DESIGN TIPS TO CREATE A LUXURY CLOSET DESIGN

DEFINE STYLE AND NEEDS

As you would for any other interior space, you should start your project by defining your style, needs and layout. Review your ideas with your designer and/or vendor, taking into consideration the space you have available.

Jot down notes about the details for your custom closet design. What kind of closet do you want? How are you going to use the space? What is your process? How do you want it to look? What are the features you are looking for?

Your answers should help you and your designer define a creative space plan that takes into account your every need, maximizing utility and minimizing wasted space.

PLAN STRUCTURE AND STORAGE COMPONENTS

Now that you have written down your needs, and defined the goals and style of the luxury customs closet you would like to create, let’s delve into the details and systems.

When working with your closet vendor and/or designer, ask yourself the question, What will you be storing and how do you want to store it?

We recommend that you add a variety of storage options so that your custom-designed luxury closet will meet your different storage needs (clothing, shoes, accessories, and other belongings). You can also mix hidden storage with open shelving solutions to achieve an ideal combination of functionality and beauty.

With the advice and expertise of your trusted vendor and the guidance of your interior designer, you should design your closet to utilize the available space in a useful way. Review the different available systems and select the ones that work best for your storage needs.

QUALITY MATERIALS AND FINISHES

Once you have determined the closet’s structure, it’s now time to decide on the materials and finishes to use for your space. Interior designers will always recommend investing in durable materials and high quality finishes that reflect your personal style.

ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Because your luxury custom closet is designed just for you, you should pay attention to each and every detail with touches that will give your closet a completely unique look. Work with your designer to add an interesting wallpaper to complement the design and personalize the space with art and accessories.

And don’t forget about lighting! Good lighting is a major factor in achieving the luxury closet you have dreamed about. Most closet system vendors offer shelving with LED lighting. Also, if the space allows it, consider adding a decorative light fixture to create a visual focal point.
