Reach-In Closet Systems

Small closet,
unreasonable storage.

Most bedrooms came with a 5-foot closet and a single pole. We turn that same space into double-hang, drawers, and shelves that hold more than a walk-in. Even kids' closets they can actually keep organized.

What fits

More than a pole and a shelf.

A reach-in system is really about vertical space. Once you stack double-hang, drawers, shoe shelves, and a top-shelf row, the same footprint holds two to three times what a builder-grade closet does.

Double-hang sections

Shirt-length bays stacked two high. Most closets have one pole. You usually want two.

Long-hang for dresses & coats

One side reserved floor-to-rod for anything that needs to drop.

Drawers in-closet

Three to six drawers built into the reach-in, so your dresser can leave the bedroom.

Shoe shelves

Adjustable shelves sized for heels, flats, and sneakers. On reach-ins we skip angled shelving. Flat gives you more usable space.

Top-shelf

An upper shelf for bins, luggage, and seasonal gear you only need twice a year.

Finish to match

Pick any color from our material catalog. Match the bedroom trim, or pick something that pops against the back wall.

Common configurations

Three closet sizes, three playbooks.

Common questions

Before you ask.

Your designer will walk through specifics during the consultation. Don’t see your question? Ask us directly.

Do you handle the closet tear-out?
Not in-house. We don't pull out the existing wire shelving or handle drywall repair ourselves. Most reach-ins are quick work for a handyman, and we can connect you with a subcontractor who handles demo and patching before install day if you'd like.
Should I paint the closet before or after install?
Before. Our reach-in systems don't cover every wall, so painted drywall is visible between the panels, at the back wall, and along the top. Getting paint done ahead of install means fresh walls meet our panels cleanly and you don't have to cut in around our system later.
How close to the ceiling can you build?
We can run the system all the way up, but on reach-ins we usually don't. Stopping shy of the ceiling leaves a full top shelf for bins, luggage, and seasonal storage. On an 8-foot ceiling our top shelf lands around 84 inches. On taller ceilings we go to 94 inches and still leave storage space above.
Are the shelves adjustable after install?
Yes. Every shelf adjusts on a pin system in 1-inch increments, so you can reconfigure as your wardrobe changes without tools.
Can I mix finishes or add wood shelves?
Yes. Mixing colors, adding a door or drawer front in a different style, or contrasting the shelves with the vertical panels is a common choice. Everything comes from our color lineup so the finishes hold up together over time.

Your reach-in can do more than you think.

You send measurements through our online tool, we sketch a layout, and you see a 3D rendering before you commit to anything.
