We cannot rate Sally highly enough! Sally took the time to completely understand the needs of our family and came up with solutions to ensure the smooth running of our household. The design was functional AND beautiful. Sally and Coline helped us develop our style and ensure our interiors were timeless and cohesive. The entire experience was such a pleasure and we would recommend to all.

I cannot recommend Sally enough. As soon as we started talking I knew that she got me, and that she understood what a glamorous wardrobe would look and feel like. Her design and plans were creative, impeccable and practical. She has designed a wardrobe I love, all of my clothes and items are stunningly presented as well as accessible. The space was on the small side, but she has optimised the potential of the area without making it feel cramped. The finishing touches she recommended also added to the sense of glamour and elegance. I absolutely love my wardrobe, it really has been a dream come true. I am so happy that I chose Sally to work with.

I would highly recommend Sally for anyone that needs an extra set of 'super-skilled' eyes to help them make the most of their existing space. In just a few hours and a bit of repositioning of some key furniture pieces we now have a wonderful flow between our kitchen and living areas. We have had endless comments from visitors about how much bigger our home feels since Sally's visit. In addition to this Sally also gave us some great advice on how to create more space and a less cluttered look on our deck and around our pool area. Such a great experience thank you Sally. :-)

After meeting with a number of Wardrobe Companies to design built-in wardrobes for our master bedroom and being disappointed with what they had to offer, I was so excited (and relieved!) to have found Sally. From the first phone consultation I knew I had finally found someone who would be able to meet our needs. But Sally not only met our needs, she exceeded them! Sally was warm, professional, patient and thorough with great attention to detail. After spending time reviewing (and taking photos) of all of my husband's and my clothes and shoes and asking detailed questions as to what exactly what I was looking for, Sally then expertly designed customised, practical, functional and also stylish wardrobes (and a fabulous shoe cupboard!), in a limited space. Sally then sourced the cabinet makers/installers for us and kept in contact through out and followed up once finished to check we were happy with the result - WE WERE! I cannot recommend Sally highly enough - our bedroom has been completely transformed - it truly is a joy to walk into our bedroom now - I am thrilled with the finished product! Thanks again Sally!

Tom and I both work from home, but we were a room short, so we needed to find a solution where we could have a fully functioning office during work hours that became ‘invisible’ at other times. Also, due to limited storage space in our bedroom, my clothes were boxed-up and not easily accessible. Our large dining/lounge area with high ceilings led us to the idea of having an ‘office in a cupboard’ which needed to be designed in a way that blended into the dining room. That is how we discovered ‘Clever Closet Company’. From the moment Sally entered our home, we felt we had found the right person. Sally really understood our personalities, and how this was reflected in our living environment. She artfully blended Tom and my aesthetics with our needs, while considering the features of our building. Her generosity came through in her willingness to work on a number of design options and finishes until we were all satisfied that we had the best possible outcome. After much patience from Sally and review of a number of design plans, we absolutely love the end result. The display cabinets and bookshelves on each end of our ‘office in a cupboard’ are beautiful, and the office which magically opens and closes actually enhances our dining room. The bedside tables are perfect, and my bedroom cupboard finally looks great and functions! Credit here is also due to the master craftsman that Sally works with. Scott's eye for detail and workmanship is impeccable from the heavy doors that slide and fold so easily to the touchpad light strips. With his fun nature and reliability, Scott also is a pleasure to work with. Both Scott and Sally are passionate about what they do. They care about their clients and the spaces that they create. All up a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. Our cupboards and bedside tables are far more beautiful and functional than we could have imagined! Tom and Anna

Sally was very clever with her design ideas. She was thorough and paid attention to details. We were very happy with the finished product.

Sally was able to do what my husband and I hadn't achieved in the 7 years since we renovated our house - design a wardrobe that suited both of us and that we both love. Thank you Sally for your patience and for so quickly coming to understand all of our quirks. Our master bedroom is now a beautiful retreat

I found the Clever Closet Closet Company online and tentatively approached them about renovating the wardrobe in our one bedroom apartment. It is essentially the only storage we have so required some clever thinking in rejigging the existing space. There wasn't any other options to move, expand etc. The other restriction was budget. Sally and her team proved to be a welcome surprise. I expected that our job would either be too small or priced beyond our budget (as experienced by other cabinet makers we approached). Instead, Sally approached the project and myself as valuable and interesting as her more high budget clients. Nothing was too much trouble. The end result was a genuinely clever design, executed beautifully. Not only has our new wardrobe provided much more storage than originally expected (Sally really knew how to maximise the space), the quality and finish have added a touch of beauty to our bedroom. I highly recommend Sally and her company. A genuine pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

Sally designed our walk-in wardrobe and linen cupboard. She was friendly, professional and really attentive to our needs. She incorporated all the items we asked and made the space stylish and practical. She was able to negotiate with the wardrobe company to have all the things we wanted within our budget. We are really pleased with the results and would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking to renovate their house with style.

