Mirrors are a necessary part of dressing areas in luxury closets. If space allows install a three-way mirror so you can assess yourself from all angles. Make sure your mirrors, either the mirror itself or from above, are well lit so you can clearly see your impeccable look.

For organization purposes nothing beats custom shelving and drawers. Adjustable shelves offer flexibility to accommodate different sized clothing, shoes and accessories. Here are some ideas for customizing shelving in luxury closets.

Designate an area for your jewelry and accessories. In many luxury closets homeowners install a small with jewelry and accessory drawers. Countertops allow the homeowner to look over the pieces of jewelry and other accessories they may want to include in their daily wear. Some ideas for jewelry and accessory storage:
- Small drawers with divider for scarves, ties or other items
- Dedicated recessed shelves with jewelry display

A Safe for Your Valuables
Your precious and fine jewels should be kept safe in a locked area. Luxury closets should include a safe for your valuables. Depending on the size and amount of possessions you wish to store you could select a smaller safe that fits in a cabinet or a hidden floor to ceiling unit seamlessly integrated into your space behind a panel.
Seating
Seating space is essential in luxury closets. Whether just a place to sit and tie your shoes or contemplate your day ahead after your shower seating is a great idea. Include lounge style custom seating, a big comfy couch or chair with ottoman so you can kick back and enjoy some peace and quiet after a long day.
Horizontal Storage
Of course horizontal storage is a must. Elevated horizontal cubbies and drawers keep your possessions organized and in plain view. A desk top or wide shelf atop a bank of drawers makes for the perfect space to display pictures or a lovely antique hand mirror. After all luxury closets are supposed to elicit an air of luxury.
Finishes for Luxury Closets
The finish for your custom closet’s custom cabinets, drawers and panels will match your personal style. Some popular finishes are solid wood or even a wood veneer that matches the feel and look of solid wood. Light wood such as clear finished maple, with columns and fluting is romantic and decidedly more feminine than, say, a dark cherry or even rich mahogany.
