Walk-In Closets designed, built and installed for Toronto — narrow Edwardian houses, strict condo boards, and a serious indoor humidity swing. Our Toronto showroom is on Dundas Street West.
An Ontario closet has to hold a full winter as well as a full summer, and that is a much bigger inventory than a warm-climate market: heavy coats, boots, layers and sports gear that all need somewhere to live for half the year. Planning against that seasonal double-inventory is the whole job, and it usually means more long-hanging than a Florida closet and dedicated deep storage for what is out of season.
The condominium stock is enormous and the buildings run strict rules: certificates of insurance, booked service elevators, protected corridors, restricted hours and, in many buildings, no moves at weekends. The install is scheduled around the building.
Heated winters take indoor humidity very low, and summers bring it back up. Solid timber elements are detailed for that swing, and a panel that was fine in a Florida house is not automatically fine here.
Toronto's older houses are narrow, tall and rarely square, with kitchens at the back and basements that matter. Site templating is standard, and a run that measures true on the plan will not be true on the wall.
None of this changes by location. It is the standard every walk-in closet leaves the shop to, Toronto included.
A closet is a storage problem with a fixed inventory: a specific number of long-hanging pieces, short-hanging pieces, folded items, shoes and bags. Designed against that inventory it works for years. Designed as an even grid of rails and shelves it is full within a season, which is why the first conversation is a count rather than a drawing.
Soft-close throughout, drawers rather than doors at low level, and hardware rated for the number of cycles a dressing room actually sees.
We start from what actually has to go in — long, short, folded, shoes, bags — rather than filling the room with equal shelves.
Lighting sits in the shelving and behind the hanging rails, so what you are looking at is lit rather than shadowed by your own body.

We work throughout Toronto, including Forest Hill, Rosedale, The Annex, Leaside and Etobicoke's Kingsway. The housing here is Edwardian and Victorian houses in the old city, post-war homes in Leaside and Etobicoke, and a very large condominium stock, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Toronto showroom is at 2967 Dundas Street West. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
