Experienced design consultant Devra Wasser of California Closets Toronto was more than up for the challenge posed by a mom in Pakistan:

Design an apartment for her two sons that included work stations, sleeping space, folding storage areas and display space. Plus, the perfect spot for the all important TV, so both guys – and their friends – could view it easily.

Devra’s final design incorporated all of the functionality requirements with a sleek, handsome look.

We asked our Facebook fans to fill in the blank: My favorite summer decorating color is _______.

It was really interesting to see the variety of favorite colors that fans posted! (Feel free to add your own answer on our Facebook page if you haven’t already!)

Envisioning how our fans favorite colors reminded them of summer was a lot of fun, so I thought I’d pull together some examples that illustrate some of the most popular color ideas they shared.

If you’ve ever struggled with odd spaces, angled ceilings or the feeling that you’re running out of room for any more storage, we feel your pain.

That’s why we want to share three examples of how you can design custom storage even in unique or troublesome spaces – like attics and stairways.

Even the simplest addition of color can brighten up any space and add a sense of style.

But how do you work with color when you’re designing your custom closet? From bright and bold splashes to soft and gentle palettes, we’ve got some ideas!

More and more, our clients want their custom closets to be more than just storage. They want gorgeous closets, comfy boudoirs, and closets that look like their own private boutiques.

Kate Cullen, design consultant from California Closets Twin Cities, created another stunning example of a boutique walk-in closet that demonstrates how to combine smart organization, functional storage and stylish design.

What do you do when you don’t have enough – or any – closets?
