Maybe it’s the perpetual back-to-school energy, but September always feels like the moment to get the house in check and recommit to routines.
The good news? California Closets has clever solutions to take the friction out of your day.
- Here are the five spaces they recommend investing in to make fall routines a breeze—from school-to-sports sprints, endless birthday parties and everything in between.
1. Garage
The possibilities: Garage storage with versatile hooks holds bikes, helmets and exercise gear. Built-ins corral bulky sports bags and equipment.
The effect: Grabbing gear becomes simple, and it doesn’t hurt to give it a place to air out.
2. Mudroom
The possibilities: This is the spot where you drop everything and trade outside chaos for the comfort of home. A bench for pulling shoes on and off, plus a home for backpacks and lunch boxes gives this transition the support it deserves.
The effect: Essentials have a home instead of a pile. No more searching for that backpack when it’s time to get on the bus.
3. Coat Closet
The possibilities: Hooks, closed drawers and vertical wall storage keep everyone organized year-round. Adjustable shelves flex with the seasons, split hanging sections stay reachable for all ages, open shelving below the bench tucks shoes away and upper cabinets stash hats and gloves.
The effect: Everything you need for each seasonal shift has a home within reach.
4. Laundry
The possibilities: A deep, integrated countertop makes sorting and folding easy—and can double as a gift-wrap station—hanging space lets delicates air-dry, and sleek storage keeps cleaning products close but out of sight.
The effect: A well-designed laundry space lightens the load—and makes chores a little more enjoyable.
5. Built-Ins for Kids
The possibilities: Small but mighty, smart built-ins invite kids into the day-to-day. Think: Cubbies tucked into the side of the stairs for shoes and supplies, a window bench that makes reading a treat or built-in laundry baskets that make sure dirty uniforms don’t end on the floor.
The effect: Thoughtful spaces build independence and help kids pitch in around the house.
Your home should make routines easier—not more complicated.
