Storage space<\/h3>\n<p>How much storage space will you be needing? If you already know what items will be placed in the cabinets or closets, you should have a good idea of how large your custom storage solutions need to be.<\/p>\n<p>You might also consider having custom cabinets made larger, to create space for additional items you buy in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>4. What\u2019s wrong with\u00a0your current storage solution?<\/h3>\n<p>Is your current closet too small, or does it not have enough shelf space?