I found Sally online when I needed help with renovating our old, completely useless wardrobe interiors in all our bedrooms. She understood what I needed, and gave me the space, storage and layout that I so desperately wanted. She was able to provide great cabinet makers and tradesmen and I am so pleased with the finished result. I would have absolutely recommend Sally to others!

Your knowledge and advice was invaluable during our recent renovation, making it an exciting experience rather than a daunting and indecisive time. Your recommendations were always spot on and the integrity and passion which you share is something that every one of your clients would appreciate.

My wife and I knew what we wanted but had troubles getting the finer details designed from other kitchen consultants. Sally of Clever Closet immediately understood our thoughts and the same day, on site, concept drawings were brilliant. The finished product was perfect.

Sally was brilliant in helping design three wardrobes for our house and we are very happy with the end result. We were pretty clueless and indecisive with what we wanted but Sally helped guide us through the whole process. Sally’s suggestion of putting a credenza in our room was something we never would have thought of but it’s worked out group. We have so much space now. Thank you Sally!

After months of searching for a wardrobe designer who was both practical and stylish, we were thrilled to come across Clever Closet Company as they truly are one of a kind. Sally and Jillian were such a pleasure to work with. They paid such close attention to what it was I wanted from my space and were able to lend their expertise to show me exactly what was not only possible, but most practical and ergonomic. The attention to detail was impeccable and they picked up issues with previous designs we were given that only an expert eye would recognise - and i'm grateful they did. They took time measuring my clothes, counting my shoes and understanding my style, then Sally worked her amazing design magic and the work began. The result was beyond what I had hoped! My wardrobe is absolutely stunning and I dare say I spend more time than I need to in there because its just so pretty! Thankyou so much Sally ! I recommend Clever Closet Company to anyone looking for a truly customized wardrobe, wants something a bit special and who wants to practically maximise the space they have. Thank you Sally !

Sally has been designing wardrobe solutions for a large client base for many years and the minute we sat down, I knew her expertise would deliver me the right outcome. She starts with understanding your lifestyle, your everyday routine, clothes you wear the most, things you reach for most often, how much travel you do. Creating a clear picture plays a big part in functionality. Its also understanding how you prefer to work with your clothes to keep things tidy and cared for. Designing a wardrobe that suits your lifestyle takes an absolute expert. I’m so thrilled with Sally’s smart wardrobe solutions, she produced an effective design that is a joy to live with.

We have recently completed a major renovation and part of the renovation was to update all the wardrobes. Sally was terrific to work with and thoroughly professional . Her knowledge of ergonomics resulted in beautifully functional robes for my whole family.

Sally is extremely professional. She asked the right questions to ensure she understands your needs. I had a walk-in robe replaced and Sally met me at home to understand how I used my current robe. She then designed the new robe taking into account all my needs and Sally also suggested a few extras that might be good. Sally then arranged the quotes and the rest was seamless. I would recommend Sally!

I wasn't happy with what my local regional cabinet were recommending for the walk in robe. They only wanted to fit a standardised system and I wanted a walk in robe that worked if I was going to have to spend some money. It was always left up to me to make recommendations and decide how exactly what I wanted. I didn't want to deal with just order takers. I wanted someone who listened to my needs and helped me meet them. I found what I wanted in Sally and was so glad I got her to design my new walk in robe taking ergonomics and our needs into account. I had a local cabinet maker follow the plan to the best of their ability and it was installed 2 weeks ago. We still delight in using the walk in robe each day.

I asked Sally at Clever Closet in 2017 to design built-in wardrobes to fit beside the fireplace in my bedroom, with a build and fit installation cost of under $10,000. I had several long discussions with Sally about what I needed to store in the wardrobes, and what style I wanted. She provided excellent advice on what types of storage racks and drawers would accommodate my needs, and also on what exterior style would combine my wish for mirrored doors with the Victorian era style of the room. She obtained two quotes from builders that fitted my budget. The result is fantastic, a really stylish addition to the room that enhances its period charm, and that has plenty of the right kind of storage for my needs.

Both Sally and Jill were fantastic to work with. They offered very practical solutions to our storage issues and guided us through a three part renovation. The ladies were able to introduce terrific referrals and we are thrilled with the result. The advice and input at all levels was very professional and we couldn't have done it without Clever Closet Co!!! Thanks ladies.

Sally and Jillian were a pleasure to work with. They spent a long time really listening to my needs, and came back with a range of possibilities for me to consider. They then helped me clarify exactly what I wanted, providing lots of feedback and help throughout the process and great attention to detail. They responded to all my questions within hours. The result is a wardrobe that is exactly what I wanted, and which also looks perfect in the room. The cabinet maker they suggested was also excellent, with quality workmanship.

I was searching for someone to give professional advice about how to solve my individual storage needs for a new walk -in -wardrobe, kitchen and laundry for my house renovation. Sally and Jillian came to my house to meet with me and spent several hours taking detailed notes and measurements. We discussed what I needed to put in these rooms, how I use the space, right down to the very fine details about whether I prefer to hang or fold t-shirts, my preferred hanging space between business shirts and how I sort my washing. Their attention to every detail in this initial consultation paid off with a design that meets our needs and plans that look amazing. Frequent communication and meetings at the end of every planning stage ensured we were all working towards the same goals. I can't wait to see the final result when the renovation is complete.

