HIS STYLE, HER STYLE… HER WALK-IN CLOSET

So we have given the foosball table a nice home in the man cave. Now its time for the ladies to go wild with their own design style. A walk-in closet that serves as her sanctuary, her entertainment center, her dressing room and also a display room for all the clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.

There are different factors that make your walk-in closet and the balance of these factors is what makes the perfect closet. Your closet needs to be bright, it needs to have well-organized wardrobes and storage but most importantly, it needs to be convenient to use.

One of the factors that make the perfect walk-in closet is the storage. It is important to know what you want to fill your space with when designing your closet. You need to ensure that the storage (shoe rack, bag rack, folding shelves, hanging rods, drawers e.t.c) you will have there can accommodate all these items you intend to store inside. Keep the storage units on the highest level for the items your don’t use often. The mid-level storage units can be used mostly for items that you feel you don’t use enough because putting them at eye level means that you see and remember them all the time. The low level or hidden storage units can be used to store those things that you cannot live without because whether you see it or not, you know exactly where you folded it and when you folded it there. Having good storage and a good storage plan means that you don’t ever have an untidy closet. You will be shocked how much untidiness and clutter can destroy your perfect interior.

The light in your closet is another very important factor. You must ensure that you have sufficient light coming in from the right angles and in the right direction. Natural light is always amazing but in a dressing room, its better to depend on light that you can control. Your ceiling lights should be evenly spread and not in clusters so that they brighten the whole space. Make sure you don’t put your dressing table or mirrors directly under a light source and your mirror lights should be front facing lights because downward lights would not reflect well in mirrors.

When I am in my (extremely unfinished) dressing room, I think about dressing rooms that are big enough for hosting and I get so jealous. I wish I had enough space for a sitting area. A nice corner sitting area for girly chat while you pick your outfit. This is good for company and entertainment and it stays out of your way. A middle sitting area is also very elegant and interactive but that is only achievable in a very big dressing room. Its more convenient to have a bench in the middle if you don’t have the space.

My last and most important factor in your dressing room is circulation. What’s the sense in a perfect closet that can barely fit a person? Exactly!! You must make sure that you don’t have to move anything around in order to move comfortably in your closet. Yes, you may have to walk around your bench or your ottoman if you have one but you should not have too many obstacles in your way.
