AFTER THIS RE-DO, YOUR MODERN CLOSET WILL BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE ROOM

TRENDS GONE BAD “Shoes tucked under hanging clothes on the floor—when you can’t see what you have, you can’t wear it! Visibility and accessibility is so important in a closet design.”
Designing a closet as unique as you are is no small feat. Whether you have a spacious walk-in or a small coat closet, organization and design are key to creating a comfortable and appealing home for your clothes and accessories. And just like your favorite designer threads, closets have trends too, often mirroring that of the rest of the home to create a cohesive look. The trend is modern which according to Erin Hardy, National Design Manager at California Closets, is “a clutter-free space with a timeless finish palette of materials, clean lines, and a place for everything.” Hardy shared valuable tips with us on how to stay on trend and achieve your best closets at home.
SMALL BUT MIGHTY “It’s really astounding how much ‘space’ you can gain with a closet system, even a basic one, at that! Storing seasonal items elsewhere is also a great way to maximize limited space.”
The Essentials
ISLAND PARADISE “My favorite aspect is an island—if there is space, of course. The look of a closet with an island is glamorous and it adds so much functionality that the customer never knew they had.”
WALKING ON A CLOUD Add some texture to your closet with a luxe area rug.
