So many of us have grown up to popular movies and shows that allowed us to see wonderful walk-in closets with piles upon piles of the most beautiful clothing pieces.
Those in possession of actual bedroom closets know how hard it can be to keep them tidy and that reality is often a far cry from the stylish, boutique-like space we saw on TV.
Still, there are a few tricks to include and some stylistic choices to be made that could as well transform your closet into the fashionista corner you always dreamt of.
1. Built-In Wardrobes Are It
While it’s certainly possible to make your bedroom closet look lovely even with a regular wardrobe, built-in solutions are always incomparably better.
This allows you to customize the exact shape and all the different storage options in your closet which can really change everything.
2. Mind Your Hangers
A small detail, but extremely important for a fashionable closet – get yourself matching hangers.
They’ll tie it all together and make your closet look that much more organized and clean.
3. One Season at a Time
Carefully decide which parts of the closet will be open and which you’ll close. Commonly, the part that contains the rack for hanging clothes tends to be left open.
It’s also the more organized part of the wardrobe and therefore more aesthetically appealing.
Now, to make sure you don’t overcrowd your exposed closet and to organize it in a reasonable manner, only show off the seasonal clothes.
It would ruin the vibe if you hung your winter coat next to a swimsuit.
4. Organize by Category
Keep your clothes and accessories organized by category – bags, shoes, outerwear, jewelry, and so on.
This will make the closet appear cleaner and also allow you to get ready much faster.
5. Organize by Color
To really promote a clean aesthetic, organize your clothes and accessories by color.
6. Create a Capsule Closet
Use the open storage of your bedroom closet to prepare your best outfits in advance.
This will cut the time you take to get ready in half and bring a touch of personality to your space.
7. Underconsumption Is the Key
Though the walk-in closets we could’ve seen in movies and shows such as Gossip Girl, Clueless, and Hannah Montana are marked by overconsumption, that really isn’t the point of these closets.
The point is to have a better overview of your wardrobe and more space to get ready. And to keep these perks, you’ll have to be careful not to overcrowd it.
If you wish to keep your closet stylish, make sure to buy only the things you’re sure you’ll wear.
8. Show Off Your Best Items
Install plenty of shelves to show off your nicest accessories.
Of course, you should still have ample closed-off space to store away the things that are necessary but aren’t very decorative.
9. Accentuate With Ceiling Lights
The luxury trend is to install beautiful chandeliers everywhere – entryway, bathroom, and yes, even the closet.
This kind of addition is sure to make you feel like even more of a fashionista.
10. Keep the Closet Doors Closed
For those of us who’d rather keep our clothes concealed, closed doors are always an option.
Look for various designs that can contribute to the aesthetic of the bedroom closet.
11. An Island for the Boutique Vibe
An island in the midst of your bedroom closet, with some drawers and the surface to place your decor may as well be the ultimate final touch.
It’s quite practical as you can’t have too much storage in the closet and also very decorative, as it makes your closet resemble the changing rooms of luxury boutiques.
12. Drop Some Names
Upscale your closet by showing off a few luxury items. It can be a bag, sunglasses, or a jewelry set.
These items can be inherently decorative.
13. Decorate Your Fashion Corner
Use lamps, flowers, wall art, and rugs to add some personality and style to your bedroom closet.
14. Incorporate a Fun Backdrop
Use wallpaper or paint to create a vibrant backdrop for your bedroom closet.
15. Glass Closet Doors
Glass doors basically make for an open storage closet but without all the dust!
Personally, I find this to be the best solution for a truly tidy closet.
16. Shoes Closet
We all secretly want to be Carrie Bradshaw and live in our shoes.
Create ample shelving space to show off your nicer shoes right in your closet. This can also help unclutter your entryway.
17. Include a Vanity
Vanity is a popular addition to bedrooms, anyway. Install yours near the closet and get all ready in one spot.
18. Wallpaper Is Always a Plus
Wallpapers can make an ordinary room look so much fun.
Choose a colorful, fashion-inspired wallpaper to completely transform your closet.
In Conclusion
The optimal way to keep your bedroom closet stylish is to try your best to keep it tidy.
With or without luxury items or decor, you can have your dream walk-in closet. All it takes is some proper organization, planning, and a pinch of creativity.
