His and Hers Closets Now in Demand by New Home Buyers
 
Traditionally, studies show home buyers look at kitchens first and bathrooms second, when deciding on a dream home. This is not the case in today’s market! According to the latest PulteGroup research, His and Her Closets are quickly becoming must-have items in new homes. PulteGroup reports the bedroom now ranks as the second most important room in the home, with "His and Her Closets” rated highest among master bedroom features (31 percent). The elevated demand for these closets suggests that home buyers are now very interested in some of the top closet trends we’ve been talking about here on the blog.
 
One of the greatest homeowner advantages to having a well-designed and spacious closet system is the ability to be organized. Having an organized closet doesn’t just help you save time; it also reduces stress. Some of the organizational advice we give to WoodTrac closet system owners:
 
Place items you use often at eye level for easy access, items you use less on the bottom, and items you rarely use on the top. Another great organizational tip is to use our shelves for storing foldable items like jeans, and our soft close doors for folded sweaters to prevent hanger bumps on the shoulders.
 
Not just in the master bedroom, but guest and children bedrooms require organization as well. “When specifying WoodTrac closets for the master suite, builders and designers would often ask us about storage solutions for the other closets in the home,” said Jonathan Zublena, director of sales and marketing for WoodTrac.  “Their new home buyers desire efficient, well-organized closets in every room of the home.”
 
While organization helps de-clutter your walk-in closet, another key closet trend to consider is opening up the closet area to make it part of the main bedroom space, reflecting the overall style and color of the room. Select a dark wood finish, matching the other furnishings, or choose the classic white for a clean contemporary.
 
His and Her Closets are now a highly requested feature for home buyers--not just a storage space; it’s a room that can be designed and decorated according to your unique tastes. Creating your perfect walk-in closet takes some planning, so get creative and decide what organization methods, closet features and design styles will best suit your new His and Hers Closets. Wood-based reach-in closets from WoodTrac are available online and through authorized WoodTrac dealers. For more information and a list of dealers, please visit www.woodtrac.com.
