You can utilize your master closet space and turn it into something beautiful. It’s a large space not only used for clothes. You can make it into an extended part of your home that’s like another, smaller room. Besides, getting dressed in your glamorous master closet is one way to feel good about yourself. By installing a pull-out ironing board, washer and dryer, transparent glass tables, and even a chandelier, you can turn your boring, basic master closet into something truly special.

Install A Master Closet Island

Adding a master closet island is the perfect solution to elevating your closet game. This is the centerpiece of your master closet and a place that serves as storage, a makeup station, accessory storage, and a mini-shoe closet. Imagine yourself picking out your favorite outfits, and then dazzling your body with jewelry and makeup on your master closet island. This is a great place for added creativity, where you can hang a chandelier above the island to add a bit of luxury.

Use your island to add shelves, hanging rods, and drawers to easily display your clothes, accessories, and shoes and make them easy to access. Blogger Lauren Messiah said, “So last night I went to IKEA and bought my supplies. With a little Lauren-style decorating, this island would be the greatest thing my closet had ever seen. Hopefully. I do have some pretty terrible IKEA-related memories and I’d be doing this ALL by myself.” She managed to build her closet island for $300. It’s easy to do this on a budget, so every time you walk into your master closet, it’ll feel like you’re shopping at the mall with your extensive display (Lauren Messiah).

Design A Farmhouse Master Closet

If you decorate your home in farmhouse style, then you’d want to transform your master closet to match that style. This is easy to do on a tight budget. With a little bit of rustic charm using reclaimed wood shelves, a vintage dresser as a statement piece, and custom-built cubbies for accessories, you’ll have your very own unique style.

To keep your master closet discreet, add sliding barn doors, plush rugs, and woven bins. Add a full-length mirror, built-in rustic shelves, small wicker baskets for your smaller accessories, and wall shelves to add a sleek element to your closet. Colors that pair well with the farmhouse master closet are navy, blue-gray, black, olive green, gray, and beige (Closets By Liberty).

Make Use Of Your Wall Space

There’s a lot of wall space in your closet, so consider taking advantage of it! You can easily add a collection of hooks to the wall, hang purses or hats, or use a hook and hang jewelry. Or, you can take it a step further with an easy DIY project and install floating shelves just above the closet rods. If you have little floor space in your closet, walls are your next best bet for maximizing storage space and turning your master closet into a glamorous room.

Mary Cornetta from Better Homes and Gardens suggests using shelves to organize your closet. She says, “The top shelf, usually found above the top rod, is ideal for things you rarely use. For example, special occasion bags, shoes, holiday sweaters, or off-season clothes can be placed into labeled bins or boxes and lined across the shelf. Add a small step ladder to your closet to reach these items when needed.” That way, your most worn, easy-to-grab items are within reach (BHG).

My Custom Closet

Add Flashy Curtains For A Personal Touch

By adding curtains to your master closet, you’ll have a more traditional look that’s chic and modern. Your closet will look more complete. It adds a moderate lighting factor that helps your master closet look more inviting. By obscuring your closet from view, it’s a space that only you can enjoy. Bryan Fulop from My Custom Closet suggests that curtains, create “a polished, high-end look to any room. Metal rings and a metal rod are going to be the most “fluid” for opening and closing the drapes or perhaps a “track rod” and with drapery hooks. We love the visual options drapery can add to a room.”

There are different ways drapery can work. He goes on to say, “The drapery can soften a room, or add pattern and pop to an otherwise neutral space. Curtain panels can quickly hide clutter when, even with a well-designed closet, you are in a rush and don’t take the time to fold and hang and put belongings back the way they should be. Simply pull the curtain shut and you are good to go! The visual eyesore is immediately hidden.” This is a great, glamorous fix for those of you constantly on the go. It saves time, while also adding a bit of style to your space (My Custom Closet).

Get Smart With Smart Closet Technology

If you have a smart home, why not extend that to your master closet? You can incorporate smart features like motorized wardrobe lifts, automated lights, and a digital inventory system. Not only will your closet feel more luxurious, but more modern. You can install a rotating rack, so you’ll never have to wear the same outfit twice in one week!

This saves you time instead of going through and picking out your outfit. You can think about the good old days of pulling open drawers and sorting through your clothes. Another smart feature is the smart mirror, where you can switch on Netflix while getting dressed, or respond to emails while putting your laundry away. Multi-tasking has never been easier (Mansion Global).

Add Depth By Painting It Black

For those of you with a smaller master closet, try painting it black or a dark color to add depth to the space. When the door to your master closet is open, it’ll make it look bigger than it is.

