Especially for parents of multiple young ones, having a dedicated closet space all to yourself that can be organized, functional, and beautiful can bring some much-deserved peace of mind into your daily suburban life. 

Reston, VA is a thriving suburb of DC that seems just perfect for raising a family. As one of the first post-war planned communities, this paradise of a town was built with plenty of amenities that young families pay top dollar for. Reston is replete with beautiful public parks, open land and walking paths, 20 neighborhood pools, and a community structure designed around living well.

The truth is, Reston is still an absolute dream for families—but it’s experiencing some serious growing pains. As residents flee the larger Metro area and pour into the town, new housing developments, combined with nearly unbearable traffic, make this once-quiet suburb a bit more chaotic. When every restaurant (and bar) is full of families with multiple children, neighborhood streets are packed to the gills with minivans, and getting out of the city feels like even more hassle than staying put, you may be looking for an alternative sense of calm in the Reston area.

Enter the custom closet. Especially for parents of multiple young ones, having a dedicated space all to yourself that can be organized, functional, and beautiful can bring some much-deserved peace of mind into your daily suburban life.

Features Parents Love

When you’re busy taking your kids to free concerts at Lake Anne Plaza and beating the school-day pickup traffic, you may not even notice the effect that your master closet has on your day-to-day life. But just imagine walking into a beautifully lit room luxuriously designed to your specific needs. It’s easy to see what you’ve been missing.

As a parent, there are some features within a custom closet that make all the difference in making your life easier, calmer, and more aesthetically pleasing. Plus, working with a manufacturer can give you the convenience of a custom closet in a matter of days.

For starters, soft-close drawers and cabinets are sheer bliss when you’re doing laundry during naptime or trying to get a new baby to stay down long enough for you to hang up your work clothes. After a long commute home from DC, your custom closet can provide at least a few precious moments of peace and quiet.

Speaking of laundry, built-in hampers can make all the difference when trying to simplify your clothing routine. Design your custom closet with hampers for lights and darks, and when you’re ready to take care of your clothes, the liners remove smoothly. You can then take your items directly to the laundry room or the corner Village Square Cleaners.

Adding Luxury to Suburban Convenience

Even though convenience is a major deciding factor for families in Reston who are looking to simplify, adding a little bit of luxury to your personal space can help you feel more put together in general. It’s a quiet way of taking care of yourself when your usual duties involve putting everyone else’s needs first.

One idea that clients love is to add beautiful, velvet-lined jewelry drawers to your design. This strategy replaces the tangled mess of a jewelry tray you may have sitting on your bathroom counter. These drawers make your closet feel like a department store cultivated just for you.

You may also want to include valet rods, which make using your closet much more fun. You can plan outfits, set aside items for cleaning, or display a favorite colorful item for your own enjoyment. If you’re looking forward to Family Fun Saturdays, you could have your outfit waiting for you on a valet rod in the days ahead as a cheerful reminder each time you change clothes. TGIF indeed!

A custom closet may be just what your Reston home is lacking—and might help make up for all the family-friendly chaos of the city. Reach out to us today to schedule a free design consultation and start imagining the closet that will change your daily life for the better.
