Creating a fashionable walk-in closet

Almost every homeowner dreams of having a walk-in closet. A well-designed walk-in closet should seem like going into your own little store, with all of your lovely clothing and accessories on display. This not only makes getting dressed more fun, but it also makes it a lot easier.

Consider the design features that will offer flair, efficiency, and luxury to your walk-in closet before you go on a shopping spree for new hangers and baskets. 

Whether you're starting from scratch or looking for ways to revamp your present closet, follow these design ideas to create a beautiful and functional area you'll adore.

• Include a mirror

Since mirrors don't take up much room, even the smallest walk-in closets can benefit from this feature. Because you'll be trying on the majority of your clothing in your walk-in closet, it makes sense to include a full-body mirror. Mirrored closet doors may make a small closet appear larger.

If your closet is large enough, you can even construct a three-panelled mirror. Three-panelled mirrors are common in dressing rooms because they allow you to see your outfit from all angles. Adding a three-panelled mirror to your walk-in closet will make it feel even more luxurious.

• Add the correct lighting

Whether you are getting ready for a day at the office or attempting to slip into your casual and unwinding attire, lighting is essential. Not only does it have a significant impact on your walk-in closets overall functionality, but it also sets the mood which results in you choosing the perfect outfit. 

Strip lighting, recessed lighting, and track lighting are the most typical types of lighting used in closets. Each choice has a different type of bulb and mounting options. Some even have motion sensors for automatic turn on and off functions.

You could even add a stylish chandelier to polish things off.

• Go for display cabinets

Your walk-in closet will feel less congested with the addition of display cabinets. They allow you to make the most of every square metre of space while also exhibiting your personal style. Consider this: your pricey hats and handbags are best kept on a shelf. The size and number of shelves you'll need will be determined by the accessories you have.

You can keep organised and tuck away anything unattractive on the top shelf of your cabinet thanks to stylish storage baskets.

• Choose the perfect seating

Accent seating is a great technique to give the illusion that you're in a dressing room. The atmosphere of a walk-in closet is quickly improved by providing a comfortable place to sit while getting ready. Consider how many times you've tripped over a pair of shoes while attempting to put them on. You'll be able to slip on a pair of shoes while sitting in the cosiness of your walk-in closet if you find the right couch or ottoman.

A built-in storage bench, in particular, is a great way to add seating to your walk-in closet while maximising space.

• Deck out your vanity

Having a personal dressing room where you can conduct your morning skincare routine, apply makeup, and style your hair can make life easier and more glamorous. Add a light-up mirror to your vanity table in your walk-in closet to give your skin tone the appropriate illumination. 

Consider using little jars or makeup holders to keep your vanity organised. You don't want the top of your table to be cluttered. Adding wallpaper will also make a strong statement to your vanity area.

• Be vibrant with a rug

Rugs are a simple way to bring vibrant colours into your walk-in closet. To personalise and add texture to your closet, invest in a faux area rug in your favourite colour. Faux rugs are hot right now, and they'll give your walk-in closet a bit of glitz and glam theme.