According to The Spruce, “The deep matte color adds depth to the space, making it feel larger by erasing the perception of where the walls begin or end. The closet has room enough for a small dresser that is painted in the same shade to help it blend in.” When it’s painted in a beautiful color that contrasts with the lighter colors around it, it will make the space look cohesive (The Spruce).

Get Unique With Graffiti On The Mirrors

To give your closet the illusion of more space, try installing full-length mirrors. This reflects light and adds a touch of glamor. It also makes it easier to check your outfit from head to toe, instead of holding a smaller mirror and trying to angle it down across your body. You can paint some bright colors on the walls next to the mirror, and spray some graffiti words onto your mirror for a bit of added uniqueness. This is an imaginative way to add some personal flavor to your walk-in closet.

If you have a narrow space, try adding your mirror to the end of your walk-in closet. To make it even classier, add a mirror to your ceiling to promote the feeling of open space. This, paired with glass doors, will make your room seem much bigger than it is (Home Designing).

Go Transparent

Try adding a transparent glass console table under the window of your master closet. Tables that don’t take up a lot of visual space work by doubling as either a dressing table or display space.

Hang a crystal chandelier on the ceiling of your master closet to reflect the light, without blocking the window. It will also sparkle at night, and the transparent glass table will reflect the light. This will add depth and space to your master closet, and create a place to store items without visually taking away space in the room (The Spruce).

Use Patterned Wallpaper Or An Accent Wall

You can choose a stylish wallpaper or create an accent wall with a bold pattern to infuse personality and glamour into the space. This can be particularly effective in smaller closets, where you don’t have much space to work with. If you want to go bold, choose wallpaper that has a bright, colorful design so you can fall in love every time you open up those doors.

Heather Hamel from Spoak suggests “considering the surroundings and how/if they should fit in with the adjoining room. I like to stay within the same theme for bedroom closets so that it feels very continuous and well thought out. Hallway, laundry, and utility closets (etc.) can be a bit more exciting and out of the box. For example, I have a hallway linen closet that’s pretty small, and I also have this wallpaper that I’ve loved for months but could never fit into any of my designs. It was the perfect combination! It’s a bright-colored leaf wallpaper, and whenever I open my closet, it’s like a beautiful surprise. It’s the best.” Why not wow yourself every time you open your master closet? You deserve that treat! (Spoak).

Glass Display Cases

There’s no better way to look at your jewelry and other personal items than with a glass display case. It elevates your master closet from a personal space into one of glitz and glam. It makes it easier to see what you own and what will pair best with each outfit. To create a beautiful glow in your space, you can add a chandelier or unique wall lamps to enhance the glow. It’s an easy way to reflect your personality.

With glass display cases, you’re much more likely to keep your closet organized. You won’t waste any more time digging through a dark and cluttered closet. You’re also more likely to take pride in what you own since you can keep it out on display. In turn, this leads to a more intentional, sustainable closet (Bienal Closets).

A Master Closet Glowing With LED Light Strips

To highlight specific areas in your master closet, try installing LED strip lights. You can add these to shelves, your shoe collection, and display cases to ensure your living space has adequate visibility. Choose lighting that fits the mood depending on how you want to decorate your closet. This can be daylight or warm lighting, or yellow and warm lights.

Some LED strips are waterproof, while others are not. Since you’re only installing them in your master closet, you only need non-waterproof lights, unless you plan on throwing around some water. It’s important to determine the length of the LED light and where you’re going to place it before you purchase them, to make the process much smoother (Lepro).

A Master Closet With A Washer And Dryer

Imagine walking inside your master closet and seeing a washer and dryer right before your eyes. No more having to stumble into the basement holding a laundry basket, or walk to the other side of the house. You can easily undress inside your master closet and toss your dirty clothes straight into the laundry. This glamorous design is for those of you who love convenience. Not only will this keep your clothes organized, but it’ll save you time during your morning routine. You can easily keep your delicate clothing items separate from your other items, and wash your clothes at convenient times.

These people on Reddit want to decorate their master closet with a washer and dryer, and said, “I sat there wondering why this isn’t a standard thing everywhere – NO MORE LAUNDRY BASKETS, no lugging laundry upstairs and dropping socks. No dirty laundry pile to drag back down the stairs. It’s all in one room!” They hit the nail about how exciting it is to combine your laundry room with your master closet (Reddit).