I invited Sally to come and give me a quote to redesign my wardrobe which was very boring with no imagination at all. Sally has designed the most amazing wardrobe which is not only beautiful but very functional. She took into consideration my height and lifestyle to give me very easy access to hanging and drawer space and three wonderful shoe drawers, but my special detail is my jewellery draw. Would recommend Sally to all my friends.

We hired Sally and Jillian to help us design a new wardrobe for our bedroom after the ugly old one finally broke. They were amazing from the beginning! Firstly, Sally was very clear and open in our phone consultation about the service she offered and costs involved and made sure we were happy to proceed. They were very flexible and came to see us late on a weeknight, taking our 4 year old's behaviour in their stride. Sally instantly came up with ideas we never would have thought of which made much better use of the space we had and which fitted beautifully with the character of our house. The designs were done quickly and Sally and Jillian provided wonderful guidance along the way regarding the fine details including recommendations for a local renovations shop which we never would have discovered ourselves. We have very little spare time in our lives and this made the whole process easy and fun. Helping to organise a quote from a cabinetmaker also saved us the time and stress of shopping around ourselves. Sally and Jillian were wonderful to deal with: they were genuine, friendly and really cared about our project. All work was completed within the estimated timeframe and they were always easy to contact with our random questions. The bedroom has been absolutely transformed and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sally provided the highest quality of service right from the initial consultation over the phone to drawing up and finalising details to the actual completion of the project. Our unit is a talking piece and has redefined our living space. Absolutely worth the investment! I am so glad that we were referred to Sally.

Sally was professional and engaging. I was wanting to convert a spare bedroom to a wardrobe / dressing room, to accomodate my clothes, shoes, Cosmetics and accessories. Sally and her team took the time to establish my requirements and personality to make this room suit me. Sally then designed and obtained quotes, the process was so easy and the company I went with to do my job were also professional and do easy to communicate with. I am so happy with the final result, I love spending time I'm my space. Thank you Sally. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone wanting to repurpose a space or to just improve on a space wanting improvements.

A very big thank you to Sally and Jillian at the Clever Closet Company. I had obtained a number of design concepts from a number of wardrobe manufacturers before engaging the Clever Closet Company, most of whom had offered me conventional wardrobe designs. Sally and Jillian were briefed to design an open wardrobe for a 1 bedroom apartment located in an converted inner city warehouse. The wardrobe was to be located in the bedroom which has 12 foot ceilings and needed to fit in with the warehouse aesthetics of the apartment whilst being highly functional. I wanted to ensure that the wardrobe could house my clothes and shoes in a highly presentable way. Sally and Jillian presented 2 options to me, one being a state of the art open wardrobe with a library ladder, the other being a more affordable elfa storage system. As the apartment is not my 'forever home' I ended up selecting the elfa storage system, and I am ecstatic with the results. The wardrobe was designed to precisely accommodate my storage needs and was delivered and installed seamlessly, the whole process being overseen by Sally and Jillian. I would not hesitate to recommend the Clever Closet Company and indeed have already done so.

From my first conversation with Sally, from Clever Closet Company, I felt very confident that we would achieve a great outcome to our storage problems. The work required to be done was to redesign our walk in wardrobe, create an aesthetically pleasing and functional home office and fitout the internals of our guest room wardrobe. Sally handled all aspects of the design, submitting the plans for quotes, liasing with the people undertaking the job and following up with us both during and after the work was completed. Sally has great attention to detail and had many great ideas that we would not have thought of but she was also very patient and happy to listen to our ideas and give a considered opinion. Two different companies were chosen to undertake the work according to price and suitability to complete the desired specifications. The tradesmen were all extremely professional and we are very happy with their workmanship. It not only looks great but functions brilliantly too. A huge thank you to Sally for her passion and dedication to the whole process. We are absolutely thrilled with our new cabinetry!

I retained Sally and Jillian when I was renovating an upstairs balcony room in a Victorian terrace house. I wanted to combine a sitting room/library/work space. They were collaborative and Sally had some great ideas for managing the space in a relatively small room. I'm really pleased with the bookcase which was custom built. We discussed having a bold colour for the bookcase and it works well. I wouldn't have made that decision on my own. It's been a work in progress but I'm not in a hurry and it has been worthwhile to see the space evolve and change some plans as we go along. We are still finishing other aspects of the room so I have not included photos. Sally also re- designed my built in wardrobe and I love the shoe drawers.

Sally is a warm person and extremely easy to work with. I'd recommend her 100% to anyone needing a new wardrobe design. My experience with her was infinitely better than the one I'd had previously, going to a major brand directly. I needed several wardrobes for awkward attic spaces. I wanted a designer who'd have my best interests in mind for storage and flexibility, rather than trying to sell me product. Sally listened to my needs, advised me independently on what would work best and provided me with drawings I could use to shop around. She worked fast and was always extremely courteous. In the end, I also used an installer she recommended, and their work was superb. I'm thrilled with the end result. It looks fantastic and fits the space perfectly, plus it's adaptable and uses every bit of storage efficiently. I can't recommend Sally more highly.

