The short answer
ClosetMaid's free interactive 3D tool (by The AMES Companies) lets you enter dimensions and design a closet, pantry or mudroom, then save, print or buy online. A $5 professional design service returns two layouts with a parts list, and authorized dealers handle in-home design and install. The tool is locked to ClosetMaid systems and is co-branded into retailers like Lowe's.
