With customization at the forefront of the design industry, people are leaning into elevating their everyday lives through functional, luxurious design. The closet in particular has gone from an afterthought in homes to a space that can be fully customized to maximize space, storage and convenience.
“A lot of clients are coming to us because they want their closet to be tailored to their needs,” Brent Hugus, owner of eggersmann Scottsdale, says. “I think more and more people are realizing their wardrobe can be customized similarly to how a kitchen is.”

While eggersmann is renowned for its high-end, innovative kitchens crafted from top-of-the-line German materials, eggersmann USA also offers whole-home solutions through its partnership with Schmalenbach Design. This collaboration brings fully customizable wardrobes and luxury closet systems to the U.S. market, setting a gold standard in design, functionality and craftsmanship.
“People are constantly in their wardrobes,” Hugus says, “Being able to have everything super organized and efficiently displayed is paramount.”
One of Hugus’ more recent projects was in Chandler, this closet boasts a light ambiance, opening the space. White oak flooring and ivory cabinetry flush with the wall provide ample storage for the client without making the space feel overwhelming and cluttered.

“The client wanted a sense of luxury when anyone walked in,” Hugus says. “To achieve this, we placed the watch winders and glass cabinetry that showcases her handbags in direct line of sight from the closet’s entrance.”
Glass cabinetry with ambient lighting highlights the client’s cultural wardrobe collection while multiple concealed safes hold the client’s valuables. Two hidden racks slide out of the wall and pivot out to reveal the client’s scarf collection, further emphasizing the extent of innovation, creativity and problem solving.

Other features, such as the illuminated sunglass, rotating watch display and the leather ottoman, enhance the space’s opulence, bringing a wow factor to those who walk in.
“The tufted leather seating area really elevates the space,” Hugus says. “It adds a lot of character to the closet and softens things up. We offer a lot of tufting and leather options for our clients. It’s a really nice element to add to the space to bring it to the next level.”
Another project, which is equally as extravagant, fosters a more masculine aesthetic. “The client was particular about how he wanted his clothes to hang and how he wanted clean, open shelving. We created an immaculate closet and spent time dialing in on all the details for him,” Hugus says.
This closet primarily focuses on the client’s impressive shoe collection with bright linear lighting to showcase his shoes to their best advantage. Leather drawer and cabinet handles reflect eggersmann USA’s attention to detail, allowing a subtle and unexpected detail to shine through in the design.
Other notable features include floor-to-ceiling storage cabinetry, a glassed section showcasing the client’s suits and luxury valuables, custom height drawers (down to the millimeter) and a movable shirt rack for the client’s everyday clothing.
“We designed a pull-down rod for his everyday tops, allowing him to easily lower the rod to access his shirts,” Hugus explains.
Both of these closets are prime examples of the possibilities that can be achieved when you have a team of experienced and knowledgeable individuals in your corner, advocating for excellence and surpassing client expectations.
