Luxury Walkin Closet Design Ideas

Luxury Walk-In Closet Design Ideas


A large walk-in closet is a lavish item to have in your home as it allows you the freedom of space; you are free to organize your clothes and accessories in any way that you want. When it comes to the layout and design of a luxurious walk-in closet, you are truly bound by nothing; a wealth of creative choices are possible. Does this Spark an idea?


Visibility


High visibility is one concept for a walk-in closet and it starts with the panels and doors which separate the closet from the bedroom. Instead of traditional wood and drywall, install clear glass. This will give your bedroom and closet a sleek, modern almost space-age appearance. Once inside the closet, create an "L" with the layout so that clothes are stored flat against two walls. Every single piece of clothing should be visible; nothing is hidden behind closet or cabinet drawers. For items that require drawers, like socks and undergarments, use clear plastic drawers that you can clearly look into to take the place of traditional drawers. Hang a full-length mirror against one wall and place a clear plastic bench in the middle of the room.


Spiral Layout


The spiral design walk-in closet is truly for the person who wants a luxurious, yet one of a kind space for their clothes. Instead of taking a rectangular shape like most walk-in closets, hang your clothes on rods and shelves mounted along a path that curves steadily inward in a corkscrew shape. In the center of the spiral, place a large, full-length, three-way mirror and an upholstered bench. While you can't see all of your clothes at once with this design, you can organize your clothes in such a way that the clothes you wear the most, such as work clothes, are at the front of the spiral and that clothes you wear less are towards the center of the spiral. This way you can quickly select the clothes you need most often.


Windows Incorporated


Nothing says luxury more than a walk-in closet with a stellar view. Getting dressed will never be quite the same when you pick out what to wear as sunlight steadily streams into your closet. This type of walk-in closet resembles a small bedroom or office in its size and makes use of all four walls of the space. Hang clothes from rods at various heights; mount cabinets with cupboards, drawers and racks along the walls. Among all of these organizational elements are large picture windows or bay windows to brighten the entire space. Place a desk or vanity table beside one of the windows or cushions on the bay window and truly turn the closet into a space for luxuriating.
