New ClosetMaid® Garage Storage System Offers Custom Solution Where Homeowners Need It Most
 |
OCALA, Fla.--This month, ClosetMaid, industry leader in home organization, releases its newest storage system, MultiSuite. Available nationwide through ClosetMaid Authorized Dealers, MultiSuite is a custom-designed, professionally-installed storage system that’s perfect for the garage, basement, utility room and laundry room. With National Garage Sale Day on August 11th, now’s the time for homeowners to clear the clutter and organize.
Sports equipment, holiday decorations, old baby clothes and more, people tend to pile clutter in their garages. In a recent study, ClosetMaid found 93 percent of homeowners admitted that a well-organized garage was important. But with a garage full of who-knows-what, where do homeowners start?
“Considering how often it’s used, it makes sense to give your garage some organizing attention,” says Lisa Engel, Vice President Channel Marketing & Communications, ClosetMaid. “When you designate a spot for everything, you actually can find your tools, garden supplies and whatever else you need.
“If your garage or utility room is a frequent entry point of the home, it can work double-time as a mudroom to efficiently store jackets, shopping bags, backpacks, pet supplies and more. A carefully-planned garage captures clutter before it has a chance to spread inside the home.”
To reclaim your garage, start by devoting one weekend day to “the big sort,” and work without distractions. Make four piles: store, sell, donate and toss. After you know what you’re keeping, call in the pros from ClosetMaid. Your dealer will configure a custom MultiSuite design to meet your specific needs and budget during an in-home consultation.
Durable, stylish and affordable, MultiSuite is available in two White melamine finishes, and homeowners can choose between Flat and Raised Panels. If a more industrial look is your preference, ClosetMaid also offers MultiSuite in Hammered Grey. Both the Hammered Grey and White Raised options are powder-coated to be stain-, scratch- and chip-resistant. Plus, strong MultiSuite cabinets feature 1” shelves and adjustable support legs raised off the floor for easier cleaning. Cabinets are available in 16”- and 24”-depths.
As an extension of the home, garages and utility rooms quickly are becoming more of a hobby center. 45 percent of ClosetMaid customers reported using their garages as a place for pastimes like woodworking, crafting and gardening.
“ClosetMaid dealers know that when space is tight, garages need to serve multiple functions,” remarks Engel. “With careful planning and the help of a professional to maximize space, homeowners can include a dedicated workspace within their storage system.”
After making a list of family pursuits and projects, homeowners decide which supplies to display and which to keep behind doors. Along with MultiSuite cabinets and drawers, countertops provide generous workspace for projects-in-progress. Slotwalls and flexible accessories like hooks and hang-ups keep anything from tools to sewing materials close-at-hand and the countertop clutter-free.
With a ClosetMaid dealer managing every step from design to installation, MultiSuite comes with the quality homeowners expect from ClosetMaid and is backed by a lifetime Free Replacement Policy.
