Custom Barn Doors

/in

Marco Shutters is pleased to announce that we’re now offering Custom Barn Doors to enhance your home decor. The Barn Door style has opened up new options for interior spaces. They can be used to close off rooms and closets. Smaller Custom Barn Doors can be used over windows.

More practical than pocket doors or bi-fold doors, a custom Barn Door takes up less space than a pre-hung door when it comes to opening and closing. If your floor plan doesn’t allow room for a traditional door, a Custom Barn Door could be the right solution for you.

Marco can make Barn Doors with a rustic look. But, if that’s not your style, the Barn Door can be customized. Raised panels, smooth wood, distressed wood – just about any style can be made to match your decor. The stain can be matched to the wood trim already in your home. For those looking for a painted Barn Door, our custom paint matching service can provide just the look you’re after.

Custom Barn Doors can be made as single units or split units. Split Barn Doors are especially attractive for windows, as the panels can help to frame the window with wood.

Options for the hardware style and color of the rail system can also match your style; the hardware is available in three colors and three styles.

Using the premium construction techniques used for all Marco Shutters products, your Custom Barn Door can be made from nearly any hardwood species.

Glass Closet Doors

/in

Although some people think of hiding items in the closet cabinet, others believe that displaying items in the closet is a better idea. Glass closet cabinet doors from Marco Closets can add an entirely new dimension to your clothing storage. Available in clear glass, frosted glass and patterned glass, the cabinet doors in a walk-in closet from Marco Closets can add elegance, and display and store your accessories and clothing in style.

Combining Elements To Fit Your Needs

As with all of our custom closets, combining elements to create a truly personalized space is our specialty. In this example, cabinets with glass doors were installed over drawer units.  Some of our drawers are lined with plush to protect jewelry and other precious items that need special care. Locking drawers are also available.

The elegant look of this closet is accented with recessed lighting inside the closet cabinet.  The same lighting is also used over the hanging rod section of the closet.

Marco’s closet doors and cabinets are available in many styles. There are 42 color and finish options to complement your home decor and personal taste.

If affordable elegance is what you’re looking for, Marco Closets should be your first and only phone call. We offer free consultation, free measuring and free design. Call Marco Closets today for a free quote: 402.778.5777. Start planning your elegant closet doors and cabinet today.

 

Is It Time For A Closet Tune-Up?

/in

storage closetThe last time we visited your storage closet, it was pretty neat. Nothing had been put on the shelves or closet rods, and everything went according to plan. It was a beautiful place to be.

Now, some things have changed. Your storage closet is still beautiful, but there are a few things that aren’t working for you. For example, you have a different job and need to wear more dresses. The hanging rods really should be moved to a different height to allow for that and to be more efficient. And, adding an ironing board would be a good idea for quick touch-ups.

Or, you’ve retired, and you don’t need to hang as many dress shirts and suits. But you do need a space for those golf shirts and shorts. And wouldn’t some drawers in the closet be a good idea? Is that even possible?

Additions and changes to custom storage closets can be made as your needs and lifestyle change. The idea of a custom closet is to help you make sense of your space, with a solution tailored just for you.

Give us a call and arrange for a free consultation. We’ll listen to your needs and then let you know what’s possible. We have ideas that can help your closet look better and work better for you.  Call today: 402.778.5777.

It’s Waaay Over Your Head – Pull-Down Closet Rod

/in

“Stretch, stretch. Arms waaay over your head.” We used to hear that in gym class. We shouldn’t have to perform sixth-grade physical fitness drills just to get our clothes out of the closet. Our Pull-Down Closet Rod allows even the most petite among us to reach clothing on higher clothing rods.  This Pull-Down Closet Rod also works well for those with disabilities.

Mounting clothing rods in upper and lower tiers allows for maximum space efficiency. Closets with 10 feet of height or more can use the Pull-Down Closet Rod to add a third row of hanging rods in the closet.

The hinged mount allows for the rod to be pulled down to a comfortable height, and easily pushed back into place. The handle (or push rod) swings back against the wall when not in use, so it will never get lost. It also has an adjustable length to adapt to many height requirements.

The Pull-Down Closet Rod is also suitable for walk-in closets. It’s available in three adjustable sizes: 18-24 in. wide; 24-39 in. wide; 30-47 in. wide. Each rod has a 25 lb. load capacity.