I required custom made joinery for a window seat and cupboards incorporated. I received an excellent design and the task was competed very professionally and we are thrilled with the company and the completed outcome.

I am delighted to write a review for Sally Hart of the Clever Closet Company. I found Sally on Houzz after purchasing a property with little to no storage. Having lived in a home with built-ins in every bedroom and plenty of cupboards, this was our biggest challenge. I found Sally to be interested, easy to talk to, reliable and professional from the outset. We were fortunate to be able to access our new house some time before we moved in, and this provided an opportunity to meet with Sally and discuss storage solutions. She had some excellent ideas and a wealth of experience in interior and wardrobe design. Her suggestions were creative and practical and I could envisage that the project would add considerable value to our new home. Following our first meeting I gave Sally the go ahead. She promptly prepared detailed drawings and proceeded to arrange for quotations with companies that she recommended from previous successful projects. This groundwork enabled the first project, a wardrobe fit out, to take place just a few days after moving in. I now have a “clever closet”, smartly designed to store items at the right height, in the right place and in the perfect space. Well done Sally for an excellent outcome and Waratah Wardrobes for their skilful construction and installation. Our second project was shelving and cupboards beside a fireplace. Once the design was finalised, Sally sought quotes and the project was underway. Having early access again gave us the opportunity to do a final measure prior to commencing the joinery. The installation was smooth and efficient. Creative Space Construction was delightful to deal with throughout the project and on installation day. They also were reliable and professional and we are thrilled with the result. The shelving and cupboards have provided us with the storage solution we sought and have given the room a massive lift. Not only does the room seem more spacious, the units are stylish and complement the entire living area more than we could have imagined. Thank you Sally, Steve and his team from Creative Space for a job well done!

The best way to describe what Clever Closet Company does is that they are space strategists - and who doesn't want to make the most of the space they have? The biggest problem with innovative companies, is that it sometimes takes a while for people to cotton on and understand the full value and impact of what they offer! Lucky for me I got to know Sally and understood the value of her work. That said, I got way more than I bargained for and the value I got from the planning consultation blew me away. Sally took the time to understand my vision, then worked through each space in the house explaining not just her recommendations but the reasoning behind it. It helped me understand why some spaces just didn't 'feel right' and how to make the most of it. This will save me a great deal of money, grief and will no doubt maximise the enjoyment and value of our home as we work through our renovations and improvements. This is one of the best investments I've ever made to give me a well thought out plan to support my vision, priorities and budget as we complete each stage of our renovations and improvements :-D

Sally met and understood the brief. Create an elegant walk in space that is impressive to look at as well as being a functional space. Her choice of joiner ensured the final look captured the French provincial style evident within the master bedroom. Finishing touches such as glass bevelled edge top to drawers, hand painting wardrobe details ensured quality was not compromised. Thank you Sally.

After a few frustrating months of looking for someone to build a functional and aesthetically pleasing wardrobe in our warehouse apartment I was lucky to come across Sally Hart from Clever Closet here on Houzz. From the beginning Sally was consultative with her approach, she made sure that she got from me exactly what I needed so that she could design the best space for me. Throughout the process Sally kept in touch ensuring that, delivery through to build ran smoothly. I never would have imagined that a wardrobe would have made such a big impact on our lives. We now have a beautifully designed and functional wardrobe, We are now planning our next project with Sally. Thanks Sally for your professional and friendly approach, its been a pleasure having you look after our project. Jacqui and David

My new polytec wardrobe is beautifully designed to my needs, the colour is hazel strata which is very warming and comfortable i want to stay in there all day. The boys from creative space construction did an amazing perfect job and Sallys design has really work well for us, we're really happy with the whole start to finish process.

We engaged Sally to provide an overall bedroom storage concept with a focus on the style and the maximisation of our storage capacity. Sally's approach was, through discussion, to identify our wish list and priorities then contribute her own experience to validate our thoughts or suggest alternative options. From a style perspective she clearly considered our existing décor, however, she was not afraid to introduce other style, colour and finish combinations to ensure that we considered a broad range of opportunities. As the process unfolded Sally's experience became more apparent as she identified a number of layout and finish opportunities that we would not have considered without her input. She provided conceptual layouts for further consideration and after a few further tweaks we were agreed on the final layout. Overall a very relaxed and comfortable process made more so by a confident and detailed professional.

