5 Ways To Upgrade Your Master Closet [2025]
Your custom master closet should be made to suit your needs. If you wear a lot of dresses, you’ll want plenty of tall hanging storage to accommodate your wardrobe. If you are a watch or jewelry collector, you need storage that makes sense for these accessories. Maybe you’re a hat or shoe collector. Whatever the case, your customized closet should make you feel relaxed and refreshed when you enter it.
It’s easy to have an unorganized, cluttered closet but intentionally designing your master closet will help this space remain a comfortable clothing oasis that streamlines your daily routine and brings you joy.
LIGHTING YOUR CUSTOM MASTER CLOSET
Ask your home designer to create a 3D rendering of your master closet. A 3D rendering will help you envision how natural light interacts with your space. Aim for plenty of light in the master closet to create an open and airy room where you can feel your best and dress for a successful day.
Add a unique pendant light for an opulent experience like this mini chandelier from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Ask your builder about installing under-cabinet lighting to highlight your customized shelving and make your collection truly stand out.
Under-cabinet lighting will help your closet look cohesive and inviting. Depending on how you’ll be using your closet and how much light you already have, you’ll want to add task lighting as well.
CUSTOM STORAGE AND BUILT-INS
Add customized storage for your fashion collections, hat racks or stands, jewelry bureaus, shoe storage, or whatever it takes to make your closet look just as fabulous as its contents.
A CLOSET ISLAND
Add a closet island with plenty of drawers to your space. A closet island creates a second layer of storage and gives you a flat space to lay out clothing, select jewelry, or display more of your cherished favorites.
ADD A DRESSING TABLE
A dressing table is a great alternative if you don’t like the look of a closet island or don’t think you’d use it. Your master closet should be all about what makes sense for you, your unique taste and aesthetic, and of course your fashion sense.
A dressing table may have a chair or bench with under-knee space so you may sit and try on hats, scarves, or brooches. Ask your home designer to add task lighting to this space.
ADD A BUILT-IN BENCH
If you don’t like the look of a closet island, you may find a built-in bench more useful. A bench in your closet can make it feel welcoming and cozy and it provides the perfect place to sit to try on shoes, stockings, and garters.
A gorgeous bench can help tie the room together and add opulence and comfort. Ask your home designer to allow plenty of space for this piece of furniture, or you can ask them about customizing a built-in bench as a permanent fixture.
