Make your walk-in closet stand out

Once you’ve lived in a home with a walk-in closet, it’s hard to imagine going back to merely having cupboards. A walk-in closet gives every outfit, accessory and pair of shoes a space which is both a home and a showcase.

Over and above this, walk-in closets provide a way to remove clutter from both the master bedroom and the en suite bathroom. Thanks to not being crammed into a space that’s too small, your clothing will look smoother and be ready to be worn at a moment’s notice.

Your property inspiration

As a luxury that becomes a necessity, a walk-in closet should exude both practicality and style. This balance is artfully mastered in this Sibaya Precinct home, where the focal point of the walk-in closet is not shelving or cupboard space, but a stylish ottoman. Ample hanging space along both walls provides an ideal showcase for every outfit, while the neutral colour palette allows every garment and pair of shoes to put its best foot forward.

Make your walk-in closet a feature in your home

Your walk-in closet should be more than a place where you store your clothes — it should be a haven for you as well. Here are some strategies for making your walk-in closet a talking point:

Make it ultramodern

By using floating shelves and drawers unencumbered by visible handles, you can provide ample storage in your walk-in closet while simultaneously creating a clean and fresh look. Add a touch of sparkling personality to the space with marble or granite countertops.

Use lights and mirrors to maximum effect

Recessed lights can be a great way to illuminate your space — especially if vertical space is at a premium. When you’re getting ready, lighting is of the utmost importance. Under-cabinet lights can provide extra task lighting and help you create perfect looks. A three-panelled mirror will enable you to see your outfit from every angle.

Keep things organised

There are plenty of creative and stylish ways to keep your walk-in closet organised. Think stylish woven baskets or practical clear plastic containers on shelves, ottomans with storage spaces used to their maximum potential and shoe racks to keep your footwear organised.

Create a jewellery and accessories wall

Jewellery should be proudly displayed and not left in a box to get tangled up. Add a custom jewellery display shelf and organisation system to your walk-in closet. You can hang certain pieces of jewellery up so that you can admire them every time you walk into your closet.

Make it a space that multitasks

If space allows, your walk-in closet can become much more than the place you store your clothes. Complement open clothes storage at one end with a dressing table and mirror at the other end. Add a comfy chair where you can sit and contemplate your wardrobe options. Your only limit is your imagination.

Transform it into a sanctuary

A few simple but luxurious touches transform your walk-in closet from a functional space to a beautiful one. A Persian carpet on the floor, a gold-trimmed mirror or a plush chair can transform your walk-in closet into a personal haven.

Your home should inspire you

Having a walk-in closet is both a touch of luxury and a necessity. By creating a space where you can keep your wardrobe organised and ensure that garments receive the care they need, you ensure that you look your dazzling best at every occasion. Whether you’re hosting a corporate soiree or dancing the night away at a wedding, you’ll be grateful for your spacious and well-organised closet.
