Beautifully Organized Closets and Dressing Rooms

Configure space in a way that is chic as well as storage savvy

Cool DIY for Teen Room Decor

Light and Bright

This designer is known for her white and ivory interiors, and the dressing room (in her own home) is no exception. White-painted cabinets with glass-front doors, soft neutral carpet, ample natural light, and open racks make getting dressed a pleasure. And the clothes themselves add pops of color to the room. A practical touch: An antique stool offers a gracious place to rest.
Design: Louise Brooks

French-Inspired

In this master bath, a wall of custom-designed closets and drawers eliminates the need for a separate dressing room. Space for the homeowners’ hanging clothes balances with sleek drawers holding folded ones. Design details add a sense of calm. The soft blue finish is accented with cream-color details that complement the Turkish marble floor and countertops. For added elegance, the X-shape details in the handcrafted cabinetry reflect a French motif.
Design: Ken Kelly

Open Spaces

If there is any room that needs to be well organized, it’s the kitchen. But here, it was a kitchen’s arched cabinets—the style, not the way contents were arranged—that influenced the closet design. Open storage makes it easy to find what you need. A neutral palette and the repetition of arched openings add a soothing sense of order. A pretty chandelier softens the room’s masculine energy. The doorway is framed with stately shutters found in France. A practical touch: A stepladder makes it easy to reach accessories found on high shelves.
Design: Kay Douglass

Designed for Drama

Once this small room had the worst view in the apartment; then it was transformed into a glamorous dressing room. Now an oversize mirror shows how beautiful life can be when a customized closet system accommodates rods for hanging clothes, a room-spanning shelf for accessories, and cabinets with glass-front doors so you can keep tabs on what’s stored inside. The bench is important, too: not just because it’s beautiful, but because it’s practical if you need a spot to sit when packing for a trip or slipping on a pair of Jimmy Choos.
Design: Julia Wong and Angelina Briggs

Elegant Attitude

The homeowner wanted a closet large enough to hold her entire wardrobe, including shoes and accessories. In response, the designers created a well-organized French-inspired space that concealed her entire wardrobe behind closed doors—including a special closet just for shoes. A large center island and glass-front shelves and drawers keep handbags and accessories organized.
Design: Charles Faudree and April Faudree Moore

At a Glance

Because the homeowner loves detail, the designers covered every inch of her dressing suite with luxurious fabrics and finishes. As a result, accessories stored in this space enjoy the ultimate indulgence: drawers are lined with silk and trimmed with gimp braid. In fact, it’s the same silk the designers used for the room’s window treatments.

French Accents

You don't have to settle for the light that came with your closet. Designer Annie Brahler swapped hers out for a pink chandelier. Say "bye bye" to that haunting glow of fluorescent lighting forever.

Bright Skylight

The skylight in interior designer Kelly Wearstler's closet provides natural light, making it easier (and more enjoyable!) to pick out an outfit in the morning

Shoe Storage

Nate Berkus takes his shoe collection seriously, which is why he created a dedicated space for it, which he told Elle Decor he thinks represents the height of luxury (we agree!).

Boutique Touches

When it comes to boutique design, less is certainly more as seen in Lisa Adams' closet. That way, you can actually see what you own.

Delectable Details

Mix lavender panels, fuchsia silk backing, and lit-from-above glass shelves and you’ve got a dressing room that dares to be different. But despite its artistic temperament, this space is serious about providing an organized environment for storing fashion. Clothes rods are installed at just the right heights for dresses and separates. Cubbies keep handbags in dust-free order. Glass shelves make shoes a fashion focal point. And drawers keep more intimate fashions, jewelry, and other accessories organized in style. A polka-dot bench offers a whimsical landing spot.
Design: Jamie Drake

Black and White

Even the most cramped closets can get a boost from wallpaper (or paint). Designer Erinn Valencich chose to focus on just one wall so as not to overwhelm the rest of the space.

Heel Display

Back-lit shelves show off actress Tiffani Thiessen's amazing shoe collection and, as if that weren't enough, the three highest rows of shoes are behind glass, to protect them from dust.

Reflecting on Fashion

Stacks of drawers and seemingly acres of mirror-door cabinets create a dressing room that’s primed for grooming. With its pleated skirt, a pink linen-upholstered bench offers a cushy, feminine spot for lounging, trying on shoes, or perhaps even grabbing towels from upper cabinets. The floor features polished marble tiles in a basket-weave pattern.

Design: Berkley Vallone

Dressing Space

Channel the glamorous feel of a changing room by bringing in a tufted bench or ottoman to your bedroom like designer James Radin did to create a lovely dressing space.
