As primary bedroom suites have gotten larger, so have the closets. Today’s primary closets are about spacious organization and no more fighting over clothing space.
“Closets have evolved from simply being a basic, and often problematic, storage area to becoming customized spaces to meet a homeowner’s individual needs and style,” explained Kathryn Norton, co-owner of The Tailored Closet of Knoxville. “Most importantly, no matter the size, it’s about maximizing storage space to keep clothes ordered, crumple-free and everything easy to see.”
What are today’s trends? The design professionals at The Tailored Closet of Knoxville have noticed:
Bigger is Better
While new home construction includes a larger primary bedrooms, during the pandemic many homeowners have chosen to renovate their bedroom suite to create a much larger closet area. Often, two closets are included in the master suite to accommodate separate his and her clothing spaces.
Neutral Tones
In a closet, neutrals are by far the most popular color tone. Closet systems most popular colors are neutrals like white, wood-grain grays or white and other soft, light finishes. The ideal closet allows the homeowner to make a statement with organization, not color.
Add Flair with Hardware
Add a statement to your closet with personalized hardware. Knobs, handles, and clothing rods are available in an array of styles and finishes such as gold, nickel, brushed nickel, oiled brass, and more. When you add hardware with an extra pop, you give a closet a lot of personal personality.
Everyone Loves an Island
If there is enough space, islands are definitely the most requested closet feature. People love having this boutique-inspired element for extra storage and the horizontal surface to place everyday items like a purse on it, or use it for folding clothing and packing. A walk-in closet needs to measure a minimum of 10’ x 10’ to accommodate an island or peninsula.
Decorative Drawer and Door Fronts
The most popular drawer front is currently a shaker-style. However, using a flat front, which is often less expensive, gives the closet a more modern look. Another popular option is to substitute glass door fronts in the place of solid wood. Each style can give the closet a completely different feel.
Jewelry Drawers
No more mismatched earrings and hard-to-find jewelry. Velvet-lined jewelry drawers offer scratch-resistant storage for jewelry and other items. An optional lock feature provides extra security.
