For many people, closets are often considered storage areas for clothes, shoes, jewelry, or anything else they wish to keep behind closed doors. However, these spaces can serve a much greater purpose than this. If you have plans to renovate your bedroom closet, here are some tips to help you turn it into a functional showcase area.

Take an inventory

Before you start searching for shelves, drawers, and aesthetically pleasing hangers, you need to do an inventory first. Remove everything from your closet and sort it. Group your belongings based on what you want to keep, sell or donate. Place the items for donation or selling in storage boxes, label them accordingly, and store them somewhere else for the time being.

Once you’ve cleared out your closet, try to envision what you want your space to look like, and consider what you’ll need based on this. For instance, if your wardrobe consists of long dresses or coats, then you need a tall hanging space to accommodate them all. Be honest when doing your inventory, and get rid of any sentimental clutter.

Create a closet plan

After taking inventory and purging your closet, the next step is to develop a closet renovation plan. When formulating a plan, you need to consider your space, budget, timeline, design, and remodeling options. Measure your closet and set a budget. Ensure that you are comfortable with the figure you’ve set, as you don’t want to drain your savings with unnecessary additions. Decide whether you will be renovating it yourself, hire a professional, or work with a closet company.

Personalize your closet

Your closet should project your character and identity. Decorate it with unique embellishments and design your closet based on your priorities and preferences. For instance, if you love accessories, consider installing easy-to-access racks to store your collection. Choose construction materials that mirror your personality and personal style.

Consider cost-savings options

If your budget is limited, there are several economical options that you can utilize. Since you already have a general idea of what you want to achieve for your closet, you can look for alternatives that won’t break the bank:

  1. Give it a fresh paint color or use wallpaper with an accent color
  2. Use uniform hangers
  3. Install inexpensive lighting fixtures
  4. Utilize space-savings storage bins to keep everything organized

Remember that your goal should be to make your closet comfortable and functional for you.

Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional designer, the end result should be comfort and functionality.

Have a system in place

After revamping your closet, you must keep it clean and organized. When organizing your clothes, create a system that works for you. Regardless of how visually appealing your closet turns out, if it continues to be unorganized and dirty, it won’t serve you well.

A well-designed closet goes beyond aesthetics. Your closet should be a reflection of your character and personality. Make sure to give it a personalized touch, and do not be afraid to go beyond the norm.
