Make your messy closet a miracle of organization.
Some people feel that a messy closet is a messy mind. Our 7 closet design ideas are perfectly on point to keep your space—and your mind—organized.
1. Let there be light
Shed some light on your morning dressing routine by swapping out traditional closet rods for the lighted variety. You’ll be able to see your hanging shirts and slacks clearly so you’ll never have to blame a mismatched outfit on “getting dressed in the dark” again.

2. Hide-away hampers
Keep dirty clothes out of sight and out from underfoot by installing built-in clothes hampers. Hide-away hampers have several stylistic choices including slide-out wire baskets and pull-out wooden drawers
3. Show off your shoes
If you’re like most people, your taste in shoes says a lot about you. Show off your prized pumps or glossy loafers by storing them on dedicated shoe shelves. Try shelves that angle down for easy access and increased visibility.
4. Valuable vanity
When you’re getting dressed, it’s better if everything is within arm’s reach. One of the closet design ideas we love most is adding a vanity with an eye-level mirror and drawers below. You’ll be able to run a comb through your hair, put on your watch, and add a spritz of perfume or cologne without an extra trip to the bathroom.
5. Make use of corners
Don’t overlook the potential of even the tightest corners when planning a custom closet. Tucked away places are a great place to store lesser-used items like heavy overcoats and specialty luggage.
6. Take (or make) a seat
It’s not immediately obvious, but accessible seating can make all the difference in your closet. Leave room in the center of your space for a bench or build one into your shelving for a convenient spot for putting on socks and shoes with ease.
7. Leave room up top
The last of our ideas for a more functional closet design might also be the easiest to implement. Consider leaving the space above your top shelving open. These open spaces are great places to store hats, out-of-season bedding, and even sports or camping clothing and gear.
