New Year’s Resolution: An Organized Home

Now is the time to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions! Here at BCD, we believe strongly in the connection between an organized home and an organized life. So if your New Year’s resolution involves tackling some overdue home organization projects, we’re here to help! Here are the most popular spaces our clients reimagine in January:

Closets

The first step to a more organized home is always the closets. While you can de-clutter without changing a thing in your closet, if you really want storage solutions that works for your wardrobe and your lifestyle, it’s time to ditch the builder-grade closet for a custom Behind Closed Doors system. From drawers and shelving to doors and rods, our custom closets reflect your individual needs and style. If you’re looking for something even more luxurious, check out our blog post on the top five upgrades to consider.

Pantry

After all that holiday cooking, baking, and entertaining, you might feel disappointed with your pantry storage—or lack thereof. Whether you’re looking to make an existing space function better or create a new one, we’re here to help. We offer an array of pantry designs that include varying height shelves to accommodate all sizes of items you need to store, pull out drawers and shelves for easy access to deeper items, racks to organize spices and oils, and cabinet dividers for large plates, baking pans and Tupperware.

Entryway/Mudroom

It’s the first thing you see when you enter the house, and the area that can attract the most clutter. So naturally, we love helping clients reimagine their entryways and mudrooms with custom lockers, cubbies, benches and wall systems. There’s nothing more satisfying than having a stylish and functional place for all the shoes, coats, bags, and dog leashes that get dumped upon entry.

Offices

Home offices were once a neglected, sterile space used only sparingly, but they’re now a worthwhile addition thanks to the increase of people working from home part or full-time. We love helping our clients create offices that suit their needs, and often times making them multi-functional as well with the addition of a Murphy Bed. The great thing about wall beds is they’re the ultimate space-saving solution. When not in use, they fold back and out of the way. Plus the lines we carry are so much more attractive than the Murphy Beds of past!

1.It’s a mess

The No. 1 sign that it’s time to upgrade your pantry is clutter. You can add in baskets, bins and other storage containers all you want, but the simple fact is if you don’t have enough space, the only solution is to install a better functioning pantry. Period.

2.You can’t find anything

We’ve all been there—you’re staring into your pantry searching for something you know is there but it’s eluding you due to clutter and chaos. If you’re relying on builder-grade shelves that are most likely too tall to fully take advantage of the space and provide sufficient storage, then you’re in need of a solution that will make your life easier—a better functioning pantry! Think varying height shelves to accommodate all sizes of items you need to store, pull out drawers and shelves for easy access to deeper items, racks to organize spices and oils, and cabinet dividers for large plates, baking pans and Tupperware.

3.You don’t have enough storage space

When we say you don’t have enough storage space, we mean you don’t have enough usable storage space. Most builder-grade pantries neglect to take full advantage of vertical space, leaving you feeling like there isn’t enough room for everything you want to store. With our storage solutions, we’ll be able to customize a pantry that takes advantage of your entire space so you have more room. Pro tip: we recommend storing lighter items up in the higher shelves and cabinets and heavier things down lower to make getting them in and out easier.

4.Getting things down is a workout

If you’re forced to store larger items like crockpots and icemakers way up high or on the floor, you’re in for a workout every time you have to get them down. Customizing the height of your pantry shelves is one of the best features in a new pantry, as it allows for easier access to those larger items.

5.You dread unloading the groceries

You know your pantry isn’t functioning properly if you absolutely dread unloading the groceries. When there’s proper storage, you get excited—even giddy—about putting all of the new items in their place. But if your pantry is a hot mess, adding anything else to it can cause a lot of anxiety. Solution: let us help you install a better functioning pantry!
