Custom Walk-In Closet in Cypress Cay: Updating a 1990s Parkland Closet
Can the walk-in closet in a 1990s Parkland home work like a new one? Yes. In the walk-in closet shown here, we replaced the original shelving with a full custom system: double-hang and long-hang sections on both sides, a center tower with five drawers and open shelves above, and a full-height shelving column for shoes and folded clothing. The room did not get bigger. It just started working. Since the start of 2025, our team has completed about 50 projects in Parkland. Why Cypress Cay Closets Are Different Cypress Cay is a small, gated community in eastern Parkland, built between 1994 and 1996, with two community pools, tennis courts and a basketball court. Many homeowners here are updating homes that are now about 30 years old, and the closets are often the last room to catch up. Most still have the single rod and wire shelf they came with, which leaves the upper wall and the corners empty. A 1990s walk-in closet also has its own quirks: deep corners, a ceiling light and air vent that need room around them, and walls that are rarely perfectly square. That is why a custom design matters more here than in a new home. The Project This family wanted a primary closet that was easy to keep organized every day. Our designer planned the space around the center wall so it is the first thing you see when you open the door. - A center tower with five full-width drawers and brushed bar pulls, with open shelves above for sweaters and bags - Double-hang sections on the left and right for shirts, slacks and jackets - A long-hang section for dresses and coats - A full-height adjustable tower for shoes, folded clothing and accessories - Clean white finish with bronze rods and a base that sits flush with the floor Every shelf is adjustable, so the closet can change as the family's needs change. The system is built to handle South Florida humidity, and installation was handled by our own in-house team, typically in three to five days.
