CREATE A
Whether male or female, everyone wants
a dreamy walk-in closet. Whether yours is
big or small, here are some tips and tricks to
creating your dream closet.
ADD EXTRA SHELVES , hanging bars, or
drawers to get the most out of your space. If
you have a large walk-in closet, you may want
to consider hiring a professional to maximize
your space. However, if you have a small
closet or prefer to DIY, then simply purchasing
a shelf unit or dresser to create extra storage
may suffice.
UTILIZE ALL VERTICAL SPACE taking
your shelving as high to the ceiling as possible.
Out of reach shelves can be used for storing
seasonal items, luggage or sports gear.
SHOW OFF YOUR SHOE COLLECTION
by arranging your shoes by heel height starting
with stilettos and ending with ballet flats. This
creates visual appeal and makes it easier for
you to instantly find the right pair of shoes.
CREATE A VANITY AREA where you can
display your jewelery, perfume and a lovely
mirror. Add some décor flair by adding
colorful shelf paper or using wallpaper to
highlight this area as a focal point. If your
closet is large, then I highly recommend
getting velvet-lined jewelery dividers for your
drawers.
KEEP DIRTY CLOTHES OUT OF SIGHT
and organized by using laundry bags or bins
labelled for delicates, whites and colors.
HANGING A LARGE MIRROR creates the
illusion of more space and allows you to get a
final look of your outfit.
And finally, sometimes it’s the little details that
make all the difference. Buy matching hangers
for a unified theme throughout the closet.
Give your closet a boutique feel by installing
a valet rod to hang clothes for the next day or
plan outfits for a trip. A retractable version that
pulls out only when needed is a good choice.
Add a plush rug and small ottoman to sit on
while trying on shoes for added style and
comfort. - Text by Christine Da Costa
