How to Design a Closet with Beauty, Functionality & Organization in Mind

A well-designed closet is like a personal oasis – it has the power to transform your daily routine and elevate your lifestyle. With efficient organization and storage solutions, it simplifies the way clothing, accessories, shoes, and linens are stored, making everything easily accessible. Imagine starting your day with a beautifully organized closet where each item has its place, saving you precious time and reducing morning stress. It's like having your own little boutique at home, where getting dressed becomes a joyous experience. When everything is neatly arranged and visible, it not only streamlines your morning routine but also brings a sense of calm and harmony to your space, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Pair it with a good cup of coffee and what could possibly go wrong?! Ultimately, a well-designed closet becomes more than just a storage area – it becomes a reflection of your personal style and a source of daily inspiration.

Let no space go to waste

Don’t let any corner go to waste – think of it as a treasure hunt for storage potential! Embrace the vertical space by adding tall shelves or stackable organizers to make the most of your room. Consider placing easily accessible baskets on those high shelves and incorporating pull-out drawers to efficiently utilize every nook and cranny. By getting creative and making use of every inch, you'll not only create a more organized and functional environment, but you'll also make your daily routine a whole lot smoother. So, roll up your sleeves, get inventive, and let's make the most of every bit of space we've got!

Illuminate the entire  space

Let's shed some light on closet organization! Adding practical lighting to your closet is a game-changer – it's like giving your wardrobe the spotlight it deserves. Consider installing recessed lights, strip lighting, or even motion sensor lights to properly see what you have when dressing, making those early mornings a breeze. And hey, once you've found that perfect outfit, don't forget to put your clothes away after folding or hanging them – it's the secret to a tidy and stress-free space. Trust me, a well-lit and organized closet will not only make your life smoother but will also bring a little extra joy to your daily routine. I’ve added an Alexa to my closet, so I can tune into my favorite atlanta morning show while I’m getting ready for the day.

Fit the space with adjustable shelving

When it comes to setting up your closet, choosing adjustable shelving is an absolute game-changer. It allows you to customize the layout to perfectly fit the items you plan to store, whether it's clothes, shoes, or accessories. Keep in mind that your wardrobe will evolve over time as you purge and add new pieces or as your style changes, so having the flexibility to change shelf heights accordingly is key to maintaining an organized space. (Or maybe adding a drawer or two when shelving isn’t working for you anymore). That's where the Elfa system comes in – it's modular, adjustable, and can be easily reconfigured as your storage needs change. No, I’m not being paid by Elfa (god knows I wish I was, I’d be a millionaire!). Whether you're expanding your shoe collection or simplifying your clothing selection, having a customizable shelving system like Elfa ensures that your closet can adapt and grow with you. The guys at The Container Store (locally in Buckhead, Atlanta) have specialists always willing to help you design your dream closet.  So, embrace the power of adjustability and say hello to a closet that's perfectly tailored to your evolving style!

When it comes to closet organization, remember that a little effort can go a long way in creating a space that brings you joy each day. Take the time to declutter and assess your storage needs, and don't be afraid to get creative with your organization solutions. Embrace the process as an opportunity to curate a closet that reflects your unique style and makes getting ready a breeze. Remember, a well-organized closet isn't just about tidiness – it's about setting the stage for a smoother, more enjoyable daily routine.
