Sure-Fire Tips to Elevate Your Custom Closet and Make It More Trendy

Walking into your closet should feel good. You might try to look at this space as a boutique-style dressing room, a cool and comfortable place to relax, or perhaps a high-end, luxurious retreat from the outside world. With a few simple changes, you can create a trendy, pleasant custom closet.

Here are some tips on making your custom closet a place you’ll want to spend time in:

Are you ready to get started on creating your dream custom closet system? Let’s go!


Add Color to the Walls

Your closet might be a basic white or off-white, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Since it’s a small space, it won’t take much paint to spruce up the walls. You can paint all of the walls one color, create an accent wall, or even try your hand at stenciling, freehand painting, or sponge painting. Be creative, and enjoy the process.

If you’re having a custom closet system installed, the best time to paint will be after the old components are removed and before the new system is put in. 

If you already have your closet installed, you will need to be careful with taping. Alternatively, you can contact the company that installed your closet for tips on removing some of the components temporarily. Hunker has more tips on painting inside of a closet.

Custom Closet Systems

Invest in Quality Lighting

In order to see your clothing and also to make your space shine, you’ll need some high-quality lighting in the closet. You don’t have to pick just one type; in fact, having a selection of lighting options can allow you to comfortably go into the closet when it’s still dark in your bedroom or when the sun is shining brightly.

Bright overhead lighting will give you the most visibility when your eyes are already adjusted to the light during the day. Putting in a few LED strips or even a lamp will let your eyes adjust to the brighter light of the closet when you’re entering in the early hours – before the sun has begun to light up your bedroom.

Make Your Storage Solutions Fashionable

There are tons of options to select from when choosing your custom closet components. Pick the colors and finishes that are most appealing to you. Think about whether you’d rather have bright white cabinets, something more muted in nature, or even a trendy pop of color. 

You can also add bold bins and stylish storage boxes. Even your hangers can reflect your sense of style; you can pick out virtually any color or wood grain to hold your clothing. Also, don’t forget about the hardware – choose what you like when you have your closet installed, but remember that you can always change out hardware later if you’d like something more unique.

Custom Closet Systems

Incorporate Mirrors

You’ll need a mirror in your closet to do that final check before you leave the house, but a mirror does even more than that. They can make your closet appear larger, and you can choose a style that adds a touch of glamour.

Consider a pull-out mirror if space is an issue. You can leave it tucked away when you need to use the space for something else. You could mirror one whole wall or simply add a full-length mirror. Another option is mirrored cabinets. You might even install a vanity with a lit mirror; this also gives you a place to style your hair and put on your makeup.

Showcase Your Favorite Belongings

Part of the fun of having a cool and classy custom closet is the ability to create a stylish display featuring the items you already have. Do you have an impressive shoe collection? Maybe you have some high-end purses or a few designer dresses you’d like to highlight.

Depending on what you have, you might try open shelving or glass-front cabinets to allow your collection to shine. Hooks are another option. For dresses or outfits, you could even put them on a mannequin for a boutique look.


Conclusion

When it comes to making your closet unique and trendy, you have so many options. Because it’s a small space, it wouldn’t be too expensive to put in upscale wall coverings or to add mirrors to highlight your wardrobe and accessories. Think outside the box to come up with ways to make your custom closet exactly what you want it to be.
