Walk-In Closet Ideas
For those fortunate enough to have the space for a walk-in closet, there are limitless possibilities for making this space extraordinary.
- Turn an extra bedroom or odd space into a grand closet.
- Design your walk-in closet for your wardrobe—do you wear power suits for work, or do you work from home in super casual attire? You’ll want the configuration and features to match the clothing you own.
- Design your closet for your lifestyle—maybe you’re a runner and own 30 pairs of running shoes, or perhaps you are an outdoor enthusiast with loads of outerwear—you’ll want to design your closet to fit your items.
- If space permits, adding an island with a top in marble or glass and lingerie and jewelry drawers below is a must for your custom walk-in closet.
- Hang your purses on decorative hooks installed on the closet wall.
- Customize your closet with floor-to-ceiling shelving to house shoes, purses, and more.
- Include a vanity with a slipper chair or stool with a large mirror or mirrored wall above for primping and preening.
- Strategic placement of mirrors will provide the most advantageous self-view before you leave for the day.
- Add a unique decorative dresser or high boy.
- Install a lingerie cabinet.
- Consider a clothing rack that they use for fashion shows to display your gorgeous gowns or dressier pieces.