I bought a one bedroom apartment with little storage and little space for storage and the bedroom wardrobe had minimal hanging space. I asked Sally to design a new wardrobe insert, especially for my clothes, with maximum hanging space and storage for my shoes and bags. As well I needed a cabinet in the kitchen to house electricals and some dry food. In the lounge room I wanted an entire wall made into a cabinet to hold the TV, audio system, cutlery, crockery, glassware, vases, linen, towels, books, printer and computer, fold away ironing board and iron, and my art equipment. I am admiring my elegant and practical cabinet as I type this review. The clever design and maximum storage space created by Sally has improved my quality of life and the stylish finish has added value to my apartment. Sally recommended a cabinet maker who was a dream to work with and a top professional. It is my pleasure to write this review and recommend Sally and The Clever Closet Company Margaret Kelly

Sally managed to send me a floor plan within a week although she was going away on vacation, which I was very grateful for. However, the floor plan was recently executed by a company she recommended and unfortunately it has turned out to be a little tighter in space than imagined. I think had I not been in a rush to get the floor plan, and had my request not fallen on the same week Sally was leaving the country, the wardrobe floor plan could have been better designed.

I had the pleasure of working with Sally at Clever Closet Company on quiet a large project in 2015. Sally was professional, and a complete delight during the entire process of the project from start to finish. The ideas, and the organisation of Sally is something that made the day problem free and just over all quiet fun, which I look forward to hopefully experiencing again soon. I would have every confidence in recommending the help and support of the services at Clever Closet Company, it was a great experience! Thank you.

We enagaged Sally to design my wardrobe for our new house. Originally out of the 5 rooms we had planned for it to be placed in another room however thankfully we had Sally on board early on in the construction process and we changed the initial plans. All I had to simply do was to measure what I currently have in space and describe my ideal layout. The rest was up to Sally and then I added a few personal tweeks based on personal preference - e.g. mirror on bench top or golden handles. It was very easy, I was looking for the wow factor but also to be functional, spacious and also look great. It's hard to think about all of the details that need to be consdered for a wardrobe- there are a lot of things to consider that you would never expect and by engaging Sally's services I am sure we got the best outcome. We outsourced the production of the materials from overseas however Sally did the design/measure/concept etc and all wehad to do was propose any personal preferences/requests. It was seamless, easy, cost efficient and also quick. I highly recommend it for anyone who is renovating, building or wanting to re create their wardrobe space engaging the experts is the easy and surprisingly affordable and has an even bigger benefit in the end. All my friends and family love my wardrobe its one of the most favourite rooms in the house, and thanks to Anton's help it now looks more organised and structured and I can actually find and see what I own!

I can't recommend Sally enough. Building a new house is such an exhausting mass of decisions, it was a relief to hand over the wardrobe design to someone else. She completed the design quickly, was flexible in tweaking it so our carpenter could install them and she was generous with her time in answering my many questions.

We were very pleased dealing with Sally at Clever Closet Company. Our walk in wardrobe was a mess and very disorganised. Sally asked intelligent questions and drew up a wardrobe plan for us with plenty of shelves and hanging space. She then obtained quotes for us and once we chose the one we were happy with, it was smooth sailing and cost us no extra than quoted by the installation company. We found Sally very easy to deal with, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend this company.

Sally at Clever Closet Company helped with a range of our storage needs in our new house, in particular she designed the master bedroom wardrobes and credenza and connected us to her suppliers. Sally and her suppliers were efficient, reliable, a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond what they needed to do. The finished product is high quality, highly appropriate for the space and extremely functional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sally or her suppliers.

As a fellow Expert Professional Organiser through AAPO, I have worked with Sally in both volunteer and professional development roles. This has led to a Clever Closet Company & Clutterfly collaboration in situations where clients not only need to declutter and get organised but they need the physical cabinetry solutions. That’s where Clever Closet Company is brilliant. Not only are Sally’s designs beautiful, they are very mindful of the space available as well as the aesthetics. But the pure gold is that she really thinks about the versatility of the wardrobe & cabinetry so that it can be adapted as needs change. For example, a child doesn’t need much hanging space but when they do, the shelves can be removed and there is already a hanging rod there!

Sally gave us invaluable advice on the overall space planning of our master bedroom, with specific planning of our newly added walk-in closet area. This included detailed 2-D and 3-D rendered images of the entire room, with bed, furniture and closet build-ins included. This greatly helped us to visualize, adjust to our preferences and place an order for the joinery with the confidence of knowing in advance how it would all look. The end result is fantastic, we couldn't be happier. Thanks again Sally!

I called on Sally from Clever Closet Company because she seemed to be the person that specializes in balancing storage and design and as an owner of a heritage home in Sydney that balance is what I needed. Organization and cleanliness are very important to me, so I was thrilled with the way the wardrobes work. They have been designed so everything is off the floor. There are no crevices for accumulating dust and I can clean the space very easily. I love how the shelves are recessed back so that I don’t get into a mess. I have had my wardrobes now for nearly a year and they are still perfectly tidy because the design was thought through very well and the space has definitely been maximized. In the study, we wanted office storage, a bookcase and a space to fit overflow storage like suitcases as well as guest clothes. Sally designed cabinetry that brings all of these elements together and in the process created the feature piece of our beautiful study. Our cabinetry will change as our needs change over the years so that we will never fall short of options. Scott and Ben were professional tradesmen in every way, respectful, punctual and eminently qualified in heritage work. I am extremely happy with the whole experience.

