13 Benefits of Choosing a DOCA Designed Wardrobe

There are several benefits to upgrading your current closet to a custom DOCA closet design. The first step is deciding to upgrade your existing closet to a custom design. The next is choosing DOCA for your new closet. Founded in 1980, DOCA is an icon in the home design industry for producing high-quality and unique designs. For over 40 years, the team at DOCA has sought out the best manufacturers in Europe to source the highest quality materials and finishes for its closets. Enjoy these benefits when you decide to add a DOCA custom closet to your home.

1. Variety of Options

The catalog of available options is extensive and continually expanding with DOCA. This large inventory is routinely updated and improved, ensuring it has the best and latest. For example, the inventory of doors and hinge mechanisms is updated at least once a year. Every detail is thought of with DOCA, from the materials to the handles. Each element of your custom closet presents a unique opportunity to choose from a variety of options. The possible combination of possibilities is endless, allowing for complete creativity.

2. Customized Solutions

When you decide to create a custom DOCA closet, it gets created around you. This means it is adapted to you, your lifestyle, and your home. Not the other way around. If you have an extensive shoe collection, it is simple to add additional shoe shelves. If you have a large collection of accessories, your closet design could have plenty of shallow trays for storage. The entire closet can be built to fit the space available in your home. This could mean creating multiple wardrobe units or building extra tall doors to take advantage of extra tall ceilings.

3. High-End Materials and Finishes

DOCA closets use multiple materials and finishes to achieve a completed closet design. To achieve this, it has an extensive inventory of available materials and finishes. Designers can create an infinite number of customized designs to suit any style, taste, and budget. Available materials and finishes include a variety of woods, glass, porcelain, stone, metal, and leather. Using various materials creates depth and visual contrast as the textures play off each other. High-quality materials also have a more enjoyable textile feel as you touch the panels to open the doors or use the handles to pull out the drawers.

4. Improved Lighting

A standout feature of DOCA custom closets is the lighting. As with the other features of DOCA closets, several lighting options are available. This ensures that there is a lighting solution available for every closet design. DOCA custom closets have elevated lighting solutions that play on light and shadows. The finished design features accent lighting that highlights the unique features of the closet and functional lighting that makes using the closet easier. The design team at Divine Design Center will artfully add lighting to your closet design that matches the design aesthetic. For example, a more traditional design could have an elegant chandelier. A modern design could have LED strip lighting mounted on the ceiling.

5. Increased Storage

If your old closet has wasted space or just doesn’t work for your belongings, it is time to consider a custom DOCA closet. Because each closet is designed for the specific client and home, it can address the unique challenges presented. Your new DOCA closet will utilize all of the available space. This includes the dead corner deep in your closet or the empty space up high that you wouldn’t normally be able to reach. However, increasing storage is also about better utilizing the storage space. This means considering the client’s belongings and designing a closet that directly addresses these storage needs. For example, clients with multiple pants might benefit from a dedicated trouser rack. In contrast, someone who owns several skirts would appreciate a skirt rack. A client with a large accessory or jewelry collection will want extra shallow trays with organizers.

6. Better Organization

It isn’t enough that your DOCA custom closet comes with more storage capacity. DOCA closets take it one step further with organizational accessories. From the shallow trays to the deep drawers, there are organizational dividers and liners that create the perfect organizational system for your belongings. This elevates your custom closet and makes it more functional for your belongings. From small trays that organize jewelry to larger trays that are perfect for organizing belts, scarves, ties, and sunglasses. Then there are larger trays that are perfect for organizing underwear, socks, and hats.

7. Long Lasting Durability

The quality of the materials and finishes is just the start of a DOCA closet. It is the expert craftsman that ensures your new custom closet will last. Carefully constructed with the use of high-quality materials and hardware results in a durable closet that is capable of withstanding daily use. The DOCA team continually seeks out manufacturers that produce high-quality components and hardware. This ensures that it isn’t just the materials used but every part of your custom closet is built to last.

8. Increased Functionality

When you design a custom DOCA closet, you will enjoy the increased functionality of your closet. This is because your closet designer will listen carefully to your desires and needs. This will typically involve a conversation about what you like and dislike about your current closet, the amount and type of clothing you own, home design, and personal style. All of this information will create a roadmap for your designer to create a custom closet that perfectly suits your lifestyle. You will find yourself appreciating an increased amount of storage and better organization. This increases the functionality of your closet.

9. Luxury

Upgrading your closet to a custom DOCA design adds luxury to your home. Even those working with a limited budget can find ways of adding an elevated design to their home. Because DOCA offers a variety of options, you can choose a design that has maximum impact without maxing out your budget. However, if you have a budget that can accommodate it, DOCA closets allow you to go all out. Turn your closet space into the dream luxury design that you have always wanted.

10. Higher Property Value

Home upgrades and renovations will increase your property value. However, not all improvements have the same impact on your home’s value. Thankfully, upgrading your closets will have a noticeable impact on the desirability of your home. Luxury closet designs elevate your home, increasing a buyer’s desire and thereby increasing your home’s value. A DOCA custom closet is a wise investment because it not only upgrades the standard or builder-grade solution but it does it in an impactful way. You aren’t simply adding luxury finishes and materials; you are creating something that is both beautiful and functional.

11. Local Design Support

The team at Divine Design Center fosters a close partnership with DOCA. This gives homeowners in and around the Boston area a local support system. Because DOCA is located in Spain, the company can feel distant and remote. However, Divine Design Center brings a level of personalism to this luxury brand. This makes DOCA closets more accessible and approachable, despite being located so far away. Visit the Divine Design Center’s lifestyle showroom on the Boston waterfront to see and touch DOCA’s luxury materials and finishes in person. That way, you know exactly what you are choosing for your future custom closet.

12. Ecology and Environmental Responsibility

It isn’t enough to simply have a luxury design or product in today's world. Companies need to demonstrate that they are a part of the world and society. To do this, they need to ethically or responsibly source the materials used and practice manufacturing with a minimal footprint. DOCA closets are more than just elegant luxury. The company holds a Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), which guarantees that the wood used is responsibly sourced from sustainably managed forests. So feel good about your new luxury closet and that you can have sophistication without sacrificing the environment.

13. Blending of Design Styles

DOCA closets come in a variety of design styles. This enables homeowners to create their own style to perfectly match their own tastes and the home’s architectural design. Blending design styles also ensures that the completed design is a timeless one. While current trends are considered, they are just trends that come and go. A DOCA custom closet will look timeless because it will incorporate traditional and classic elements that feel familiar and comfortable.
