Double Hanging Units are the workhorse units of a custom closet.

They typically double the storage capacity of your existing space.

Designed for blazers, sport coats, suits, shirts, blouses, and tops, trousers and slacks folded over a hanger.

Construction Materials?

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood euro panels
  • Cultivated Bamboo (green leaf option)
  • Native hardwoods such as Pennsylvania Cherry. South Carolina Oak
  • Antique and Recovered Wood

Finishes?

  •  88 different laminate colors
  • Custom Tinted Furniture lacquer
  • Blanchon oil imported from France (green leaf option)

Molding?

  • Base, Crown and Fill moldings
  • Custom patterns milled and finished to your architect’s specifications

Price Guidance

The basic unit pictured above, in Decorator White (B21R) lists for 186.96 per lineal foot, not including sales, promotions, trade discounts etc. Don’t kid yourself, examples in 400 yr. old recovered South Carolina Oak costs much much more, for obvious reasons.

Hamptons Garage Interior Design – Functional Art

Hampton Closet Company - Garage AccesoriesEver have that feeling of doing everything right, but not being that happy?

That’s where I was with my Easthampton custom garage interior design. (see previous)

Kind of like being on a diet – I’m following the plan, I feel good about my progress… BUT

A nice veal parmegian hero would make my day!

I had completed the project to spec, yet I felt like something was missing

Here's a Snapshot of the completed custom garage interior design

Another client from Brooklyn supplied the answer:

“Peter – You haven’t put your own personal thumbprint on the project”

Eureka!

  • Nothing in the space felt unique
  • Nothing in the space felt fresh and imaginative
  • Nothing in the space gave the feeling of  creativity

Solution? – Pick the nearest object and pour some heart and soul into it

I took one tiny part of the contract – a $200. firewood holder from Brookstone, and decided to jettison it in favor of  my own concept of what really belonged in this wonderful home

Here are some progress shots of the Firewood holder  – I hope you like it so far:

I Really Like the hand crafted patina left by the finishing wheel. Originally I was going to paint the iron frame black, but I changed my mind and decided to leave it just as it came from the workbench

Like my mother said, “It looks awful spiffy to be holding firewood”

wr-hampton-closet-company---contemporary-wardrobe

One of my EastHampton Clients asked if i would be willing to come in to Brooklyn to work on their place, and the answer is ….Of Course!

Met yesterday in Carroll Gardens

and talked over the project – several large made to order wardrobes in a soft contemporary style, using the most eco friendly material on the planet – Bamboo.

Here’s a few screenshots of the style we are considering

Pocket Guide to Your Perfect Custom Closet – Part 1

It’s early Tuesday morning…

wr-hamton-closet-company-cuppa-joeIn just a few minutes you’ll quarterback the morning affairs of the household, and then its off to a packed day of work, and an evening with clients.

but just now, you have a few precious quiet moments to yourself

You slip into your closet, and the lights come on automatically – subtle, indirect, low key and comfortable.

Your things for the day are arranged from the night before at a custom designed dressing station.

Everything is right at hand.

Time is of the essence, but there’s no need to rush

You glance appreciatively at the picture of your loved one in its place of prominence

Your eye catches your new red bottoms, displayed on their display shelf ready for nightlife

Everything is neatly organized and ready to hand

You smile to yourself when you notice the shelf is lacquered to the exact lipstick red shade of the bottom of your shoes

It was an extravagance ordering that color specifically to match, but a little luxury is always in order.

Besides, it’s your favorite color. It makes you feel happy.

You glance over to a second station which holds things for the summer weekend, together with the luggage.

You don’t have to pack all at once, but can toss a few things in as time permits. (you won’t be rushed on friday when you try to beat the hamptons traffic to the summer house).

Is this picture of a perfect closet interior a total mirage or an achievable goal?

An ultimate closet is totally achievable, and less work then you might think.

Good interior design contributes to a serene life, and I view custom closet interiors as no exception to the rule

Your closet might be a compact reach-in or a spacious dressing room, but it holds essential things – some of them the more precious things in your life. Why wouldn’t you give it the attention it deserves?

Hello friends

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI’m Peter Ekstrom, and my company crafts elegant and practical design solutions for closets of every size and shape.

My design objective is to create a place of balance

an efficient, practical environment of peace, ease, and understated luxury that promotes well being and health
Design elements of proportion, function and quiet style are integral to my design aesthetic.

(Stay Tuned: In Part 2 of this series, I will describe 4 features that I find indispensable to a successful closet.)

Talk Soon,

wr'P'100