Get Fancy With Crystal Chandelier Lighting

Nothing screams glamorous more than chandelier lighting. You can easily install a stunning chandelier or pendant lights to add a touch of luxury to the closet. It not only provides ample lighting but also serves as a glamorous focal point. This is a great alternative if your master closet doesn’t receive much natural light from the outside.

One way to do this is to bedazzle your master closet with crystals and glass fixtures. A blogger from Lightopia said, “Crystals and glass tend to convey a very elegant, luxurious tone through the material and how it refracts light. The chandelier shown in this walk-in closet features clear glass flowers to add elegance but also convey a sense of whimsy. This chandelier shows how diverse this category of lighting is and shows the potential for creating a design that is both elegant and youthful through the luxurious material and their theming.” You can build your very own princess-esque closet through this sort of chandelier lighting (Lightopia).

Use Baskets and Shelves for Shoes

Oftentimes, shoe storage gets overlooked when you’re designing a master closet. But those shoes need to go somewhere! Consider adding baskets to the shelves in your closet and organizing them for your shoes. This will keep your shoes off the floor and out of sight. They’re also easy to reach.

Mix it up by adding open and closed storage. In one section of the shelf, use open storage for your shoes. In another section, add baskets. You can also do this for your clothing and accessories. According to The Spruce, “If you are in the process of designing a closet, make sure to incorporate both open and closed shelving to accommodate various types of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Keep in-season and frequently worn shoes on open shelves for convenient access and store out-of-season pairs. For example, during the winter season, store away flip-flops in baskets or behind closet doors.” It’s all about using your storage the right way to make the most of your closet space (The Spruce).

The Home I Create

Add A Cozy Seating Area

What better way to make the most of your master closet than to add a cozy seating area? This can be a space you use to journal, read books, write, or meditate. You can add plush cushions, comfortable chairs, and pillows to make the most of your space. Your master closet doesn’t just have to house your clothes, it can be a place you come to relax, too.

A blogger from The Home I Create said, “The first thing you need to create a cozy sitting area in your is a comfy chair. This is not the spot for petite chairs that you perch on. You want chairs that are generous in size since they allow you to curl up comfortably. No matter where you have a seating area you should always have a surface within reach to place things like a drink.” You can also use this seating area in your home as a place to get ready with your friends (The Home I Create).

Use Your Ties To Decorate

If you or your partner has a ton of colorful ties lying around, you can hang them up in color order. Make sure they’re exposed in your master closet because they can double as a wall decoration. You can choose to keep them behind a glass case or keep them fully exposed so they’re easy to access and reach. The more colorful and patterned your ties are, the more fun you can have decorating your master close with them!

Consider arranging the ties in a gradient pattern, transitioning seamlessly from one hue to another. This not only adds a visually striking element to your closet but also makes finding the perfect tie for any occasion a breeze. Experiment with different hanging methods, such as using pegs or a custom tie rack, to showcase your collection with flair. Embracing this vibrant and organized approach turns your tie collection into a functional and stylish part of your everyday routine.(Pinterest).

Incorporate A Window For Natural Light

One of the most important elements of a glamorous master closet is a window. This is the best way to incorporate natural light, and when natural light pours in, it brightens up the room and gives it a warm and inviting atmosphere. This will also help reduce your energy bills since you don’t have to rely on artificial lighting throughout the day. This will also give you more access to views of the outdoors, which in turn will help make your mornings brighter and more enjoyable. There’s nothing better than getting dressed in your master closet as the sunlight pours in through your window.

Designer Lori Dominey said, “Having a window in your closet gives the room character. Designers will use it to create a focal point. The space can be used to display or store your items under or around the window. We are not at all afraid of windows.” Why not bring your personality into your room with your window? (Inspired Closets).

Ladder for High Shelves

Install a sliding or rolling ladder to access high shelves easily, adding a touch of sophistication reminiscent of libraries. You can either buy a rolling ladder or go the DIY route and make one yourself. You’ll need a variety of tools to build the ladder and make sure it’s safe and sturdy to use.

According to Closet Art, these ladders serve a greater purpose. They write, “Library ladders can be added to any room in the home and are a unique and fashionable alternative to traditional step ladders, which are often not tall enough to reach higher storage spaces. You can have your custom ladder attached to a sliding bar to increase sturdiness and balance while providing access to an entire wall of your home office, library, kitchen, or closet. With no more struggling and stretching on unsteady objects, you’ll love the character and utility of your new library ladder.” This is a great way to get to those hard-to-reach places you wouldn’t otherwise have. If you have a room that’s in a farmhouse style, the ladder is a great addition (Closet Art USA).

