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

Separate long-hanging clothes, shorter garments, folded items, shoes and bulky pieces. Note what you use daily and what can live higher up.
Bring a sketch with wall lengths, ceiling height, doors and windows. Mark outlets, vents, baseboards and anything that must remain accessible.
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.
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.
