Kids are not mini-adults, and their closets should not be set up the same way as yours. Kids are shorter and they tend to store different things in their storage spaces. We are well-versed in what makes kids tick, and we are able to design closets that will work for them. Here are some of the considerations we keep in mind:
Kids are smaller than adults
Not only are kids smaller, but their clothing is smaller. For this reason, we install our clothing rods lower. The drawers may be smaller, as may be the spaces between the shelves.
Kids are not as manually adept as adults
Young children often have a hard time getting their items on the hangers. The result is often a pile of clean clothing on the closet floor, which tends to irritate parents! We might install hooks on the walls to allow kids to hang jackets and sweatshirts more easily, and things like bins and baskets can help keep items corralled even if they’re just put on a shelf.
Kids have lots of treasures
While adults tend to store clothing, shoes and accessories in their closets, your children may want to store things like stuffed animals, trophies and various treasures that they find. Instead of hindering this, we can work with them to find places for all of their belongings.