My daughter recommended Sally from Clever Closet Co. After discussing styles, colours, fixtures Sally did a design for my consideration. What I received was very professional and exactly what I wanted. I was thoroughly consulted on costs, style and now I am looking at my superb furniture which blends into my existing decor, houses my music, books and jewellery.I truly enjoyed the manner in which Sally operated and I highly recommend her to anyone who values design and construction.

I am so happy to have had Sally recommended to me. She has a unique and innovative mind and the work she has done for me shows that. It has a true perfection. I recommend her totally. Having moved to a small unit with limited wall space Sally of Sally Clever Closets designed a wall of bookcases around and under two windows extending to a cabinet for the TV on the adjoining wall. A brilliant use of space and in a darkish true blue colour , very dramatic .

I was referred Clever Closet Company by a neighbour and was most impressed with Sally's style and service. Sally arrived and was helpful and friendly and quickly established my requirements then measured up for a big built in and side board. She then made suggestions which proved she had listened to my thoughts that were budget appropriate which I appreciated. The plans arrived and it was great to see the ideas starting to take shape. Sally then sent the drawings / brief out to her preferred suppliers and I chose essentially on price but only because the brief was so clear that it allowed me to compare like for like and make a decision on material that suited my requirements and budget. The process of being able to use a professional to measure up and complete detailed drawings with future proof ideas drawn on a wealth of experience was a very compelling proposition for me and I was happy to pay for that as it gave me transparency on the next stage of the process getting quotes from external suppliers I felt in control through the whole process and I am so pleased with the end result as it was exactly what I expected on time and on budget!

Decorating space, can be a difficult but rewarding project especially if you live in an apartment in a converted 1903 hospital building which boasts wide hallways, heritage features and 14 foot high ceilings. During the past 12 years all of our decorating issues have been addressed EXCEPT ONE: our main bedroom wardrobe...a space which was originally an ensuite bathroom but now an impractical wardrobe and storage area. Approximately 12 months later, after extensive investigation and planning the WOW factor has been achieved, this is because of Sally Hart and her enquiring mind and her professional and enthusiastic "team". Mr. Google introduced me to Sally and from our very first conversation I knew I had found the right person to achieve what my Husband and I an envisioned. We now have a walk in closet with 14 foot high ceilings, well organized storage, and hanging areas. Sally deserves 10 gold stars for her perseverance with our project.

Testimonial: Sally Hart: Clever Closet Company Sally Hart has been thoughtful and utterly professional in her design of my bespoke closets and bookshelves. Warm and open, with a complete willingness to listen yet full of her own excellent ideas about the design of my closets Sally not only came out to measure but advised me about my living space more generally. She took the time to question and listen to me in order to discern my needs. Additionally and unbelievably, Sally herself obtained three quotes for the work I needed done. This saved me a huge amount of time and effort. I love Sally’s collaborative approach. Whilst Sally’s obvious expertise in design meant she had the major say about the closets, I took ownership about which company to employ and in the details of the design such as the knobs on the closet cupboards and drawers, the trim on the top of the closets and I had input about the look of the outside of the closets. I cannot speak highly enough of Sally’s expertise, professionalism, refreshing down to earth attitude, friendliness and hard work. Her attention to detail and ensuring that I really did get what I asked for went far above and beyond what I expected. Sally’s elegant and spacious closets have freed up two extra rooms. One room was previously empty and the other was used as storage. I have two more spaces now for daily living and extra value added to my home as an asset. Sally has helped tremendously in turning what was once my house into my home. I have already recommended Sally to family, neighbours and friends. They too have loved her approach and the resulting closets, cupboards and shelving. I make no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Sally Hart’s Clever Closet Company.

We rang Sally after endless frustration with mainstream wardrobe companies not listening to what we wanted. Our brief was wardrobe solutions & create a better desk/shelf area in our front entrance. Sally was amazing. Completely understood the brief on what we were after. Listened & has great ideas. She is highly experienced & a pleasure to work with. It is so refreshing to work with someone with her level of experience who didn’t spend tell us what we couldn’t do. Sally is completely solutions orientated. We would highly recommend Sally.

Sally has been a wonderful support in designing the cabinetry for our new house. We had two walk-in-wardrobes designed, along with a built-in-bookcase. We are so EXTREMELY happy with the design process, Sally's recommendations of professionals to work with and her lovely way of checking in with us after the whole process. We cannot recommend Sally enough when it comes to getting what you want in a closest or bookshelves. Thank you Sally!

We had 5 built in wardrobes with standard shelf and hanging space; some had air conditioning ducts running through them, and did not provide enough storage. Sally came and spent time with each of us to work out our storage needs and then designed wardrobes for each space that maximised our storage. The contractors recommended and organised by Sally to build our new wardrobes did a great job and we are very happy with the final product.

