No stylish walk-in closet should be found minus this Hooker Furniture Accents Melange Encircle Floor Mirror.
Count how many times you open your wardrobe each day and you’d realize just how useful this piece of furniture is. When it comes to walk-in closets, though, people do not seem plan just as they would layout their bathrooms or the kitchen. It’s time to take this part of your home more seriously.
The Ideal Measurements
The depth of your wardrobe, of course, varies. The ideal dimensions for a regular-sized one, though, is at 60-65 centimeters (this is already including the doors). This should allow more room for hangers, clothing, bulky pieces of clothing, and you.
If you like to have a wardrobe that has doors, then consider having the sliding type as this would save you much space. Hinged ones are suitable for more spacious walk-in closets and, even then, you can still use that extra space where the door swings out.
Consider having glass doors. They will help stop dust from accumulating on most of your clothes, shoes, and bags. See if you can also have a mirrored backboard to help reflect the light.
What is a walk-in closet without enough hanging space, right? Long coats and dresses need more space than your regular clothing so give them enough room to hang freely. This should be a space where you don’t need to fold your dresses or coats anymore. The right measurement is 188 centimeters.
Always consider the advice of a professional designer when you are going about your internal choices such as gaining extra space as well as height.

Add the Right Furniture
The walk-in closet can be as exciting as you think it to be. The only limit is your imagination so go ahead and add the best-looking furnishings. A set of drawers can be placed there that is about 80 centimeters tall. This allows for three drawers to accommodate your clothing storage requirements.
Always be consistent with the lines in your space. This ascertains that you will have a visually pleasing walk-in closet to use and also to show off from time to time.
Any fashionistas would also agree that proper shoe shelving should be set up in a walk-in closet. This is so the pairs of shoes will look new and are also easily accessible. The ideal height for a shoe shelf is about 22 to 26 centimeters. This is a home for your flats and heels and even some men’s shoes.
Maximize the Space
Since walk-in closets also make use of space, you might as well maximize what you have. You can add storage units all the way to the ceiling. Higher shelves should do the trick as well as stylish pigeon holes where you can put your off-season clothes and accessories.
Remember those boots that have been causing storage problems lately? You can now have them displayed in your walk-in closet. Just double the measurement for the shoe shelves meant for regular shoes. Your boots can now become decorative elements during those months when they are not in use.
If you have to add boxes to your shelves then do so.
A Place for Everything
Since this is a haven of sorts, then clutter should have no place in it. Everything must be in its proper place so your bags should not mix with your shoes or your clothing with your accessories. You gotta keep this room organized so that it will be one aesthetically pleasing sight to behold.
Display all your bags and other accessories just as you see them inside high-end shops. Achieve this kind of look and add some pigeon holes for your belts and the hubby’s neckties. There should also be a separate area for the millinery (or the hats).

The Hooker Furniture Living Room Yates Ottoman is perfect for HIS walk-in closet.
Great closets are one of the most sought-after pieces in every home. In places where space costs you a leg (e.g. New York City), you need to make wise use of every inch that you pay for. New Yorkers are even willing to pay for tiny, cage-like pieces with a lock for mere safekeeping.
Closets can be turned into space which even serves as a home for people from this state. While this is not what is being suggested, this just says a lot about how walk-in closets are the most amazing utilitarian spaces.
The Minimalist
Luckily for most people, there is no need to turn a closet into their living space. They can just enjoy their homes and, in fact, they even have ample space to spare. It is these spaces that can be converted into a beautiful, simple walk-in closet.
Even a small wardrobe can be turned into a walk-in closet. Keep it classy and classic. This is the perfect organization space for your statement and prized pieces.
A Lady’s Dream
A huge walk-in closet is every lady’s dream. Even large families can share this space. It can be luxurious-looking or it can be low-key. But, as always, it is always a space that can showcase a woman’s shoe or dress collection.
Those clothes in a storage unit can be transferred for good inside the walk-in closet. If you’re feeling it, you can even add a dress form mannequin to complete the room.
A DIY Project
Here are some steps that you can make a space become a walk-in closet –
A Versatile Space
The walk-in closet also offers an opportunity to create depth in a bedroom. Since this room is often situated inside the master bedroom, it should be versatile and spacious enough to carry clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags, and just about every piece of accessory that he or she owns.
Bring in the right furniture pieces into this space. Primarily, you need a wardrobe that can serve as the focal point in this new room. Be sure to bring in a bench or two, some chairs, carpeting or an area rug, even full-length mirrors.
Shelving units and drawers are always wonderful additions.

An Accessory Habitat
Banish all those shoes that have been scattered on the floor for the longest time. You could have shelves and organizers specifically for your shoe collection. These same shelving units can be used to house your wide array of bags and other accessories.
Make sure to use the floor space, too, for your high heels and boots. These are the ones that often don’t fit inside shelves so better create a space for them on the carpeted floor.
