L-shaped masterpieces are one of the most amazing feats of modern architecture and design. Before you start building your own, here are some guidelines to keep in mind to ensure that your walk-in closet will be functional, beautiful and super-efficient. The goal with L-shaped walk-ins is not to cram as much stuff into them as possible, but rather to use their space wisely to help you get dressed and stay organized while not wasting any space at all.
What do you want in a closet?
I love my new walk-in closet and it has everything I could have ever dreamed of. The ALLURE Collection offers a variety of styles and colors to suit any taste. One of the first things I noticed about my new walk-in closet is that it is open. I can look at all my clothes, shoes, accessories and more without having to pull anything out because there is plenty of space for me to move around. There is also plenty of storage with the Open Closet System which you can customize according to your needs. My favorite part about this closet though is how much light it gets because one side opens up to an entire wall full of windows! It’s such a beautiful way to start my day…
How to get started
Are you ready to start designing your dream closet? Let us show you how! It’s not too hard to create an attractive and functional walk-in closet. The first step is figuring out what style best suits your space and the clothes that will be stored in it. If you’re not sure, we recommend starting with an Allure Open Closet – a versatile design for most any home. Simply measure the length and width of your space and look through our gallery for inspiration before getting started on your custom design.
Functional lighting
In order to maintain order in your closet, it is important to create a system. The easiest way to do this is by using wall organizers and hooks. They will allow you to see everything that you have in your closet and take up little space, while keeping things off the floor where they can get damaged. Wall organizers also provide an easy way to keep things such as belts and scarves organized on the wall instead of on hangers, which would take up more room in the closet.
Maximize space with the right clothes hangers
It’s all about maximizing space in your closet, and the right clothes hangers make all the difference. With the help of ALLURE Hangers from Open Closet, you can create a clothing system that is both stylish and functional.
ALLURE Hangers are self-adjusting and can be clipped to each other or to any other type of hanger for an easy fit. They also come with a built-in shelf so that you can store your shoes or purses without taking up any valuable space. To get the most out of your L-shaped walk-in closet, hang shirts on one side, pants on the other, then dresses on an upper rack and coats below.
Make your closet pretty on the outside
It’s time to stop making excuses and start building your perfect walk-in closet. You know you deserve it and now I’m going to show you how to make it happen. We’re going to start with the outside of your closet, which is the most important part because this is what people are going to see when they enter your room. This is where you’ll want to invest a little extra time and money in order to create a space that truly reflects your personality. Don’t worry, we’ll take baby steps together so we don’t get overwhelmed!
Add storage with shoe organizers, crates and baskets
One way to add storage without adding visual clutter is by using bins and crates to hold things. These containers can be placed on shelves or in drawers, and they make it easy to find what you need when you need it. You can also store frequently used items like toiletries on open shelves for easy access.
In order to save on space, consider the clothes you wear most often and hang those up instead of keeping them folded in a drawer or laying them flat in a dresser. Fold the rest and stack them vertically on open shelving that’s accessible from either side. Don’t forget about the floor!
