How did you get started in design?

After spending decades as a TV news journalist, I decided to follow my passion for creating beautiful custom closets. It started after we designed and built two of our custom homes and I discovered how I loved trying to maximize closet spaces!

The skills I developed as a journalist, listening and attention to detail, made design and construction a great fit!

Today we have a full-service design, construction, and installation firm with electricians and painters as part of our team.

“Palmer’s heavy-duty closet rods with concealed flanges are simply the best on the market! Our clients love the satin brass finish and they can hold the weight of a lot of clothes!”

How do you approach the creative process and problem-solving in design?

As a closet designer, I stand in the space and layout what I think will be beautiful and will truly function for our clients. It’s always a fun challenge when faced with complicated elevations and corners, to come up with a plan that maximizes every inch in the closet!

What aspects of Palmer products complement your brand style?

The closet rods are sleek, and in a satin brass finish, so stunning. The concealed screw flanges presents a clean look inside the wardrobe boxes.

For longer closet rods, Palmer adds internal stainless steel sleeving so the rods don’t sag under the weight of the clothing!

How do you ensure the design meets the clients' expectations?

After taking inventory of our client’s closet, we then work up scaled CAD drawings. We have sample custom outfitted closets with lighting, rods, and the latest trends to show clients our product.

Finally, we will build them sample woodwork for approval before construction.

The Couture Closet builds dream closets for homes. These images feature the Edge Closet Rods in brass finish.

“As a custom closet designer we look to introduce the latest trends and best products to finish out our custom built closets. We get inspiration from fellow designers, magazines, and boutiques.”
