Your Ft Thomas, KY Home Has Character, and Your Custom Closets & Garage Storage Systems Should Too
Known as the City of Beautiful Homes, Ft Thomas, KY has more than 160 houses that are at least 100 years old. The city sits on a bluff above the Ohio River, and many of those older floor plans date to a time before walk-in closets and two-car garages were common. Add four full seasons of coats, boots, and yard tools, and your closets and garage fill up fast. With custom closets and garage storage systems, you can keep the charm of your home and still give your things a set place.
Older homes with odd corners and tight spaces are familiar ground for Distinctive Closets & Garage, and we’ve been designing closet and garage systems since 2005. Our designers also train with Organizers Direct, where we’re an authorized dealer, and yearly dealer meetings keep our designs and install methods current for your project. Local custom home builders trust us with their closets too, and we bring the same skill to older and newer homes across Campbell County, KY.

Most clutter doesn’t stop at the bedroom closet, though. Our work also reaches into garages, pantries, laundry rooms, and home offices. All the wood cabinetry we install comes with a lifetime guarantee, so if a problem shows up with normal use, we’ll fix or replace it for free. Take a look at the options below to see which spaces in your home could use a fresh plan.

Older Layouts, Newer Storage
Odd-sized closets, busy pantries, and crowded garages each need a different kind of system. Below, you’ll find the products we design and install, along with what each one handles best:
Clutter tends to travel, with sports gear drifting from the garage into a hall closet and mail piling up near the pantry. Once we see how those spaces connect, we can plan storage that keeps each item in the room where you use it.
What Life on the Bluff Means for Your Storage
Named for a former army post on the hills above the Ohio River, Ft Thomas, KY has homes, slopes, and parks that each shape what you need to store. We plan around them in a few key ways, starting with the houses themselves:
- Arts and Crafts Era Homes: Much of the city’s housing dates to the 1920s, with bungalows and Tudors that show Arts and Crafts and German influences. We choose closet finishes that complement the original woodwork and fit each system inside the closet you already have, so the update suits the home’s style.
- Hillside Lots and Lower-Level Garages: Hillside lots here sometimes put the garage on the lower level, where it opens into the basement and the rest of the house. Garage cabinets along the walls keep tools and bins clear of the walkway inside, so the trip from your car to the kitchen stays easy.
- Trail and Park Gear: Tower Park’s mountain bike trails and the disc golf course and dog park at Highland Hills Park give you good reasons to head outside. Muddy helmets, discs, and leashes need one spot to land, and a mudroom by the back door or a garage cabinet set aside for gear keeps them out of the hallway.
Generic plans miss details like these, so we design each system around the space in front of us. When you share how your household uses its rooms, we can shape storage around both the house and your routine.
Features Picked for Real Rooms and Real Gear
Closet doors and drawers get opened many times a day, while garage cabinets carry heavy tools and wet gear. Read on to see how our custom closets and garage storage systems stand up to that wear, plus the coverage that backs them:

- Thermally Fused Laminate Surfaces: Our closet systems and garage cabinets are both built with thermally fused laminate, which gives them a scratch- and stain-resistant surface. Garage cabinets also get banded edges and moisture-resistant panels, which hold up when wet boots or a dripping car share the space.
- Wall-Mounted Garage Cabinets: With each garage cabinet mounted on the wall, the floor stays open for parking, sweeping, and moving around. Cleanup is easier too, since you can mop or hose down the floor underneath without moving a thing.
- Full-Extension Drawers: Socks in your closet and screws in your garage stay in plain view when a drawer opens all the way. We install full-extension drawers in both spaces, so you can reach the very back without digging.
- Adjustable Shelving: Paint cans and power tools can sit together on one level, since each shelf in our garage cabinets holds 100 pounds. Adjustable shelves also show up in our pantries and laundry rooms, so you can move them as your supplies change.
- Soft-Close Hinges: Closet doors with soft-close hinges won’t slam, even when kids are in a hurry. In the garage, our steel hinges also open to 110 degrees, which makes bins in the back corners easier to reach.
- Lifetime Guarantee: Our lifetime guarantee covers all the wood cabinetry we install in your closets and garage. Ask about the terms during your design consultation so you know exactly what’s covered before work begins.
Sliding cabinet doors and workbench countertops round out the garage as optional upgrades. Tell us how you use each room, and we’ll help you decide which features and upgrades belong in your plan.
