STORAGE SOLUTIONS
NEED BETTER STORAGE SPACES? WE CAN HELP.
If you’re putting up with a builder-basic closet with only a single rod and shelf or a garage cluttered with boxes stacked in piles instead of organized and stored safely on shelves and in cabinets, it’s time for an upgrade. Don’t waste another day struggling with spaces that don’t meet your needs.
We have experience designing storage solutions that fit people’s real needs, however unique they may be. The results are incredibly functional spaces that add tremendous value to your home.
At House of a Different Color, we believe that improving the functionality of a space is more important than enhancing its aesthetic. Small frustrations encountered repeatedly drain your energy and raise the tension in your life. Who needs that?! (Not you.)
AS ONE OF OUR CLIENTS, we’ll Design for YOUR lifestyle and custom-tailor a solution that’s Made for how YOU Live.
As we’re assessing your project, we’ll ask questions about your lifestyle and who spends time in your home (including pets, frequent visitors, etc.) so we have a comprehensive picture of how your home can best support you.
Beyond the basics, we’ll ask if any occupants have special considerations, such as allergies, sensory differences, mobility challenges, and many other factors that can impact how comfortable people and their pets are in their homes. As we develop design plans, we’re mindful of how you and others in your home will use the space so your day-to-day lives can be made as seamless as possible.
