Top Closet Design Trends to Keep You Organized & Inspired

Have you ever thought about how you feel when you step inside your closet? If you’re like most people, feelings of stress and frustration take over because you know the space could be better utilized if you had more time to tackle a walk-in closet design project. But what if we told you that the way you feel has just as much to do with the closet interior design of the space as it does with how the space functions? When your most personal space lacks any personalization, it can lead to feelings of frustration and a desire to get in and out as quickly as possible.

Now imagine stepping into your closet and just feeling your shoulders relax down and your mind clear a bit because the feelings you were going for in the design process – calm, relaxed, in control – are the feelings that the space creates. That’s the power and benefit of bringing interior closet design trends into the forgotten and frustrating space called your closet.

Closet Design Ideas

While an inefficient closet design impacts how you feel, a lack of personalized interior design can have just as strong of an impact. Why? Because the interior design elements of any room shape the experience you have while spending time there. The truth is that closet interior design is an afterthought for most builders because they don’t have experience in how to design a closet. New construction closets are often finished with wire shelving or basic white shelves and a bar or two to hang all your clothes. There is nothing personal about the builder package that ends up in most homes, leaving homeowners to struggle with those closets for years to come without really understanding why they don’t work. The great news is personalized closet design plans are not only possible but something you can easily incorporate into every closet throughout the home. Check out our top closet design trends to keep you organized and inspired!

Warm Woods

Choosing on-trend walk in closet colors might be our favorite part of this process. We love the current color palettes that are bringing warm woods like New Natural into our clients’ homes. An interior design trend that offers a modern twist with the comfortable style from years gone by, you’ll love choosing earth tones like those found in our available finishes.

Soft Colors

You can never go wrong with tried-and-true neutrals in an expanded palette that includes a subtle touch of green. And when the finish includes natural texture like you see here in Timber Grey, you get the added benefit of a beautiful material that can stand all on its own.

Hardware

Personality plus, choosing hardware is a game-changer in making your closet reflect who you are and the look you love. High on our list for interior design closet trends, eye-catching hardware is the easiest way to personalize your space. In love with the hardware and lighting in your new master bath? Carry that look (and that feel!) into your closet. Use a timeless metal such as gold or sleek silver for a classic sophisticated look or choose oil-rubbed bronze for a farmhouse finish you’ll be sure to love.

Lighting

Another often overlooked aspect of the closet design is lighting, and just like the rest of your home, personalizing where and how much light you need in your closet will change how you feel when you’re getting ready. From task lighting designed to help you see into dark corners to a center pendant light that matches your bedroom décor, our interior design teams work with you to make sure your space is functionally and beautifully lit.

Must-have Accessories

When it comes to organizational challenges, accessories like shoes and jewelry can be some of the hardest to solve. That is until you work with Inspired Closets. Passionate about shoes? An Inspired Closets Shoe Shrine® offers a dedicated space to organize every pair in any size including your favorite tall boots & high heels. Love wearing jewelry? Our space-saving jewelry pullouts keep your necklaces untangled and easy to see. Tired of tripping over dirty laundry? A convenient hamper keeps it up off the floor and out of the way.

Interior design trends do not have to stop at the closet door. Interior design is about shaping the experience you have in a space. That experience is both functional (a place for everything) and aesthetic and personal (the colors you love, the feeling you’re trying to create). Our product line is wonderfully made to address both the functional and aesthetic parts of interior design. Trend right colors, so many well-organized features, lots of hardware options, and lighting too. Each of these closet design options comes together in nearly limitless ways, creating a space that is truly reflective of you, the one who uses it every day.

How To Style a Great Room without Sacrificing Function

What’s it like spending time in your great room? Are you able to sit down, decompress, and easily watch your favorite show? Or, do you spend 15 minutes searching for the remote, navigating console cords and digging through piles of haphazardly tossed blankets, only to feel stressed and annoyed by the time you actually find it? Maybe you’re even struggling with the opposite scenario and you have such a large space that you’re unsure of which of the many great room decorating ideas circulating on the internet will actually make your space feel functional and homey.

How to Store Your Summer Gardening Tools

Yard work–gardening in particular–is all about good intentions. The season starts and you plant with the goal of weeding, growing, watering, picking, eating, and even canning. But the reality is, life gets busy. Flowers don’t get watered and gardens don’t get weeded as often as they should, and by mid-August, the yard starts to show signs of 100-degree weather and consecutive days of full sun. When November rolls around, everyone is mentally done with gardening and looking forward to the fast-approaching holidays. But, if you could press pause for a moment and talk to your bright-eyed, well-intentioned self who will show up next spring, you’d advise her to take the time now to consider how to store garden tools so she’s set up for future success.

What to Expect During a Custom Closet Consultation

Are you still digging through that disorganized closet, searching for your missing left shoe, only to find yourself running late and really, really stressed? Pause, take a breath, and know that you’re not alone. Many homeowners continue to struggle with dysfunctional storage and organization that genuinely makes their lives harder because the thought of taking on a home project to improve the situation feels completely overwhelming. Plus, so many people don’t know exactly how the renovation process will go, let alone what to expect during a custom closet consultation in the very beginning.

How to Effectively Leverage Craft Closet Storage

Are you a crafter? Do you have kids in the house who regularly tackle school projects or make gifts? Then you know the craft supply storage struggle well. Between poster board, construction paper, and markers for impending book reports, paints, stamps, and glitter for Grandma and Grandpa’s homemade holiday cards, and yarn, needles, and scissors for your friend’s birthday gift (are you out of breath yet?!), the space and storage systems needed to keep everything organized can get overwhelming. The other problem is, most homes don’t have dedicated craft closet storage to make that needed organization magic happen.