 

This closet accessory is just one way that Marco Closets helps you make sense of your space. We offer many other options, too. Our Pull-Out Valet Rod, Tie Butler, Belt Rack and Pull-Out Hampers can also add organization and easy storage to your closet. Why not call us at 402.778.5777 today? We offer free design and measuring. Today is always a good day to be organized.

You probably heard it as a child: There should be a place for everything, and everything should be in its place. That sounds good on the surface,but how do we make that happen?

One way to begin is to look at the cluttered hotspots in your home- those spaces that often attract clutter, or make you wince when you see them.  Read more

Marco Makeover: Closets for Babies, Tweens & Teens

/in

It’s never too early to learn to be organized. A custom closet can help kids learn to be organized by providing a space for everything. Then, kids can learn to put everything in its proper place. Custom closets for kids tweens & teens that can change as your children grow will help them learn to make sense of their space.

Custom Closets for Kids Tweens & Teens grow with your childrenTiny children have tiny clothes in their closets. In this custom closet, the smaller, shorter clothing provides space for as many as three rows of rods for hanging clothes. Wire baskets can make it easier for toddlers to know where to store their own clothes and toys. They can learn by example when they see where each item should be stored.

As children transition into the tween and teen years, a custom closet like this one can be modified to include more shelves and fewer hanging rods. Drawers for socks, shirts and underwear and even a mirror can be added.

Wire baskets can get an upgrade to fabric textures.  Or, baskets can easily be removed and additional storage space in the form of shelves can be added.

The modular design of a custom closet can change as children’s needs change. We have a wide range of closet accessories to customize closets to create an organized space.

There’s almost no limit to the options available. Call Marco Closets today at 402.778.5777. We offer free consultation, free design and measuring. We can create the perfect closet for your child – no matter what their age.

Ironing Boards Get A Makeover

/in

The topic of ironing can be controversial. It’s a love-hate thing: Some people love a crisp, starched look. Others prefer to go with gentle wrinkles and a bright smile. One objection to ironing is inconvenience. Lugging around an ironing board can be a buzz-kill, no matter how much you like crisp shirts.

Marco has a solution for that – a fold-out ironing board that doesn’t need to be taken out of the closet. Why? Because it’s IN the closet. Meant for walk-in closets, our fold-out ironing board is kept out of place. There’s no big, heavy board to trip over. Installed in a closet drawer, it rotates 180 degrees. It features seven pre-set positions. It’s also compact, fitting into a space that’s 24 inches wide x 14 inches deep and 7 inches high.

When expanded, it’s 37 1/2 inches long and 13 3/4 inches wide. That’s big enough to iron any shirt or pair of slacks. It’s especially convenient for touch-ups, like an unexpected crease in a jacket or skirt.

This closet accessory has an added bonus: there are no ball bearings or slides, like you’d find on a regular ironing board. This means that your clothing won’t come into contact with grease or become pinched in the legs of the ironing board. Included is a heat-resistant cover.

Whether you love to iron or press clothing only when you feel you have to, the fold-out ironing board offers a convenient, space-saving solution. Call Marco Closets today at 402.778.5777 for a free consultation. Let us show you how you can make sense of your space with a custom closet built to match your dreams.

Wardrobes | The Un-Closet

/in

 

We’ve all experienced it: seasons change and temperatures can vary by 30 degrees in a single day. On days like those, it may be convenient to have extra sweaters and heavy jackets within easy reach as you wrap and peel clothing layers. The downside is that too many options can result in a crowded closet. We have a solution for that: Open wardrobes can allow for easy access and visibility of just the right layer for the weather of the moment.

Open wardrobe or storage areas like this can be put in a hallway or even in a garage. (We are experts in finding storage space and making it work for your needs!) Open wardrobes can include storage for footwear and hanging clothes and jackets. Drawers for hats, mittens and scarves can be added.

A space like this could even be used for extra pillows, sheets, blankets and comforters – especially convenient if an unexpected overnight guest drops in.

The possibilities are endless! Because our closets are truly customized to your needs, we offer free design services and free estimates. Call Marco Closets today at 402.778.5777 to set up an appointment.
