Are you tired of searching through piles of clothes in your closet or tripping over sports gear and shovels in your garage? If your resolution in 2025 is to get organized, the experts at Beyond the Box are ready with customizable closet and garage systems to fit your needs. Their creative and holistic storage solutions will put an end to the days of searching for a missing shoe or cringing at the sight of towering cardboard boxes in the garage.
THE ULTIMATE CLOSET STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Whether building a new home or renovating your existing closet, Beyond the Box can bring the closet of your dreams to life. Anita Price, Closet Manager and Designer, has been designing closet spaces for over twenty years. She loves helping each of her clients create the perfect space just for them and is invested in the process from start to finish.
“Usually, I meet homeowners at their house, and we go over everything. I measure while considering light switches, door swing, etc.,” states Anita. After gathering everything she needs, Anita draws up a design to fit the homeowners’ preferences. For clients outside of Billings, Anita can also assist with closet designs if provided with accurate measurements and a rough sketch of the space.
Within her design, Anita will generally recommend one of two distinct closet system options offered by Beyond the Box, which cater to different preferences and budgets. The Select line provides an affordable solution with streamlined options, ideal for those seeking a cost-effective and simpler installation process without compromising quality. The Classica line offers a higher-end solution with a built-in look and an array of customization options for a more sophisticated and custom-built appearance. Both lines maintain the same high-quality standards, ensuring durability and functionality, and are suitable for a variety of spaces, including master bedrooms, pantries, linen closets, and kids’ closets. Additionally, both systems can include many of the popular design choices Anita is currently seeing, which include:
Incorporating Color: Many homeowners are adding colors and two-tone finishes into their closet systems. From vibrant hues to subtle tones, adding color to your closet can breathe new life into your space. Anita suggests jazzing up your closet with colorful finishes and hardware to create a visually appealing, personalized storage solution.
Drawers and Baskets: From lingerie and sock drawers to trays for jewelry, watches, and sunglasses, drawers add functionality and sophistication to a closet, keeping your belongings organized and accessible. Pull-out baskets are becoming increasingly popular for storing various items in closets, especially in pantries and kids' spaces.
All Beyond the Box closet systems are designed to be adjustable, allowing you to customize the layout based on your changing needs. Whether transitioning from a triple hang system for a baby to a double hang as the child grows or adjusting shelving for different item heights, the flexibility of the systems ensures that your closet can evolve with you.
UPGRADE YOUR GARAGE ORGANIZATION
Are you tired of stepping into a cluttered and disorganized garage with sports equipment and tools scattered everywhere? You’re not alone. Every week, Anita helps homeowners transform chaotic home areas into functional, efficient spaces, and garages remain a common area homeowners want to tackle.
Anita’s personalized approach begins with an on-site assessment to understand your specific storage needs. “It’s best to go on-site and see what kind of items you may have that need to be stored,” says Anita. Beyond the Box works closely with homeowners to determine their unique situation and what system may help them the most, whether it's sports equipment, gardening supplies, or miscellaneous holiday items.
From there, Anita will help design the space while choosing from a variety of organizational options, including cabinetry, mesh storage, shelving, work benches, and even a rail system, which provides fantastic adjustability to accommodate various items.
