Good morning! If you’re looking for closet design and organization ideas for your home, today I’m here to help, with beautiful walk-in closet ideas, dressing rooms, custom closets, and wardrobe ideas, along with decor and storage ideas and tips for bringing more beauty, function, and organization to your master closet or dressing room.
For a long time, I didn’t give our bedroom closet design a second thought. But at some point, I realized that as one of the first spaces I see each day, our master closet probably deserves as much attention as any other room in our home.
To make your walk-in closet look amazing, start with a color scheme or design style you love (letting your favorite clothing inspire you), then add in lighting, accents, and storage solutions that bring your walk-in closet or dressing room to life. The possibilities for creativity are endless!

Home and closet trends for 2024
In 2024 interior design, we’re seeing an interesting mix of new and returning decor trends.
Some popular decor trends for the home in 2024 include the use of neutral color palettes, curved and rounded furniture styles, a touch of quiet luxury, organic modern spaces, modern coastal and California casual influences, and more.
Also, in 2024 we’re seeing a return of warm wood finishes throughout the home — not just in furniture, but in wood flooring and cabinetry, as well.
Closet Design and Decor Ideas for 2024
If you’re looking for ideas for decorating your closet, as you browse through the inspiration photos below, make a mental note of what you love about each space.
Notice whether you’re drawn to the cabinetry or the layout, lighting, rug, color scheme, flooring, decor, or the creative storage solutions. Or perhaps, like me, you’re drawn to a little bit of everything!
Creating a beautiful and functional walk-in closet that reflects your style and personality isn’t hard to do.
As you’ll see in the beautiful spaces below, it simply involves working with the space you have, paying attention to a few basics, and adding your own unique touch.
1. Keep it bright
First, since the master closet is often a windowless room, try to keep it bright, well-lit and clutter-free so you aren’t tripping over things — or choosing mis-matched shoes!
If you don’t have sufficient overhead lighting, you can even add a small table lamp, which brings beautiful ambiance to a closet space.
See my lighting post for more lighting ideas and sources.
2. Add a place to keep purses, hats and scarves
Adding a few hooks to hang purses, scarves, and hats is an easy way to bring both functionality and style to your master closet.
In our master closet, a couple of robe hooks allow me to hang several purses in an otherwise unused space.
Glass-fronted closet cabinetry is another wonderful way to display and store purses, handbags, shoes, and more.
3. Keep it organized
Walk-in closets can get completely lost in piles of clothes, shoes, purses, and accessories, so finding creative storage solutions for your items is important.
The gorgeous closet below features built-in cabinetry for corralling hats, bags, shoes. Plus, there’s additional storage space in the closet island.
To keep clutter to a minimum, try to think of everything you want to keep in your closet — then decide what kind of storage options you’ll need. This might include shelving, drawers, hanging rods, hooks, and/or built-in closet cabinetry.
A dresser can be a beautiful and practical addition to your closet, providing extra storage space as well as a surface to display small items and decorative accents.
A dressing table or desk is another way to incorporate extra storage and functionality in a large or small closet.

A few decorative lidded boxes placed on closet shelves help fill the space and provide a place to stash small items. The integrated lighting in this beautiful closet is a wonderful addition, too!
4. Provide a spot to sit
Another thing I love to include in the closet is some type of seating so you can sit while you put on your shoes (or think about what to wear!).

Ottomans or upholstered cubes provide the perfect seating solution in a closet or dressing room.
If you have enough space in your closet, a built-in bench seat is another fantastic option.

5. Add warmth with a rug
A rug or carpeting can soften your closet space, add color and texture, and pick up any dirt that’s tracked in.
Annie Selke makes a great range of easy-care rugs, perfect for the closet.
Runner rugs are also a nice option if you have a narrow or small master closet, like ours.
See my Favorite Area Rugs post, as well as my post on Where to Find the Best Vintage Runners for more ideas.
6. Don’t forget a mirror
Mirrors are a wonderful addition to the closet.

Not only do mirrors brighten and lighten a walk-in closet they make it easy to take a last-minute look at yourself before you head out for the day.
7. Add in some personality
When planning your closet decor, think about using colors and pieces that reflect your personality and sense of style.
Find decorative accents, photos, and trays that speak to you and express the look and feeling you want your closet and home to convey.
As a bonus, a pretty tray or beautiful boxes are also wonderful for holding jewelry, keys, wallets, and other small items you need to keep track of.
8. Go vertical
If you have a small closet and need additional storage space, try to use all the vertical space you can, running your cabinetry and/or shelving all the way to the ceiling, if possible
Running cabinets to the ceiling also makes your closet feel more spacious and grand.
Where to Shop for Closet Cabinetry, Storage Solutions, Rugs, Hampers, Lighting, and Decor
