Custom closet organizers in UBC, Vancouver for reach in and walk in closets. Better shelves, hanging space, and shoe storage by Omid Glass.
UBC has a mix of condos, family homes, and rentals where every bit of space matters. Even when the place is a good size, closets can still feel messy. Shelves are often too high, hanging space is not planned well, and the floor turns into a pile of boxes and bags. That is where a closet organizer setup can change daily life.
At Omid Glass, we do custom closet organizer work in UBC. It is not about fancy stuff. It is about making your storage fit the way you actually live, so mornings feel calmer, laundry feels less annoying, and your rooms stay tidy without a big effort.

Why closet organizers matter so much in UBC
A lot of people around UBC have busy days. Work, school, family, gym, errands, all of it. When storage is not planned well, the mess tends to spread. You end up with coats on chairs, shoes by the door, and “I will deal with it later” piles that keep growing.
A good closet organizer helps because:
- You can see your clothes and shoes, so you use them more
- You stop buying duplicates because you forgot you had something
- You get a clear spot for bags, hats, and seasonal items
- Your room looks better without extra furniture
- You waste less time looking for basics

The most common closet problems we see
These are the usual ones, and you might recognize a few right away.
1) One rod, one shelf, and nothing else
This is the classic builder closet. It kind of works, but it wastes space. The top shelf becomes a dusty storage zone, and the bottom becomes a shoe pile.
2) Too much hanging, not enough shelves
Not everything should hang. Sweaters, jeans, workout stuff, and tees often do better on shelves or in drawers.
3) No real home for shoes
Shoes end up scattered, and it always looks messy even when the rest is clean.
4) Corners that are dead space
Corners can be used, but they need a plan. Without one, they turn into “random things” zones.
5) A closet that does not match your routine
Some people need more space for work clothes. Some need sports gear space. Some need room for kids’ stuff. A good organizer matches your life, not a generic idea.
Closet organizer setups people pick most
There is no one layout for everyone, but there are a few setups that fit many UBC homes.
Reach in closet organizers that use the full height
These are common in condos and bedrooms with standard closets. The goal is to use the full wall height in a way that still stays reachable.
Typical parts include:
- Double hanging sections for shirts and pants
- Shelves for folded items
- A shoe zone that keeps pairs together
- A top shelf for seasonal items and storage bins
Walk in closet organizers that split the space by use
Walk ins are great, but they can still get messy if there is no plan. A simple split makes a big difference.
A clean layout often has:
- One wall for daily clothes
- One wall for shoes and bags
- A section for longer items like coats and dresses
- A hamper or basket zone to keep laundry off the floor
Entry closet organizers that handle coats and gear
UBC weather and daily commuting means entry storage matters. If the entry closet is not planned, coats and umbrellas take over.
Great entry closet features:
- Hooks at the right height for kids and guests
- A shelf for hats and gloves
- A shoe shelf that is easy to clean under
- A spot for bags so they do not end up on the kitchen counter
Small details that make a big difference
This is the part people do not think about at first, but it matters.
Shelf spacing that matches real items
If shelves are too tall, you waste space. If they are too short, you get stacks that fall over. We plan shelf spacing around what you actually own.
Hanging heights that feel normal
Double hanging is great, but only if the spacing is right. A setup that is too tight turns into wrinkled clothes and frustration.
A shoe plan that fits your shoe habits
Some people have ten pairs. Some have fifty. Some have boots that need height. A shoe zone should match your real life, not a showroom.
Space for seasonal stuff
UBC homes often need a place for:
- Winter coats
- Rain gear
- Extra bedding
- Suitcases
- Sports stuff
When seasonal items have a home, you stop playing the “where do I put this now” game.
How the process works with Omid Glass
We keep it simple and practical.
Step 1: Quick call and basic goals
We talk about the closet, your routine, and what feels annoying right now. You can start that on Book A Call.
Step 2: Measure and layout planning
We measure the space and plan a layout that fits your needs. We also look at things like doors, baseboards, and corners that can change how the organizer fits.
Step 3: Pick the setup and finish
Most people choose based on:
- How much hanging vs shelves they want
- If they want drawers
- If they want open shelves or more hidden storage
- The finish that matches the room style
Step 4: Install and clean finish
We install the organizer so it feels built in, not like a quick add on. The goal is that it looks like it was always meant to be there.

Closet organizers for shared spaces and roommates
UBC has a lot of shared living. Closets get shared too, and that can get tricky.
A few simple ideas help:
- Split the closet into left and right zones
- Give each person a shelf set and a hanging set
- Add bins for small items so they do not mix
- Use a shared top shelf for seasonal storage
This kind of setup reduces stress fast. It is not about rules, it is about clarity.
Pairing closet organizer work with other upgrades
Sometimes closet work happens during a bigger refresh. If you are already updating your home, a few glass upgrades can match well.
Popular pairings:
- A bathroom upgrade with custom mirrors from Mirror Work
- A brighter home office feel with Office Doors & Partitions
- A safer stair or deck setup with Glass Railing
- Interior or shower door updates on Glass Doors
You do not need to do it all at once. Even one closet can make the whole place feel more under control.
What affects the price
Closet organizer pricing depends on the layout and what you want in it. Here are the main things that change cost:
- Closet size and shape
- How many sections are needed
- Drawers vs open shelves
- Shoe storage type
- Corner use and special cut areas
- Install access, like tight hallways or stairs
A call and a quick look at the space is usually the best way to get a clear number.
A simple checklist before you book
This helps you figure out what you want, without overthinking it.
- What is the closet used for, daily clothes, coats, kids, or gear?
- Do you fold more, or hang more?
- Do you want a shoe zone that shows pairs, or one that hides them?
- Do you need a spot for bags, luggage, and seasonal items?
- Do you want the closet to look neat even when life is busy?
