Custom Closets by California Closets

Our floor plan comes with “his” and “her” walk-in closets, but they only have a basic shelf that goes all across with a bar beneath it. We knew right away that we wanted to customize the closets. A few weeks before we moved in, we stopped by California Closets in Berkeley to check out their closet systems. I almost didn’t want to go in because I kept thinking that they are super expensive and we wouldn’t be able to afford them, but I was also curious as to what they had to offer and I am so glad we stopped by. We liked what we saw but without having a designer come to our house to see the closets, we wouldn’t know what our options are, so we scheduled the appointment for early August right after we moved into the house.

Our designer, Abbe Miller, was great. She took a look at both of our closets and then based on what I told her our lifestyle and needs are, she measured our walls and sat on the floor in my closet with me and started working on the rendering of our closets. Within minutes, we were able to see what our future closets would look like and how much it would cost. It was amazing!

We also scheduled a separate appointment with a local closet company just for comparison in products and price, but California Closets was running a summer special for the light color finishes (which we wanted anyway), so we got a really good price for the LuxeMatte collection.

Their installer was super busy and it took almost 7 weeks from design to the actual install. It took 2 installers an entire day (8 hours) to finish both closets, and the closets so sturdy and pretty! We LOVE them!
