Why It’s Smart to Buy Now: Are Your Closets Bursting at the Seams?

Do you cringe every time you open your closet door because you know that favorite shirt is hidden among all the clutter? Hangers jammed so tight there’s no room for clothes to hang without wrinkling? No place for shoes except in a pile on the floor, mixed in with more clothes and other miscellaneous stuff?

You need more than organization. You need more and bigger closets! If you’re living in a home built more than 10 years ago, closet space might be minimal. Builders discovered the concept of “walk-in” closets for the primary bedroom in the 80s, but it didn’t become prevalent until much later. These closets weren’t as large as they are today, but it was a start. Some of today’s walk-ins have enough space to qualify as a room, and the amenities are only limited by your imagination. Many homes also didn’t have the mix of pantries, coat closets, linen closets, and more than an IDEAL home has today.

If you’re living with a too-small, cramped closet, it’s just one more reason why it’s smart to buy a new home now. You can only reorganize and purge so much until you just flat need more and bigger closets. So unless you’re ready to give up a bedroom or part of your garage for storage, maybe it’s time to consider upgrading to your own IDEAL home.

Beyond just the number of closets, an IDEAL home also offers some extras that you may not get with another home.

1. Some IDEAL floor plans offer a primary closet that also has access to the utility room for easy and quick access to the washer and dryer. It’s truly a dream.

2. An IDEAL home’s primary bedroom closet features a tall top rod for hanging seasonal items that you don’t need to access on a daily basis.

3. Some IDEAL floor plans also feature walk-in closets in the secondary bedrooms.

4. All IDEAL floor plans pack as many additional closets into the space as possible. This includes pantries in most floor plans, additional linen, and coat closets, and even under-stair storage in some floor plans.

5. When custom building an IDEAL home, add things that truly make your closet feel personal such as shoe storage and shelves.

6. Secondary bedrooms feature an excellent closet layout for extra storage and double doors to access items in the far corners easily.
