Elevate your closet with expert tips! Transform your space into a luxurious haven with these design ideas.
If you have a walk-in closet, you might already appreciate how fortunate you are to have space for all your belongings — and the ability to showcase your fashion and interior decor in a luxurious way. However, even if your master closet is a simple space, you can still make dressing a truly luxurious experience.
Nothing adds glamor to your home like turning the simple act of getting ready for the day into a five-star experience. How can you make the most of this space? Here are six tips for leveling up your master closet design.
1. Clear the Clutter
If your master closet is a mess of yet-unpacked boxes and clothing in various stages of freshness scattered about, you probably want to keep the doors closed. A well-organized space allows you to open it without disrupting the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.
Start by taking everything out of your closet and grabbing some garment bags in which to place your belongings while you get to work. Sort items into three piles — to keep, donate or sell, and recycle or upcycle. Stow delicate items in bags while you complete the rest of your overhaul.
With your inventory of items fresh in mind, look at your closet with an organizer’s eye. You want to create a bespoke space that adds a touch of sophistication to your overall bedroom theme. Imagine a homebuyer touring the property, even if you have no plans to sell — what would make your jaw drop if you were in their shoes?
2. Introduce Plush Seating
Anyone who has ever tried to button a pair of skinny jeans knows that it’s easier to do so lying on your bed or couch. To allow yourself to complete getting dressed in privacy, add some seating to your master closet.
Such an amenity might seem frivolous, but it’s not. You can have a seat to determine whether that above-the-knee pencil skirt will ride up too high on the thigh to look workplace appropriate before you spend all day at the office tugging at the seam.
3. Choose Flattering Lighting
Who hasn’t nearly burst into tears when trying on clothes at a department store with harsh, overhead fluorescent lighting? You want to start every morning with a confidence boost. Make sure your master closet’s interior lighting flatters you — and while you’re at it, consider fixtures that add serious style, like metallics.
Recessed can lights and track lighting that illuminates your favorite pieces look decades more modern than a single hanging fixture or a buzzing fluorescent. Use care when selecting your bulbs, seeking those with a color temperature around 2,700K for a flattering soft, warm glow that helps you feel glamorous no matter how tired you really are.
4. Mirrors Are Musts
There are two main benefits to adding mirrors in your master closet. First, you want to see how you look from all angles. Create space in the back of your closet so you can hang one mirror on that wall. Follow it with another behind the door to give you a front-to-back view of your ensemble.
Secondly, mirrors can make your closet seem brighter and more expansive than it really is by reflecting light and creating an illusion of space. This can help you embrace spending more time in what previously may have felt like a stuffy master closet.
If your space is big enough, you might likewise want to add a makeup table and mirror to your master closet.
5. Consider Custom Shelving
A trip to your favorite home improvement store reveals no shortage of closet organizing systems. If you can find a model that suits your needs, go ahead and invest — the ability to hang all your dresses and store all your shoes will do wonders for keeping your master closet looking clean.
However, you might need further customization depending on your unique wardrobe. If you or your mate wear big or tall sizes, you might have to adjust your rod or shelf height to allow for hanging dress shirts above pants. If your footwear collection rivals that of a Hollywood diva, a custom rack keeps them off the floor and in tip-top shape.
6. Make Dressing a Sensory Celebration
The way you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Why not give yourself a glam attitude adjustment each time you dress by engaging your senses?
Aromatic cedar keeps moths at bay, helping to protect your garments. If you have outlets within, why not add an aromatherapy mister that will gently imbue your clothes with your signature scent, eliminating the need for overbearing perfumes?
A ceiling fan keeps you comfortable when you try on outfit after outfit for that big summer date. Just for fun, throw in a Bluetooth speaker for some mood music while you ready yourself for the day.

Adding luxurious seating options, elegant lighting and customized storage solutions can make even your closet feel like a place you want to be in all day.
