And remember, the glamorous isn’t just for ladies. If you are sharing your closet with a partner, they might want to have a little bit of feedback on their needs as well, so ensure you are giving them that opportunity. Your storage designer will ask you about priorities; such as, if you like to have different hanging heights or different shelving heights, whether you need accessories racks,  such as jewelry drawers and tie racks. All of these will create a custom space just for you.
