Create Your Own Celebrity Closet

How to Create Your Own Celebrity Closet

Celebrity closets are often more impressive than the stylish clothes they wear. So prepare yourself:  The special features in these celebrities’ closets will definitely leave you with closet envy.

  • Mariah Carey has a climate-controlled closet with a separate room for more than 1,000 pairs of shoes.
  • Victoria Beckham’s closet includes a clothing camera that gives a 360-degree view of each outfit before exiting the closet.
  • Since comedian and actor Ray Romano travels a lot, he has a closet designed just for his luggage and travel accessories.  
  • Actress Jessica Alba has a hat wall with specialty hooks for her signature chapeaus.
  • Sir Elton John has custom shelves with lighting to display his iconic sunglass collection.

While these closets cost more money than most of us want to spend for a custom closet, you can easily develop your own celebrity-inspired space.  Displaying your clothes and accessories is easy and elegant with these tips:

Antique White Custom Closet

Small chandeliers add glamour to any closet.

Upgrade the Lighting

Add light and glamour to any space by including a small chandelier or wall sconces.   Also, small LED lights in the right place are good accent lights.  They look great in glass cabinets or shoe shelving. You can also get hanging rods that have built-in LED lighting. 

Create a Dressing/Sitting Area

If your closet has enough space it is an excellent idea to include a dressing area so you can get ready in your closet instead of running back and forth to another area of the bedroom. A seating area is also helpful when you want to wear/try on shoes.

Select Decorative Hardware

Crystal Drawer Pulls

From elegant crystal knobs to today’s trend of matte gold handles, pulls are jewelry for the drawer!

Instead of plain drawer knobs opt for bolder hardware or beautiful glass knobs.  Think of hardware as jewelry for the drawer!  

Create a Place for Everything

Special jewelry drawers, hampers, fashionable hooks, slide-out valet bars and an area designed just for scarves are a few options to help organize everything.

Make Everything Visible

Stacking clothes in storage bins may seem like a good idea, but if you can’t see your clothes when you walk in the closet you’ll forget they exist.  It’s the old adage, out of sight out of mind.  And open layout will also help keep things organized.

Even if you don’t have a gigantic space and designer clothes, you can still have an impressive, celebrity-style closet.
