How to Design a Walk-In Closet for a Master Bedroom
A custom designed master bedroom closet can be a pure luxury. You can choose your own arrangement and storage options to create a closet that is suited to your style and taste. Designing your walk-in closet will take some time, planning and possibly some compromise with your spouse.
- Measure the space that you have available in your closet. This will help you determine what storage options you can choose and let you know the amount of storage space you have to use.
- Decide what types of storage you need. This will depend on your personal preference as well as your belongings. This can include space to hang clothing, drawers, shoe storage, shelving and possibly a floor-length mirror.
- Analyze your finances and determine how much you can afford to spend on your walk-in closet. This will help you determine the materials that you can use and what storage options you can afford to install.
- Decide what types of storage you want to install and where you want to install them. Choose the tallest space to install storage bars for your hanging clothing. You might want to place shelves above or below the hanging bars. Decide where you can place drawers to store socks, underwear and other clothing. A tall, empty wall can be a great place to install shoe storage.
- Plan for proper lighting. Proper lighting will help you choose matching outfits and check out your appearance. If you plan on installing a full-length mirror, make sure that the space is well-lit.
- Add any extras. If you want seating, a free-standing mirror or a make-up cabinet, include these in your design.
