When we think of closets most of us think of a place to
store things, a place to hide away the things that we don’t want anyone to
see. This view point is becoming less
and less common as we start to look at closets as a place to showcase our
beloved items, a place to luxuriate in our belongings and express ourselves
through design. This trend is not just
popular amongst women but men as well. Walk in closets, like any other room can
be altered and designed in many ways to accommodate your storage and display
needs but also to incorporate your style preferences.
Some of us choose to go the minimalistic route. This style screams
clean, neat and chic and keeps everything streamlined and easy to find. This type
of closet is simple yet sophisticated. The sleek edges and dark vs. light style
makes this composition very design savvy and of course, enjoyable.
Others of us choose to display more and make our closets a
place for everything to be seen. These types of closets usually incorporate
display boxes and open shoe shelves as well as strategic lighting used to
showcase certain items.
Another closet style to point out is the sitting/dressing
room. This is more of an extension to the bedroom than it is a closet. This
style usually incorporates one or multiple sitting areas and tables, there may
be a desk along with many mirrors and even a tub. This style also tends to
incorporate more design elements such as accessories, rugs, and pillows.
How would you design your dream closest?
