Seamless closets and wardrobes are a perfect solution for a minimalist appeal and a clutter-free home. For most homeowners, closets are an afterthought. When buying or designing a new home, closets and cabinetry are typically not given much consideration. Their size and appearance are overlooked, and often they are found hidden in corners and awkward spaces.
Most people don’t realize that these hidden gems happen to be the ultimate partner to a well organized, clutter-free, and functional home.
From shoes and coats to random everyday items and sports equipment, closets help us declutter, keep things organized and out of sight. They are also the perfect location to store home maintenance tools and cleaning equipment.
How to Optimize Space within a Closet
Since closets make every room look and function better, optimizing the space within becomes an important task that requires careful planning. It’s always best to start by defining the purpose of the closet you are creating or finishing. How will you use the space?
This is where you decide if you need shelves, racks, polls, or open space to store large items. It’s always best to sketch out your vision, either using a professional tool or by hand, using the correct dimensions, so you know what you are getting.
Different Material and Finishes
From simple melamine boards to trendy laminated surfaces that come in many colors and textures, you can create a unique piece. If budget is not an issue, you can panel the entire interior using the same shelving material. The same paneling or different color paneling can be used to dress the closet’s exterior, such as the doors, and even cladding the entire wall for a concealed appeal.
oday’s modern wall paneling and custom closet solutions allow for trendy seamless finishes that transform a forgotten space into an attractive focal point. For a minimalist look, designer panels are used to build the closet doors and clad the walls. Depending on the paneling material’s texture and design, this seamless look adds texture and dimension to the wall while disguising the closets all together.
Add Lighting
Lighting is an integral part of any closet design. Depending on the size of your closet, make sure you have sufficient lighting. You can use recessed ceiling lighting or add tape lighting under each shelf for a trendier look.
Closets are the reason why a home looks terrific. They are an essential part of a house that should be given much thought and consideration as any other part of the house.
