Sifting through overflowing drawers, wrestling with clothes packed onto a single sagging rod, and losing precious time to disorganization. You're not alone. Many New Jersey homeowners feel the same frustration—the feeling that "I only wear the clothes in the front because those are the ones I see."

Navigating unique architecture. We have specialized expertise in NJ homes, from historic colonials with plaster walls to modern high-rises in Jersey City.
The 1915 Montclair Home Transformation.
- The Challenge: A client in Montclair, NJ, purchased a beautiful 1915 home with charming architecture but "very little closet space." One room featured a narrow, "unusable 14-inch wide bedroom closet" and "tricky soffit and vent issues," creating a seemingly impossible storage situation.
The Modernino Solution: Our designer, Kellie, embraced the architectural quirks. The process involved:
- Precision 3D Mapping: Using laser measurement tools, we created a precise digital twin of the room, accounting for non-square angles and soffit depths.
- Creative Reconfiguration: Kellie's 3D design proposed converting a tiny adjacent bedroom into a full walk-in closet, integrating the soffit into the cabinetry for a seamless, built-in look.
- Custom Ventilation: The design incorporated a custom channel to reroute airflow from the vent, ensuring functionality without compromising the closet's structure.
The Result:
A "dream walk-in closet" that felt original to the historic home. The new custom closet system increased usable storage capacity by over 400%, eliminated all visible clutter from the master bedroom, and created a serene, organized sanctuary that "was even better than I imagined."
"We were blown away by Kellie's creativity and expertise in navigating the tight, older dimensions of our newly purchased 1915 home. She turned a tiny bedroom into our dream walk-in closet!"

Your Questions, Answered with Transparency.
This is the most common question, and the honest answer is: it depends on size, materials, and complexity. However, unlike competitors who give vague ranges, we can provide clear benchmarks. A simple reach-in closet system might start around $2,000, while a larger, more elaborate walk-in closet can range from $6,000 to $25,000+. The infamous "$80K quote" is an extreme outlier, typically involving exotic materials and extensive custom millwork. Our free 3D design consultation provides a detailed, itemized quote with no obligation.
Absolutely. While you may not recoup 100% of the cost like a kitchen remodel, high-quality, organized storage is a massive selling point for homebuyers in the competitive NJ market. It can significantly speed up your sale and increase perceived value. We focus on designs that blend timeless style with flexible functionality, maximizing buyer appeal.
We specialize in it. Our design process begins with precise laser measurements to account for uneven walls, floors, and ceilings common in historic homes. Our designers are experts at integrating systems around existing crown molding, baseboards, and radiators. Our installers use specialized techniques for plaster walls to ensure a secure and flawless fit.
The primary differences are density, durability, and finish. While systems like IKEA Pax are excellent budget-friendly, modular options, they typically use a lower-density particle board core. Modernino uses industrial-grade, high-density materials with premium, scratch-resistant melamine or thermofoilA durable vinyl laminate that is heat-fused to an MDF core, creating a seamless, resilient surface that's easy to clean. finishes and backs it with a lifetime warranty. Our systems are custom-cut to fit your space perfectly, eliminating the gaps and filler panels common with modular systems.
It means we treat your home with the same care we would our own. Our team lays down protective coverings for your floors and furniture. All cutting is done in our facility or outside to eliminate sawdust in your home. At the end of the installation, we vacuum the entire work area and wipe down all surfaces, leaving you with nothing but a beautiful new closet system.
From your initial consultation to final installation, the typical timeline is 4-6 weeks. This allows for collaborative design revisions and precision manufacturing in our NJ facility. Once manufacturing is complete, the on-site installation is remarkably fast—most projects are completed in a single day.
While not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Understanding exactly what you need to store—how many shoes, the length of your dresses, your collection of sweaters—allows our designers to create a truly efficient and personalized custom closet system. We even offer a "Pre-Design Decluttering Guide" to help you through this crucial first step.
