They bring beauty and organization together with storage solutions for every room in your house and they have won awards for their efforts.  Ladies’ Home Journal awarded them the Smart Design Award for closet design and the Building, Remodeling and Redecorating Home Show 2006 gave them their “After Paint Award” for making the most significant change on a house after the paint.  Closet Solutions offers professional design with their four on-staff designers and the company has its own team of expert installers.  In business for ten years, they have the experience you want.

 

Starting in the master bedroom; if you can dream it, they can create it.  From luxury grade solid wood cabinets to the do-it-yourself project they help you design, the master closet can become something truly special.  They work with you to design your perfect closet, no one else’s.  Whether you live a more formal lifestyle or if you’re more casual, they can create the closet solution designed for you.

 Love shoes or sweaters?  They’ll make those a priority.  A full-length mirror can swing out or an ironing board can swing down.  Laundry hampers, belt and tie racks are available.  There are lined jewelry drawers to meet your needs.  Closet Solutions can even install a safe in your closet that has places to hang and set your prized jewelry.   When their team comes to install your dream closet, they make more than a third of the cuts in the wood on site because they want it to fit your closet perfectly. 

 National Closet Group recently honored Closet Solutions by selecting them to sell their products.  Only a chosen few are able to offer this luxury product.  With National Closet Group, those shoes and ties will be behind glass doors.  Choices with this company include thirty different cabinet finishes.

 

In kid’s rooms, Closet Solutions designs the closet for the size the child is now but, because a baby’s needs aren’t the same as a ten-year-olds, they make it flexible so that it can grow with the child.  The kitchen can have the pantry you’ve always wanted.  Pull out baskets, tray dividers and wine racks are a few of the available options.  The shelves are completely adjustable and can be reconfigured if your needs change.  A home office needs to be efficient and attractive.  Closet Solutions can design a home office that meets all your storage and functional needs as well as looking great.

 The large, often forgotten, garage needs organization too.  Do you wonder where the hammer is or where you put the paint for the touch up in the kitchen?  Storage options for the garage are amazing at Closet Solutions.  They have stor-wall which enables you to neatly hang your hammer and screwdrivers . . . and tennis racket.  And they offer a system where all the shelves, drawers and cabinets hang up out of the way on the wall.  That puts bicycles, hoses and the ice chest for the game up off the ground where each is accessible but out of the way.

 There’s a new area in many homes – the craft/gift wrap center.  All of your craft supplies can be neatly stored and, for those you want visible, Closet Solutions has clear plexiglass cupboard doors.  Gift wrap hangs on rods specially designed for that purpose.

 Even the laundry room has storage needs.  Closet Solutions can outfit your laundry room with drawers in wood, rattan or wire.  What if the drawer and cabinet pulls for those wooden drawers were in the shape of a sock or a t-shirt?

 That brings us to something else that’s unexpected about Closet Solutions – the cabinet hardware.  They have beautiful drawer and cabinet pulls in many varied designs, finishes and materials.  Metal drawer pulls in antiqued pewter or polished stainless steel are beautiful.  But their hand blown glass pulls are truly unique.  And quite beautiful.  Even more, an artist can actually hand paint pulls to match fabric.  A custom drawer pull engraved with whatever word you choose can be made.  Your child’s name, perhaps?  Pulls with initials on them are also available.

 The sheer number of choices in cabinet hardware is due to the fact that owner Pam Cash can’t resist their beauty.  They’re like jewelry to her and they’ll be like jewelry in your home.  Service is a priority with Closet Solutions and because it’s often easier to know if you like the drawer pull when you see it with your cabinets, they allow you to borrow the sample and try it at home.

The unexpected continues.  They have interior and exterior door handles in many different styles and finishes.  Towel bars, hammered copper sinks, mirrors and even a hammered copper tub are available for the bathroom.

 Whether your home is under construction or historic, Closet Solutions is able to assist you.  Located in The Shops at Franklin Square, they’re a short distance east of the Pellissippi Parkway at 9700 Kingston Pike.  Phone 865-690-1244 or go visit their website at www.goclosets.com for more information.
