Lori Hoyt
Custom Closet and Storage Solutions
A staple business in South Florida since the 1980s, California Closets has become a household name in creating custom designs to fit any space and budget.
Lori Hoyt, who co-owns the business with her brother and sister, is using her platform to inspire women in the community to take control of their health. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Hoyt, whose mother was a breast cancer survivor, knows the importance of early detection. She is offering an incentive for female clients who get a routine mammogram: three complementary closet accessories.
Hoyt and her siblings have owned the local franchise for 24 years, taking over the business from her parents who first brought California Closets to the area in 1985.
California Closets transforms closet spaces of all shapes and sizes, in homes, offices and condominiums, with endless combinations of drawers, doors, colors and finishes.
While closet designs have evolved over the years, the goal remains the same for every client.
“We help clients achieve the beauty of calmness and being stress-free with impeccable design,” Hoyt says. “You don’t have to bend down to grab shoes, your dresses are separate from your shirts and it’s a place you want to walk into all the time. We can do glass doors, mirrored doors and glass shelving to feel like a boutique. I’ve had clients say, ‘I want to sleep in my closet!’”
California Closets also handles pantries, wall units and offices.
“We do everything from simple to sublime,” Hoyt says.
Consultants can come to a client’s home to discuss options and take exact measurements or do virtual consultations via Zoom. Clients can also come to the Boca Raton or Fort Lauderdale showroom, by appointment only, to peruse options.
California Closets has 35 full-time employees and all work is done with in-house designers and installers.
“Our designers go through rigorous trainings,” Hoyt says. “We give individualized attention to each client. Every job is different because we make it specifically for our clients.”
