I’m so excited to finally share this post with you. I was
recently inspired by Arhaus to share a post on my
ideal dream dressing room mood board along with a few design tips! I’m no where
close to being an interior designer, but I do love putting together mood boards
to illustrate some ideas I have about my dream home. I currently live in
an apartment, so most of you understand that I’m in desperate need of an
upgrade from my small walk-in closet to a boutique-inspired room complete with
extra seating, stylish lighting and other luxuries. And although I won’t be moving
into my perfectly spacious closet any time soon, a girl is never too old to
keep dreaming right? Anyways, if you’re contemplating a closet upgrade or simply just daydreaming about it, here are 5 tips to keep in mind
when creating your new space:
1. Mirrors: Be
sure to add mirrors and/or mirrored doors to the space because it adds light to
the room and also provides views from every angle while getting dressed. The right mirror can add a little character
to the space as well. I love how this one has a distressed finish creating a vintage style to this closet.
2. Incorporate an
Island: If you have extra space in your closet, then try to incorporate an
island in the space. An island makes a
statement in any room, especially a closet since it’s rare to see. You can have one built in or use a dresser or chest like these here. The dresser I picked out below has the right details to transform a typical closet into a stylish
sanctuary. It also has additional
drawers for storage and space to lay out clothing for a better view when
packing or organizing.
3. Jewelry and
Accessories Station: Take inspiration from your favorite stores or
boutiques to display your collection of clutches and handbags, statement
necklaces, bracelets, earrings and shoes. Adding displays like a mannequin, a
rolling rack, a jewelry armoire or an open bookcase for your shoes are perfect
ways to create a unique and sophisticated space.
4. Seating
Arrangement: In order for your walk-in closet to be truly functional and
enjoyable, you’ll need proper seating. An ottoman or an armchair is the perfect
solution. You can lay out outfits on the ottoman or sit on the chair to get
your shoes on. It’s also an easy way to bring color into your closet to make it
feel like every other room in the home
5. Proper Lighting:
Light fixtures in closets are necessary especially when they lack natural
lighting. Finding the right outfit by making sure the colors match and/or
making sure that your outfit isn’t too sheer requires proper lighting. Go for an
elegant style if you want to replicate a celebrity-style closet. Adding a
chandelier like any of these here will certainly do just the trick.
Well, there you have it. Check out some of my favorite pieces