I employed Sally from Clever Closet Company to design my walk-in-robe. I’d been living in chaos by my standards for quite some time and had been acquiring more and more items over a period of 20 years. Firstly I have to say Sally was extremely friendly, courteous and professional on the phone and upon meeting her in person, these qualities were confirmed. After looking at the wardrobe and discussing what our needs were from a makeover, she came up with a plan to suit both my husband and myself. My brief to her was that as an allergy sufferer it needed to be as dust-proof as possible. Sally suggested a combination of open plan and cupboard doors at the top for less used items. I appreciated the idea she had of having things at eye-level whilst at the same time having different items of clothes still separated by compartments, enabling easier visibility. I also love my jewelry drawers and shoe compartments, enabling me to discard the boxes making everything more visible. I have found that if things are hidden away preventing you from seeing them, you don’t wear them. Once the job was completed, Sally’s follow-up service was excellent, even suggesting that after I settle in to my new wardrobe, if there were any changes needed, she would be more than happy to accommodate. I now have a very functional wardrobe, which I am very happy with and all thanks to Sally and her team. I would highly recommend using the Clever Closet Company to anyone building or contemplating a storage makeover. Kathryn

We contacted Sally from Clever Closets because we were renovating a small apartment with no storage space. Together with Sally we designed a storage closet against the back wall of the living room. The mirrored doors made the room seem larger. Sally was a pleasure to work with and designed a space that ideally suited our needs. Her carpenter contractor produced a top notch finished closet. When one of the doors came with a tiny crack, it was replaced immediately with no hassle.

Hello everyone. thank-you for reading my review of the Brilliant, fantastic and superb company Clever Closet Company. The ideas, storage solutions, styling advice, furniture re-arrangements as well as alternative furniture options, to use in our bedroom including my little study nook offered to me by Sally Hart is worth more than 100 tonnes of gold plus more. My study area and the changes implemented has offered so much more space and quality energy in this space. Sally is very approachable, kind, supportive, and understands her clients needs and their budget limits in regards to any area of interior renovations. Sally provides sound detail and understanding of what needs to be done quickly in regards to built in wardrobes. Sally's suppliers and the materials used with wardrobing are of excellent quality with first class presentation and style. I recommend the Clever Closet Company to everyone who requires any built in wardrobes or office makeovers. Sally Hart is the number one in the business.!!

sally Hart from Clever Closet Company is a true creative. As a design professional myself, I am constantly impressed by Sally's attention to detail and ability to interpret her clients' needs through simple yet elegant storage solutions. I have no hesitation in recommending Clever Closet Company for any storage issue you have.

Sally was extremely thoughtful with our bedroom storage situation. Rather than suggesting a simple additional built-in, that would have made the space look smaller, she came up with a cost-effective way of redesigning our existing built-ins, and even hooked us up with a very competent trade person to do the actual job. The whole thing came in significantly under our budget and we are very happy with the finished product. We now have plenty of storage, and the room looks much nicer!

I used Sally to redesign my walk through wardrobe which needed updating. She was fantastic at looking at our individual requirements and adjusting the height of items to suit us (we are quite tall). She came up with some great ideas to use the space that I hadn't considered and now that we are using the wardrobe i can better appreciate how good those ideas were. The quality of the work from the cabinet maker she uses is great and I would highly recommend him too. My only negative would be that for old houses, like mine, there are often unforeseen problems when cupboards are removed and they could benefit from having a close relationship with a handyman who better understands what is needed when told "take out the existing cupboards". This would have shortened the process for me considerably instead of going backwards and forwards between the handyman and cabinetmaker for a couple of weeks.

We are building a new project home and I had 4 built-in robes and one walk-in robe (relatively small) to fit-out - I saw the Clever Closet website and sent a message. I was after someone who could help me design the best possible layout for each robe, given the restrictions in size and my own storage/hanging needs/desires in each robe. I had already contacted one or two of the larger wardrobe companies but none of them seemed to be able to offer much assistance in the design department (and most of them said "we can't assist until the house is built and we can come and do final measurements"). Sally contacted me almost immediately. We had a long chat and then I provided her with my own mock-up drawings of how I thought each robe should be/our storage needs. She then went to work and performed her magic !! She was able to point out all the problems with the layouts I had drawn, and then show me how I could maximise the space in each robe and, in particular how I could make my walk-in robe feel as roomy as possible (given it's very small size). Her suggestions were all so practical and things I would never have thought of on my own! I was absolutely blown away by the final drawings and her service/knowledge - all at a very reasonable price. Sally was also able to recommend quality tradespeople to do the fit-outs for me. I can't wait to see the final results (once the house is finished and the wardrobes installed). I now have more practical/usable space than I thought would be humanly possible inside my robes (2 of which are only 1265mm wide). I would highly recommend Sally & Clever Closet to anyone who needs help with their wardrobe layouts. I will certainly be using her services again in the future for some more built in cabinetry once we move into our new home!

I engaged Sally from Clever Closet Company to design the fit-out of a new walk-in-wardrobe in the main bedroom. From the first meeting onsite Sally was focussed on what I wanted to achieve with the space including the design aesthetic and she was able to suggest practical design and finish solutions. Drawings were turned around quickly and once approved Sally was able to source high quality tradespeople to build the wardrobe within my budget constraints. The final product looks fantastic and it is a very practical space. I am a very happy customer.

