I just had a call from my friend.
I visited her last month for the first time in her new home. I really liked the interior, but I found some simple and impractical closet setups.
So I suggested some easy, simple hacks for transformation.
Some of them really worked for her, and made me feel proud.
So I thought, why not share them with you all? Here are some smart DIY closet ideas that you must try.
Black Interior with Yellow Lights
I personally like black for its bold appeal.
This idea is only for those who want to have a major transformation. Just give it a try and see the stunning results.
Cream Cabinets on Blue Walls
Painting your closet creatively makes a big difference.
Have closets in beige, cream, yellow, or white. For walls, green or blue variants have a good contrast.
Bold and Subtle Color Paints
If you are afraid that black color will make the closet too dark and congested, then try adding contrast.
Have some portions, such as open shelves, in black while painting the rest in light shades.
Having an Office Desk with the Closet
If you want to have a home office but with a compact design, have it combined with the closet.
You can have cabinets above the desk and hanging space on the side.
Stylish Ceiling Light for Visibility
Ceiling light fixtures are a must to maintain high visibility inside a walk-in closet.
Focus on both aesthetics and functionality aspects for this central piece.
Using Accessories for decor
Use your signature accessories such as bags, shoes, and perfume, as display decor.
You don’t have to invest in additional decoration.
Smartly Drawers Space Usage
Make your closet drawers more functional and free of mess. Add some jewelry trays to store small items safely.
They keep small items in their place and help maintain organization.
Subtle Colors for Elegance
I must say paint color matters a lot in making any space stunning. Light colors are best for small spaces such as closets.
Try some white or cream shades for cabinets, and have wooden skin shades underneath for contrast.
Shoe Rack Inside the Closet
This is another way to make your closet more functional. Don’t have a separate shoe rack, just keep one section for it.
I personally recommend having it under the hanging portion.
Soothing Appeal with Natural Plants
I know it sounds a bit awkward to have fresh plants in your closet, but I will recommend this to you.
Your cabinets get a refreshing look by having just a small plant.
Comfortable and stylish Floor with Rugs
Rugs are available in artistic to modern designs to place inside the closet.
Pick the one that resonates with the interior.
Wall Stickers Adjacent to Closet
For your kids’ room, you have plenty of decor items to make it look more adorable.
For affordable options, use nature or cartoon-themed stickers and paste them on cabinet doors or walls.
Mirror Door for Space Usage
Have a mirror directly installed on the closet door.
Use your space smartly and have as many storage racks as you want.
Modern Appeal with Floors
If you want to have a luxury look, consider everything, particularly the flooring. Have some modern flooring options to add a luxury appeal.
This picture shows some modern design patterns.
Seating Area for More Functionality
Just like a mirror, your closet must have a seating area.
This is great to add to a large closet where you spend more time organizing your stuff.
Adorable Pink Interior
Pink is not just for the girls’ room; you can have it in the walk in closet for its soft look.
Just have some warm lights to make it look more appealing.
Garlands for Celebrations
I personally like nature-inspired decor items, so my closet must have them.
Think of having some smart options such as green strands or garlands.
Modern Seating for Convenience
An ottoman is a must-have in a walk-in closet.
Just pick some cute yet comfy pieces to make it more functional. You can take anything near the required stuff for sitting.
Stylish Hooks for Hanging Items
Hooks are a must to add in a closet for hanging clothing or other items. Invest in some modern or artistic pieces.
They look amazing on simple structures.
Optimal Space: Closet Setup above the Laundry
This is another hack to turn your laundry area into a closet. Have cabinets above the laundry area and make it more functional.
Once your clothes are dry, just fold them and put them inside the cabinets. No mess at all!
Plain Curtains for No Door Closet
In my view, it is essential to keep no-door closets always tidy; otherwise, your room will have a cluttered look.
But let’s be realistic, some days are too busy to organize stuff. So have some stylish curtains. They add more appeal and also hide your mess. Cheers!
Integrated Lights of Shelves
If you’re limited on budget and don’t have much time for woodcraft, then just add some integrated lights to the shelves.
You’ll be surprised by the final result, as warm light adds more energy.
Handwoven Baskets for Clutter-free Space
Instead of keeping your stuff directly inside the cabinets, I recommend having some handwoven baskets.
They look lovely with wooden cabinets and also keep your stuff well organized.
Basic Structure with Hanging and Shelves
For DIY woodcraft, this is the most basic and easy-to-build structure. Have some drawers, cabinets, and a hanging portion.
You can alter it according to your space layout.
Simple decor Vases and Books
Nothing can beat the elegance of minimalistic decor items.
For open shelves, dedicate some sections to them.
You can even spare the whole column shelves if space is not an issue.
More Warmth with Integrated Lights
Lights are my favorite addition to any interior.
Your closet must have some integrated lighting, particularly that which is visible from the outside.
Proper Sections for Every Item
Always create separate sections for every item. I must say, this is most important for effective storage.
Have more shoe racks if you own more footwear, and if you have more clothing, then create double hanging sections.
More Capacity: Double Hanging Rods
For adult and kids’ closets, this is an effective hack. Have double hanging rods to accommodate more clothes in one section.
Keep one rod for casual clothes and the other for fancy ones.
Mirror Wall with Artistic Wallpaper
Dedicate one side of the closet to the mirror and cover it with some unique wallpaper. This simple task upgrades your space significantly.
To highlight the wallpaper, keep the closet in plain paint colors.
Neutral Color Choice for Elegance
I personally recommend this paint color for those looking for an elegant closet setup. Grey has the tendency to hide smudges better than white.
It also gives an elegant appeal.
Timeless Beauty with Mirrors
I have always been drawn to closets with mirrors all around, so this one is my favorite.
I know it’s a bit costly and also comes with high maintenance. You will love it during your makeup sessions.
Delicate Interior with Glass
Another choice for adding extravagance is to have glass doors for the hanging section. Integrate lighting to illuminate the inside view.
Trust me! You will love the final look.
Adding More Colors to the Wall
Spring designs always remain in trend, so you can paste them along the closet.
Try out some bright colors to make the wallpaper more prominent.
Bottom Line
Just like any other part of the home, your closet must represent your creativity.
This is something I personally believe. The good news is that its transformation comes with easy steps and within budget.
DIY ideas may take some days of your life, but the satisfaction level is matchless. So do try some of them and share your experience.
