Dream Closet on a Budget: Everbilt vs. IKEA (Closet Edition) ✨
Turning a plain closet into a stylish, organized dream space doesn't have to break the bank. With just a dash of creativity—and two smart options—you can have a boutique-worthy closet for under (or right around) $410. Today’s stars of the show: Everbilt Genevieve (8 ft kit) from Home Depot and IKEA’s BOAXEL combination. Let’s compare!
Home Depot Option: Everbilt Genevieve (8-ft Modular Kit)
- Width (adjustable): Offers a base kit around 49.5 inches wide, plus modular add-ons—resulting in a total potential width close to 8 feet (96 inches). Planner 5D
- Depth: Approximately 16 inches Planner 5D
- Height: Comparable range around 79–80 inches (depending on configuration)
- Price: Base configuration hovers in the mid-range (~$300), under the $410 target when using promotional discounts on Home Depot credit offers.
Why it's aspirational:
This modular design gives you the flexibility to build a closet tailored to your space. You start with a compact foundation (about 4 feet) and grow into a full 8-foot setup. It’s got that chic adjustable vibe—perfect for someone who loves customizing while staying savvy.
IKEA Option: BOAXEL Combination

Which One Speaks to You?
- Go modular with Everbilt if you love building things your way—start smaller, expand later, and surprise yourself with how much you can stylishly fit into a smaller footprint.

The Real Secret? Your Vision
Whichever you choose, the magic happens in how you style it:
- Arrange clothing by hue or mood for a curated, boutique effect.
- Add eye-catching baskets, trays, or LED lighting to elevate the elegance.
- Make vertical space work for you—stack boxes, create symmetrical sections, and keep accessories visible and beautiful.
You don’t need a high-end designer—or a huge budget—to get that aspirational closet of your dreams.
