A walk-in closet can become cluttered and messy without the right organizing tips and ideas. The best walk-in closet design ideas focus on functionality while still delivering an organized space that looks gorgeous. Whether you’re a renter looking for ways to maximize your walk-in closet, or are remodeling your home and want to create a luxurious space, these inspirations will give you some great ideas on how to make the most of your closet.
Keep Clothes Wrinkle-Free With This Clever DIY Hanging Rack
Shirts and pants don’t always come in a crisp, ironed state, so it’s important to find a way to keep them wrinkle-free. Rather than opting for built-in shelves, this closet storage idea uses plumbing pipes to create an eye-catching hanging rack that makes sure that freshly ironed shirts stay wrinkle-free without having to be folded or stowed away again.
Make Your Closet a Mini Dressing Room
When designing your closet, consider putting a three-panel mirror on one wall that provides a wide view of your outfits. This allows you to see every detail from all angles and can be a huge help when planning your outfit for the day.
Use a Leather Ottoman And Woven Baskets For Shoe Storage
If you have a large shoe collection, consider adding a few woven baskets to your closet shelving so that shoes can be easily accessed when they’re needed. You’ll also be able to tuck shoes out of sight when you’re not using them.
Add Seats For A Stylish and Functional Walk-In Closet
If your closet is small, consider adding a few benches for added seating as well as extra space to lay out outfits. Keeping a few chairs in a room or near your closet can help you get dressed more quickly, and can even give you a place to sit while you put on your makeup.
Keep Your Closet Organizing by Color
When choosing colors for your closet, try to avoid stark, white shades unless you have a very small space. Instead, choose shades that are more soft and neutral. Using a light shade in combination with dark woods can create a cohesive look for your closet.
A patterned wallpaper, like this lips-covered design from Konstantin Kakanias for Templeton, is another way to add personality to your closet, as is a patterned stool or seat. You can even use a patterned runner to accent your closet’s floor.
Brighten Up Your Closet with a Light-Effect Chandelier
This walk-in closet by Fantastic Frank features a chandelier that not only gives off warm, yellow light but also highlights the sleekness of its clean-lined shelving and doors. It also makes the space feel more open, and it’s a fun design element to have in your closet.
Sliding Glass Doors Double the Perception of Space
