Streamline the built-ins in a closet to ensure a cohesive start to decorating it.
When designing a dressing room, many people overlook the planning of decorate the closet that is in it. Keep the tone of colors calm and relaxing in the rest of the space to create a soothing environment in which to get ready in the morning or unwind before bed at night. The built-ins should all be made in the same material for a cohesive and uniform design. This is the last place that you want to feel busy or overdone. Let your clothing and accessories be the focal point by using them as the main decorative elements in the closet. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Photo boxes, gift boxes and even shoe boxes covered in wrapping paper can be used to store shoes.
Place all your shoes in decorative boxes rather than on shelves or the floor, and take a picture of the pair and tape it to one side of the box so you can find the pair you need easily. This gives you the option of either facing the pictures forward to show off your shoe collection or turning the picture to the side so all you see when looking in the closet is the boxes themselves.
2. Choose colorful designs to add a touch of fun in the space.
Hang all your clothes on hangers in the same material and style as the built-ins for a contemporary feel, such as wood hangers on a wood rod. For whimsy when decorating your closet, use decoratively designed hangers.
3. Use your favorite fashion accessories as decorations.
Display your accessories rather than hide them away, to create functional and artistic-looking elements. For example, ties and purses can both be hung on decorative hooks for ease of accessibility as well as to add punches of color.
4. Store clothing and accessories that you are not using in decorative ways.
Put your out-of-season clothes in decorative totes and bags. Color coordinate them, such as orange for fall, white for winter, green for spring and yellow for summer, to easily find what you need throughout the year.
5. Baskets are available in many different styles, patterns and colors.
Organize delicate items that do not fit into the drawer space that is available, such as lingerie or undergarments, in lined baskets. Decorating your closet in your dressing room is all about fitting everything you need into the space attractively.
