Innovative Closets That Will Inspire You

By: Yassmine ElSayed

CAIRO, Jan. 3 (SEE) - Clothes can be a mess, if they were left everywhere. If your bedroom closet is overflowing or its contents no longer suit your life, still there is a solution. Closets are developed by time, not just to easily have all clothes, but also, to have other items, so that people can save places in their homes.

In a recent piece

published by Houzz.com, interior design experts assembled the latest  deigns for closets that have innovative

aspects and looks.

1. Everything Has

Its Place

A network of shelves, drawers and rods makes room for all manner of clothing in

this reach-in closet by Built-Rite Closets in Westchester County, New York.

There are hanging rods for pants, dresses and blouses, as well as shelves for

T-shirts and cubbies for scarves. The key to such thoughtful design is

assessing possessions and determining the best way to store them, then

tailoring your storage solutions to fit the items you own.

2. Mountable Shoe

Racks

This closet has plenty of built-in storage, which, depending on your space, may

or may not be something you can emulate. But what really stands out in this

photo by Fotograf Camilla Ropers is the shoe storage wall. Simple wall-mounted

racks offer space for 32 pairs of shoes and provide a neat, attractive way to

display them.

3. Closet Without

Doors

This is a standard-width closet without the standard sliding doors. If seeing

all your items at a glance would help you streamline your morning routine,

going doorless could be for you. The strategy might work best in rooms where

the closet is tucked away in an area not visible from the bed. This custom

closet is from Tailored Living of Mercer, Monmouth, Middlesex in New Jersey

4. Pull-Down Rack

This closet in Mill Valley, California, by Precision Cabinets has a lot of custom built-ins, but

the pull-down clothing rack is the feature that stands out. It takes advantage

of the closet’s vertical space to include double rods and makes garments on the

top rod easier to reach. This feature could work in a smaller walk-in closet as

well.

5. Spare-Room

Conversion

If you have the space, turning a spare bedroom into an expansive closet and

dressing room can create more than enough storage space. Here, an unused

room in a Portland, Oregon, home serves as a full-fledged dressing room with

custom boutique-style racks. This remodel project is from design-build

firm Arciform.