The Clever Closet Company worked hard while I revised the brief for our dressing room three times. Sally understood the aesthetic and practical requirements for our space and came up with something that allowed us to reflect the mid-century origins of the house in a modern and practical framework. Her recommended suppliers worked hard to ensure the finished product was as seamless as the drawings (not easy when there isn't a straight line in the house). We particularly like the fact that everything floats from the back walls, making the space as big and airy as it can be. She understood exactly how much hanging space and shoe space we really needed. We've ended up with twice as much storage as we had previously, and yet I can find everything in a moment.

I am absolutely delighted with the new robes installed in my children's rooms. It makes my heart sing to open those door and see everything so well organised and accessible. No more excuses for messy cupboards, there is a place for everything! Sally designed robes that not only meet the needs of my children now but have the flexibility to be adapted as the needs of my children change. Her detailed drawings enabled me to know exactly what I was getting prior to installation.

After going through many different quotes for our built-in wardrobe we were unable to find someone that had the right balance of design, quality and price. Fortunately we finally met with Sally from Clever Closet Company and were very happy from the outset with her design approach and ability to assess & meet our needs for our wardrobe. She made great suggestions for maximising space and displayed constant patience with my rather fastidious approach to getting the wardrobe we wanted. Scott & Ben who quoted, measured and installed our wardrobe were fantastic - high quality work, friendly, always on time & 100% professional. Sally & Scott were both great at communicating and working through any key decisions that needed to be made as well as ensuring that we could get a very well-built wardrobe for our budget. In the end, we got a wardrobe that we are extremely happy with and we would certainly recommend Clever Closet Company to anyone who values practical design, great quality and reasonable prices.

Clever Closet Company was recommended to us by a friend who recently had their home fitted with wardrobes and a walk in closet. Our existing wardrobes which although large, were not serving our needs. The wardrobes were always a mess, things were hard to find and we didn’t have enough storage space. From the time we called Clever Closet Company we were at ease with Sally’s obvious expertise in storage design and genuine interest in serving the needs of our family. So much so that we also asked Sally to review our laundry, which again was large, but not working or flowing well as a utility area for a large and busy family. Sally carefully listened to our concerns, assessed our storage requirements and designed layouts for each room which were tailored to the individual needs. The designs have resulted in all of the space being utilised in an efficient way, increased our wardrobe capacity and created layouts which are much easier to keep tidy. Now we can find everything. Sally designed additions to our laundry that blended sympathetically with our existing finishes so that the transformation is seamless and the result is a much more pleasant and workable laundry. We are in the building industry, so appreciate high quality workmanship. The whole process from inception to completion was completely professional, and at the same time delivered with personal service and dedication. The improvements have inspired us so much that we are now building an addition purely for the sake of building our dream dressing room, which of course Sally is designing. We have no hesitation in recommending Sally and her business.

Sally at Clever Closet Company was able to visit our home, understand what we needed provide solutions and options and then went way and designed closet/storage space for three rooms. Our challenge was that we had been overseas for a number of years and needed new storage space catering for our clothes, shoes, handbags, belts, coats, bed linen. towels etc without disturbing the existing design and layout. Sally's designs were just great - functional but slick! On signing off the design Chris came on site and built the closets. Chris's great strength is his attention to detail complimenting Sally's design. I highly recommend Clever Closet Company

Our project completed today and it really looks tremendous . The designs exceeded our expectations. The family room is now a music room and an easy spacious area to sit and talk or watch tv. The sitting room feels very adult and yet relaxing. The designs are very much in keeping with the era of the house (not a small feat for an 80's Home). The additional touches like the antique mirror and dimmer lights are superb. The designs for the children’s room are exceptional. The new shelves should be advertised as a ‘range’. It has given us another 5 years of use out of both children’s otherwise “too small” rooms. As always Sally and Jillian are both so professional and pleasant to work with and always spend the time to listen carefully and deliver on our needs right down to the smallest detail.

The design options were extensive and detailed and the Client Brief was always at the forefront of all options presented. The communication and follow up were great and the Client was happy with the final product. I would highly recommend using Clever Closet Company.

I worked with Sally in late 2013 on a collaboration for one of her clients. Sally was an expert from the start - professional in coordinating our meeting and briefing the client and myself properly prior to our joint initial consultation. During the session, we used our complementary skills to bring the client to a clear action plan. Sally was able to guide the conversation around how we could best organise the physical space of the client’s home office; taking into consideration the needs of multiple family members, working styles and various paper needs. If you have a vision for your space, but are just not sure where to begin, Sally can bring you throughout the process with ease!

The shelving in the built-in cupboards in all four bedrooms, which Chris constructed, look fantastic. The excellent craftsmanship will not only look good for many years to come but it also has created a much more efficient use of space and it is flexible so we can change things as the children grow up. We can finally properly unpack our things and settle into our new home. A huge thank you must also be made to Sally for all her advice and assistance in preparing the design! I cannot recommend the Clever Closet company more highly!