Sliding Barn Doors For A Rustic Look

By incorporating sliding barn doors into your master closet, you can replace traditional doors for a rustic and trendy aesthetic while saving space compared to swinging doors. Swinging doors take up tons of space as you enter or leave your master closet. Sliding doors are easy to move and don’t take up much space. They’re also easy to hide and keep open if needed.

According to Closets4LessBucks, “This charming style features distressed wood panels with a natural finish that adds instant character and charm to any room. Also, the hardware of this barn door design gives it an industrial look, so it can effortlessly complete the rustic feel of your bedroom.” When it has a sleek design, it won’t overpower the room, and its timeless look will keep your master closet glamorous for years (Closet4LessBucks).

Scented Drawer Liners

Infuse a pleasant aroma into your closet by using scented drawer liners. This adds a subtle touch of luxury. You can purchase long-lasting drawer liners that make your drawers smell delicious and fresh. This is a wonderful way to keep your clothes smelling good, even after you toss them in the laundry.

They might smell strong at first, but after a little bit of time, their fragrance will lessen and they’ll start to smell less strong. You can choose between beautiful designs that match the glamour of your walk-in closet (The Master Herbalist).

Ceiling-Mounted Clothing Rack

Whoever said your clothing racks have to be on the floor? You can completely utilize ceiling space by adding a ceiling-mounted clothing rack for additional storage without taking up floor space.

According to blogger Clothes Minded Interiors, “the garment rack can serve so many great purposes to keep you organized. It also enhances interior style while providing a great solution to storage space limitations. Some of my favorite ways to use it, are to display “of the moment” seasonal favorites, weekly outfit planning, or to arrange my unique specialty items.” Because there’s ample wall and ceiling space in your master closet, utilizing that space with glamorous ceiling-mounted clothing racks is a great way to utilize that space (Clothes Minded Interiors).

Custom Drawer Dividers

Glamorizing your master closet doesn’t have to stop with the furniture and organization. This can easily extend to customized drawer dividers that neatly organize smaller items like socks, underwear, and accessories. If the interior of your drawers is organized, you’re more likely to keep your entire closet organized.

To turn this into a DIY project, you can use cardboard cutouts to organize your drawers. Blogger from The Homes I Have Made wrote, “Whether you move a lot like we do or your needs for a particular drawer simply change with time, DIY drawer dividers are much more disposable than their store-bought counterparts. Not only is my version made with cardboard you likely already have around the house; but if you no longer need a particular divider, you can simply toss it into the trash/recycling instead of having to store, sell, or donate the non-disposable version.” You can even decorate your drawer dividers that match the wallpaper in your master closet (The Homes I Have Made).

Color Coordinate Your Closet

One of the best ways to give your master closet that glamorous organization it deserves is to organize it by color. This will make your closet visually appealing and bring a more cohesive look into your space. It also makes it easier to find specific items and adds a sense of order and sophistication to your closet.

According to the blog Simply Spaced, “Use the rainbow (ROY G BIV) to color coordinate: White, tan, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, grey, black. If you have patterned items with multiple colors, create a “patterned section” or decide on its primary color and group it with that color.” The more organized your master closet is, the easier it will be to find items and save time getting dressed (Simply Spaced).

Cabinet with Pull-Out Ironing Board

Make your life much easier and install a pull-out ironing board in your master closet. You can build it into a convenient and discreet space to iron and prepare your clothes. If you have your washer and dryer in your master closet too, then it acts as a three-for-one room! This will save you time instead of having to run around your house from the laundry room, ironing room, and master closet.

It’s a great way to save space, especially if you don’t have much space to work with. Instead of having to fold up your ironing board every time and put it back in your closet, you can easily open and close the cabinet holding the ironing board, saving you both time and space (Pinterest).

Decorate With Greenery

Introduce greenery with hanging planters and pots full of greenery inside the closet. This adds a touch of nature and freshness to your space. Utilize your ceiling space to hang pots, or use the open areas on dressers or vanities in your closet space to place a plant. Plants can improve the quality of your space. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, thus making your space cleaner. There’s nothing better than getting ready in a cozy, clean environment surrounded by greenery.

Additionally, consider low-maintenance plants like succulents or air-purifying varieties to enhance the air quality further. Their resilience makes them ideal for a closet setting, requiring minimal attention while still contributing to a healthier atmosphere. The juxtaposition of lush greenery against your ties creates a harmonious blend of nature and style, transforming your master closet into a rejuvenating oasis. Embrace the therapeutic benefits of a green space, and relish the delightful combination of organized ties and flourishing plants as you start your day in this inviting sanctuary. (BHG)
