3 Tips for Creating an Amazing Master Closet

Closets aren’t merely a place to hang your clothes, but a hidden gem of opportunity for organization and simplicity that can set the stage for your entire home. At Heartland Builders we understand the importance of the finer details in building new homes in West Michigan. With these tips and you can wake up each morning feeling like you are stepping into a high-end boutique—just by opening your closet door.

Light is King—If you only take away one thing from this blog, let this be it. Like a crown jewel atop the head of the queen, proper lighting not only ensures that you walk out the door with matching shoes; it creates instant atmosphere. Whether it’s a window that allows natural light to filter into the space, a chandelier that conveys luxury and charm, or recessed lighting to illuminate shoes and accessories, proper lighting is an easy and effective way to create ambiance and functionality.

Everything in its Place—A phrase you may have heard a time or two in your childhood, this mantra holds true even when building new homes in West Michigan. Shoe shelving, jewelry trays, valet rods, pants hangers and tie racks are just some of the elements every homeowner should take into account when designing a master closet. For an even cleaner look, consider adding doors to various clothing and accessory areas. And, because closets aren’t just where clothes go on, designated laundry bins or even a stackable washer and dryer, add convenience and functionality to any closet.

Waste Not, Want Not—Regardless of its size, most closets are vastly underutilized. For more clever corners, install 360-degree carousels that can house anything from shoes to sweaters. Take advantage of vertical spaces by using pull-down clothing rods for easy access. Adjustable shelving allows for easy transition from one season to the next. And, custom islands can provide ample storage, while taking advantage of otherwise dead space in your new home in West Michigan.
