How to Makeover Your Closet with Beauty, Functionality & Organization in Mind
Do you constantly search your closet for your favorite pair of jeans or that handbag you swear you put away? For some of us, our closest could use a makeover to reach its true potential. A well-designed closet can change your life by streamlining functionality and saving you time. Plus, adding a few decorative elements will add enjoyment to your daily routine. Here’s how to accomplish a beautiful yet functional closet…
1. Maximize Your Space
When designing the ideal closest, maximizing every inch of space is vital. Plan a dedicated place for each type of item currently in your wardrobe while leaving room for new additions. Easy-access drawers are an excellent solution for jewelry or smaller, delicate items. If you have high ceilings, utilize the extra vertical space to store seasonal clothing neatly. Place a full-length mirror on the back of a door or a shallow wall. Check out 3 helpful tips for styling stunning shelves for ideas!
2. Illuminate the Entire Space
Adequately lighting your closet will enhance the space and your morning ritual. It’s essential to have enough overhead lighting to see colors clearly and perfectly coordinate outfits. Consider accent lighting, such as strip lights under shelves, to highlight your favorite handbags. Motion sensors that turn lights on when you enter a walk-in closet are a great hands-free feature.
3. Fit the Space with Adjustable Shelving
Adjustable shelving is the perfect solution to modify your closet as fashions and tastes change. The ability to tailor your space will come in handy for seasonal transitions. For example, tall boots in the winter will need more height on the shelves versus flat sandals in the warmer months. It will also help you make room for new items after a shopping spree easily.
Take the time to inventory what you need to store in your closet so you can thoughtfully plan out your design. Sketching a layout would be ideal before you commit to purchasing an organizational system. Need help with this? I would be happy to assist you in designing the closet of your dreams.
