Every year, The Container Store has a HUGE Elfa sale. We do a different project around our house when this time of year rolls around. If you’re within driving distance of a Container Store, I’m sure you’ve heard of Elfa. If you have never heard of Elfa, let me show you just how amazing it is!
Elfa is The Container Store’s version of customizable shelving and drawer systems. It can be used in many rooms in your home – like your office, kitchen, and garage, however the most common place you’ll find an Elfa storage system is in the bedroom or closet.
There are many closet organization systems out there, but we love Elfa the best because:
- It involves less damage to your walls compared to other shelving.
- Elfa’s track and rail system lets you customize your closet and storage needs. That’s right, no two closets are the same.
- The drawer systems are a life saver. No more clunky dresser drawers. These drawers systems are customizable to your needs.
There are many different styles and finishes that you can choose from when you’re going the Elfa route. White, Grey, and Metallic.
You can either go in to a store and work with a designer or you can use the online design center to help you get started. The in-store Elfa employees are SO easy to work with and we have always gone that route. I’m sure the online design center is just as easy to use and design. The best part? They offer an installation service if you aren’t a DIY-er.
We chose to do our master closet this year as our Elfa project. I’m SO glad we did. Before installing Elfa into our master bedroom closet, I hated walking in there. Everything was so unorganized, I couldn’t find things, and it was just flat out depressing. Know the feeling? Take a look at where we started.
We went with our closet measurements to The Container Store and worked with an Elfa specialist who designed our closet to meet our needs. It was so easy and so quick! The order was placed that evening, and we picked it up a few days later, ready to install. All the pieces were cut and ready to go.
So, we got to work. We brought everything out of the closet. Ya’ll, this was the most overwhelming part. I’m an organized person by nature and seeing everything come out of the closet and onto our bed and all over our bedroom almost had me in hives.
But, look at what just a couple hours work did! Look how much better our closet looks! I can “walk in” to my walk in closet. Better yet, both Joe and I can walk in and be in there at the same time!
We have more hanging and shelving space, as well as the handy dandy pull out drawers for our shoes, and my favorite is the jewelry organizer drawer. We already had a drawer system for our clothes that we kept folded so that was easy to incorporate into the design of our closet. It’s so nice to have it all in one space now.
We are so happy with how our closet turned out! What room or space would you choose to organize with an Elfa system if you could? Also, if you have any questions about this process or Elfa products, feel free to ask in the comments of this post.
