Modern Closet Design
Closets have traditionally been an afterthought when designing and decorating a home. Many homeowners are building custom closets in Miramar Beach that go beyond function in the bedroom space to accommodate growing wardrobes and alleviate storage issues. Modern closets are following the design trends of fine kitchens and bathrooms where luxury seems to find its way in regardless of intent on doing so. Consider adding in a few luxuries such as motion detected lighting, rotating racks, movable shelves and a dressing area to create a luxury modern closet design that is completely customized.
Built-Ins
Built-ins make organizing a closet space far easier than sifting through hanging rails of clothing. No matter how organized you hang items, it can still take a while to find the right suit jacket to match a dress shirt or vice versa.
Built-in spaces for shoes, purses and accessories are also important in a closet space. This reduces big piles of shoes taking up floor space and the atrocious looking hanging bags from preventing a door from closing.
When creating a custom closet space, include shelves for t-shirts and casual clothes as well as cubby spaces for shoes, boots, purses and other accessories. A spinning rack for ties, necklaces, belts and scarves should also be included. This creates absolute organization without frustration.
High-Tech Features
Movable racks and rotating racks can easily be installed. These are operated with either wall controls or a remote control system. For those with a large wardrobe, this makes bringing frequently worn items to the forefront in a much easier fashion. It will also rotate shoe collections so that you can select a few options to try on with an outfit.
A rotating accessory rack allows you to look at the items from a distance to see which tie, necklace, scarf or belt catches your eye on a particular day.
Along with the rotating racks and shelves, you’ll need motion detection LED lighting too. The lights will come on when you enter and will go off a short time after you exit. This eliminates the issue of leaving lights on completely and is a great convenience to have for the space.
A Dressing Area
Enlarged closets are a great space to have a dressing room in. Items that are tried on and not worn can immediately be hung right back up without having to walk across the room again. This is mostly a convenience but is a common trend in high-end homes where luxury is required and space is no issue.
Door Selection
In a modern design with built-ins and proper lighting, some homeowners prefer to have doorless closets. When doors are used, they are often a modern design or plain, flat door that opens outward. Sliding doors are not often selected for an upscale closet.
For this situation, a hollow or lightweight option is fine. There is no need for a heavy door here since it is an interior application where humidity will not be an issue. A proper fit from top to bottom and side-to-side is required to maintain the stability of the frame, but weight is not needed.
Lighting
Lighting is important in a closet space. Many consumers prefer to hang clothing by type while some also prefer to hang in order of color. Regardless of the method, seeing what you have hanging in order to keep items in their proper place is important. The right type of lighting will be something such as an LED or CFL bulb system as these produce the truest and whitest light possible.
More important than the type of bulb used is the arrangement of the lighting as a whole. Pot lights or flush lighting configurations are the most ideal. Some homeowners prefer track lighting as each light can be individually repositioned to highlight a specific area of the closet.
As you have a custom closet built, take your wardrobe, height and specific needs into consideration. If you have the room available, consider building a his and hers closet on opposite sides of the room. This ensures that each person has the proper space, organization materials and features that they require. Men and women have very different needs when it comes to closet space, features and organizational materials.
