Above all, a closet should be spacious, allowing ample room between pieces of clothing.
People commonly underestimate the necessity of having adequate and organized closet space. A neat and spacious closet can set a precedent for your entire day. When it comes to customizing your very own walk-in closet, there exists a nearly endless array of options depending on your needs and lifestyle. Does this Spark an idea?
Dressing Areas
Providing a dressing area for a walk-in closet, particularly for a shared his and hers walk-in closet, is a luxurious and romantic addition. Ideally, the dressing area should be a separate, semiprivate nook within the walk-in closet directly adjacent to where you keep your clothes. The nook should have ample lighting and mirrors. There should be an additional shared three-way mirror in the middle of the walk-in closet so that, after dressing in your designated nook, you can assess your outfit again from the vantage point of the three-way mirror.
Decorative Shelves
While the walk-in closet, above all, should serve the purpose of helping you find and choose clothes in an efficient and timely fashion, you should also keep in mind that this is one of the main places in your home where you begin your day. Aside from having soft lighting, designing a small, narrow set of shelves where you just display decorative items can help you get a cheerful start to your day. For example, you could display framed pictures of your children or relatives, photographs from your last vacation, treasured figurines or soothing knick-knacks such as seashells or beach glass.
Cupboards, Doors and Drawers
Cupboards, doors and drawers are a design feature of the person who knows where everything already is in his walk-in closet, but wants to keep his possessions as private as possible. For example, large cupboards near the floor of a closet are perfect for keeping clunky unsightly luggage out of sight, drawers keep undergarments and socks out of view, and sliding doors can conceal garments hanging on hangers. This type of design scheme is also perfect for someone who has messy habits and does not care to fold or hang up his clothes, but would still like to give the appearance of neatness.
