Features Of A Luxury Walk-In Closet Design

Here are some of the most important elements to be considered when looking at different walk in ideas:

Storage cabinets: Storing your shirts, sweaters, purses and accessories is important to save both time and energy to help you easily find what you need.

Drawers: Many people when designing their own custom closets prefer to see their drawers facing the entrance for convenience.

Lighting: Illumination will help keep your this space bright, cheerful and help you quickly find what your looking for on those hectic days. It’s a good idea to select fluorescent lights rather than incandescent to cut down on extra heat the bulbs give off.

Windows: If you have a window in your walk-in you can benefit from natural light. Just remember that sunlight can bleach your clothes. To avoid this you may want to consider blinds or window coverings.

Hamper: Including a hamper is really convenient and keeps things tidy.

Mirrors: An assortment of mirrors in your walk-in can be a real time saver. Mirrors can also make this space appear larger and help provide a lighter space.

Peninsulas and Islands: If you’ve got the room islands can really be a nice addition as they give you room for additional storage compartments and help when laying out an outfit. When considering a island make sure you have 36″ around the island on all sides so you have plenty of room to maneuver

Benches or stools: Benches can give you an easy place to sit and try on shoes. Stools are great for when you need a little extra help reaching those items way up on the top shelf.

Chandeliers: I left this for last because it’s not just functional, but for fun. Adding a chandelier is a great way to add your own flair and sense of style to your space.

To visualize your own ideas you can use a closet design software program. These will let you input your rooms dimensions and layout, then add different storage racks, hangers and accessories to see how your space would look.
