Custom Lighting

A dark or dim closet makes it impossible to find what you’re looking for. When you design your new closet space consider the practical addition of custom lighting.

Mirrors

When space allows, all luxury closets should be equipped with a dressing area. That way to can accessorize and adjust your outfits as you desire. 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. 

Custom Shelving

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. 

• Vertical shelves to store your shoes and footwear at eye level
• Bins for oversized and bulky items like sweaters and shawls
• Drawers for lingerie or smaller items
• Elevated shelves for those items you use infrequently

Of course your custom shelving reflects your lifestyle and the size of your closet.

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 
• Glass topped shelves with fine jewelry in view beneath
• Slide-out shelving with jewelry display cases installed

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.
