Do you even need a walk-in closet in your house? Before answering that question, consider that having a walk-in closet is longer a far-fetched dream for modern homes. Such designer wardrobes are incredibly prevalent in the current home decor scene and are no longer considered a ‘luxury’. In a lot of cases, turning a spare room into a walk in closet isn’t even required. All you need is a small space in your house, and you can easily convert it into a walk-in wardrobe.
How to Organize Your Walk In Closet?
The way your walk-in closet is designed and organized speaks volumes about your personality as a homeowner. So you need to pay particular focus to the way it looks and the vibe it is giving out. Additionally, your closet also needs to be a place of joy for you, and not that of a cluttered mess.
Our practical hacks will give you some insight into creative walk-in closet ideas for any home that will help you sort through the confusion and optimize your space:
- Clear the Space
It is a good beginning point to empty the contents of your walk-in closet to another spot. The clear-up will give you a fair idea of the space that you have, and how you should plan. After this, do not forget to clean the shelves and the floor to start again.
- Dispose of What No Longer Works for You
Once you empty your walk-in closet, sort through all the contents and separate on the basis of what you need, and what you need to give up. You can donate the ones that are in good condition and ditch the ones that aren’t. While separating the clothes, it is easy to let emotions take over, but it is important to note that if the clothes don’t fit you or your lifestyle, it is better to part ways.
- Location, Location, Location
This hack is by no means rocket science and is indeed very intuitive. You can begin by allocating separate parts of your walk in wardrobe to different things such as clothing, shoes, accessories etc. It is also advisable to store the items that you use the most at eye-level. The ones that you use a little less can be kept a bit below, and the ones that you rarely use can be stored at the top of your luxury fitted wardrobe. You can even color code your clothes or organize them on the basis if size.
- Dress(er) It Up
If your walk-in closet is full of racks and shelves, you can give it more texture by adding a dresser. Dressers are compact, yet super functional. Their size can depend on your preferences and the room you have in the closet. You can place a small dresser under a rod and even hang stuff on top of it, to save space.
- Mirrors for the Win
Mirrors are almost a sure shot way to make small space appear spacious. If your walk-in closet is relatively tiny, you can give it an added edge by hanging a mirror. If you want, you can opt for a full-size standing mirror or go for mirrored doors. These doors can also come in handy when you are getting ready for that big meeting, and you can check your outfit out from head to toe.
- Pay Attention to the Hangers
Save your valuable closet space by investing in thin hangers, ideally about a quarter of an inch in width. Heavy hangers occupy way more space than they should and are not doing anyone any favors. Slim hangers can store more items and are found to be quite durable too. You can get them in the same color and style to give an organized appearance to tour closet.
- Add More Rods and Racks
Adding more shelves, rods, and racks is always an excellent option to amp up the space in your closet. It doesn’t have to be an expensive affair, and you can do it yourself. These rods and shelves will add newer dimensions to your wardrobe.
- Compartmentalize
You can always use old shoe boxes inside huge drawers to create divisions and make the storage system more efficient. Another hack is to use ice trays to store tiny pieces of jewellery that otherwise might be lying here and there.
