Creative Closet Design Ideas

Redesigning your closet is your opportunity to get the closet design that you have long been seeking – from a place for everything to a full length mirror – your options are only as limited as your imagination for your closet design ideas allows them to be. A creatively designed closet can help to organize your bedroom and help to keep your home free of clutter.

Who hasn’t spent time racing around their home looking under the furniture for a missing shoe! Make frantic searching a thing of the past and create an organized closet that makes it a snap to keep your bedroom and entire home clutter free!

To start off your closet design ideas consider doing a few sketches of how you are envisioning your end result – by putting it all down on paper you will be a much better position to start scouting for the organizational pieces that will bring the entire design together.

The Bits ‘n Pieces

To help you keep your odds and ends and bits and pieces organized consider using one of the basic closet design ideas in the form of simple hooks set up in a row on a wall or perhaps even on the back side of your door. The hooks can be used to hang up your winter and summer scarves, your seldom used evening purses, or your clunky belts that simply won’t fit anywhere else. In lieu of using individual hooks consider using a hanging coat plate that will help you to fully utilize an otherwise useless corner of your closet.

The more space that you can dedicate to those little pieces that would otherwise clutter your bedroom and your home in general, the better organizational you will be able to achieve.

Storage, Storage, Storage

One of primary complaints from homeowners is that they simply do not have adequate storage for their shoes, their jackets, their sweaters – for their stuff! Useful closet design ideas include taking advantage of the height of your closet to install shelves or storage cabinets above your clothing racks. This still gives you ample space for you to hang up your clothing but it also provides you with the space that you have been looking for. Take a look at the storage systems offered at Ikea – not only do they offer cabinets that can conceal what is inside of them but they also offer cubby storage (along with a variety of storage baskets to suit every taste) that can be installed along an otherwise uselessly small wall space. This makes a great solution for stashing your sweaters and other winter clothing pieces during the summer months.

A few other creative closet design ideas include:

  • A large drawer system that can make it much easier to store and locate your tshirts, pajamas, and even your belts.
  • A shelf system that can hold shoeboxes is an excellent method of keeping your shoes organized an in one place. Plastic totes for shoes are readily available and can help to keep your seldom-used shoes free of dust and cobwebs.
  • Don’t forget that you can bring a little bit more personality into your closet by painting the walls prior to starting the process of installing the clothing racks, shelving units and other storage solutions.
