A lot of people are into do-it-yourself projects nowadays. There are three probable reasons on why these projects are ever so popular. One, they are cheap. Two, people can be as creative as possible in DIY projects. Three, this also serves as a time for families to bond. You probably did a lot of DIY projects before. Have you ever thought of do it yourself closet organizers? Probably, not yet. But here is a list of reasons why you should try creating one.
DIY IS CHEAP
Store-bought closet organizers can be very expensive—especially those which are made of good material such as solid wood. Labor costs are added to the price tag which makes the furniture more expensive. There are also closet organizers which are bought disassembled and buyers have the option of contacting a professional installer to do the job for them. Either of these options costs more than creating a closet organizer from scratch. My take on this: you don’t need to buy a ready-made closet system or have it assembled by a professional unless your house is a tourist destination subject to societal criticism. And unless you have the money to spare, custom-made closet organizer systems are simply not affordable enough for most people.
UNLEASH CREATIVITY
Store bought Closetmaid and Rubbermaid closet organizers have the sole purpose of making your house furniture look like your neighbors and the rest of the population who bought theirs from Home Depot. It is very unfortunate that only a number of people have the time to customize their furniture or even create it. On the other hand, DIY projects only provide you with the materials and the instructions for creating what you want. While closet systems all store clothes and knick knacks, closet organizers do it yourself will give you the freedom to install sliding doors instead of the usual French-window type. While the department stores don't carry purple organizers, you can now create one—complete with silver stars accents, go figure.
FAMILY BONDING
Especially for projects such as closet organization, families will not only benefit upon the completion for the project, but also while doing it. Talk about bonding with your children while painting the closet. Or sit down after dinner and discuss the design with your kids and husband or wife. Their inputs will make the design more personalized. There is the feeling that you truly own the product not just you bought it because you spent time and toiled to create it. A truly wonderful experience that is worth sharing with other family members and friends.
DIY closet systems are the best things you could create with your family that is cheap, functional, and creative. Plan this ahead of summer vacation and enjoy moments with your family that do not often arrive. Best of all, the family will have brand new furniture to use at the end of the building and designing process.
