Tips on Designing a Walk-In Closet

There are so many options when it comes to designing a walk-in closet. Most of the closets we design for our clients are more than just a closet they’re dressing rooms. They include seating, built-in storage, and dressers. Here are some helpful tips on how we’ve designed luxurious dressing room closets.

Storage

Having the right amount of storage for your clothes and accessories will help you to stay organized. Determining how much room you need for shelving, drawers, and railings will depend on what you have in your wardrobe. Finding out how much space you should allocate for shirts, shoes, coats, and jeans will help when designing the closet space. Some people prefer having an island in the middle of their walk-in closet to create more storage space for accessories.

Seating

Include seating like an ottoman or nice chair in your closet to make the room seem more like a boutique. Seating will create more of a luxurious feeling when you’re trying on your clothes.

Lighting

A room is not complete without an elegant light fixture like a chandelier to set the mood. Lighting is key especially when trying on clothes.

His & Hers

If you have enough space, we would suggest having two separate closets. This will help with creating more space for your wardrobe and keep things less cluttered. For instance, men and women have different types of wardrobes and accessories meaning they will need different types of storage space to stay organized.
