Plan a walk-in, reach-in, pantry or other storage space with Hannapel’s custom Dutchmaid cabinetry. Start with what you need to store, then work through the layout, materials and details with a designer.

Make room for everyday use.

Count what needs a home

Separate long-hanging clothes, shorter garments, folded items, shoes and bulky pieces. Note what you use daily and what can live higher up.

Map the space

Bring a sketch with wall lengths, ceiling height, doors and windows. Mark outlets, vents, baseboards and anything that must remain accessible.

Check the clearances

Allow room to walk, open the entry door and fully extend drawers or pull-outs. Decide which shelves and hanging sections need to be within easy reach.

Plan both the storage and the space in front of it. A drawer or door needs a clear path to open.

Bring these details

Photos of every wall, a rough sketch and your storage list. Include a finish or hardware sample if the closet should coordinate with adjoining cabinetry. Your designer can review the layout before final measurements and ordering.
