Custom closet design in Austin, Texas – we wanted the closet underneath the stairs to be fully functional and maximize as much storage and organization in our new house.

@austinclosetdesign is a local Austin custom designer focused on high quality materials and custom millwork and can work with closets of any size!

Katie of Swann Closet Design does complimentary consultations and showed us many samples and stains for us to choose from.

We wanted this closet to be customized for office organization – paperwork, packaging, camera equipment & more. Tailored to our lifestyle and space!

💧 When we were building our home, one of the upgrades we knew we wanted to do was a full home water filtration system. @aquasana Rhino Chloramines Max Flow with Salt Free water conditioner and UV reduces 97% of chlorine at 2X the flow rate! As our family grows, we wanted to have the best water at home - to cook, drink, shower, bathe & garden ♥️

Which means - less lead, chlorine, pesticides, and more! #campkokoresidence

💧55% off all systems + free shipping on orders $49 or more with code: KOKO55

And the UV Filter powerfully sterilizes 99.99% of bacteria and viruses and 99% of cysts.

🌞 ready for patio season - for all the backyard bbqs, college football and movie nights! We wanted furniture that could withstand the Texas heat and be weather resistant - and we’ve used @burrow for the past several years! #campkokoresidence

Someone pinch me because I can’t believe this is our new living room at #campkokoresidence! 26’ ceilings with custom windows meant we needed window coverings so we got custom drapery from @theshadestore. What do you think of the layered ripple fold drapery white linen and posh velvet in dark green?!

We’ve used The Shade Store at our previous home that was a builder grade house - and what a difference it made! Custom roman shades and drapery elevated the home.

Visit your local The Shade Store showroom for a complimentary consultation and order free swatches!
