Three Walk-In Closets from Lake Balboa and Reseda
Three real walk-ins from the west Valley, and the layout ideas behind each one.
Lake Balboa and Reseda are full of single-story homes with good-sized bedrooms and closets that were never planned for how much they need to hold. Here are three walk-in closets we designed and installed there, and the ideas behind each layout.
Encino Ave., Lake Balboa: every type of storage in one room
This walk-in combines open shelving, built-in drawers, adjustable shelves, double hanging and long hanging, all in white melamine with black drawer pulls for contrast. The configuration separates folded clothing, hanging garments and smaller personal items, and uses the wall space fully.
The idea: upper open shelves hold things you reach for less often, while drawers sit at a comfortable height for everyday items.
Peach Ave., Lake Balboa: a central drawer tower
Here a drawer tower in the middle of the main wall provides enclosed storage for small items, with shelving on both sides for folded clothing, shoes and accessories, plus hanging sections and enclosed cabinet sections.
The idea: a drawer tower gives the room a clear center and does the job of an island without using floor space.
Yarmouth Ave., Reseda: storage across several walls
In Reseda, adjustable shelving and hanging sections are positioned across several walls of the room. Folded clothing and hanging garments each have their own zones, and open shelving keeps shoes and accessories flexible.
The idea: in a room with several free walls, spreading the storage around keeps every section easy to reach.
What these three have in common
- White melamine. Durable, easy to clean, and it keeps the closet bright.
- Separate zones for hanging, folded clothes and small items.
- Adjustable shelves, so the closet can change as the wardrobe does.
- Full use of the height, with upper storage for seasonal items.
