Having a small walk-in closet in your bedroom can force you to streamline your belongings so you can make easier choices about what to keep and what to toss.

What is a Walk-In Closet?

A walk-in closet is large enough to allow one or more people to open the door and walk into the space to access clothing. (A reach-in closet only lets you open the door to reach in to access clothing. ) Oftentimes both sides of the closet and the far end are filled with rods and storage for clothing and there's a small "walkway" measuring at least a few feet wide that lets you walk into the space.

Maximizing your closet space is the key to organizing a walk-in closet. From racks to rods, and drawers to bins, the following ideas will help you optimize every square inch of your closet with purposeful storage solutions.

  Storage Organized by Type

  View Along the Way

  There are no rules that say small walk-in closets cannot be stylish. Case in point, this glamorous closet by Kelly, the do-it-yourselfer behind the blog View Along the Way. Her goal was to create a seriously luxurious closet stuffed with practical storage solutions—and she nailed it.  DIY built-in shelves made optimizing her closet's skimpy square footage possible.

  The right side of her closet features two separate nooks for jewelry and handbags. There are also three drawers for additional accessories. On the left side of her walk-in, cabinet, cubbies, and shelves carve out room for sweaters and shoes. A gorgeous crystal pendant light overhead brings a little bling while pretty peony wallpaper layers on the glam.

  White Wire Frame Shelves

  The Inspired Hive

  Many people do not have the budget for custom closet storage—not to mention gorgeous wallpaper. That is why this small walk-in closet transformation by Nicole from The Inspired Hive is such an accomplishment. 

  Before adding practical storage, she faked the look of expensive wallpaper using a stencil and paint. Her project cost less than $30. Next, she installed affordable wire shelving by Closet Maid. A shelf that measures 72-inches wide and 12-inches deep is less than $10. The best part is that you can even cut it into shorter pieces. Simple and stylish, white cardboard boxes from Ikea keep seasonal items concealed from view. A small dresser and an end table with drawers add more room to hold stuff. The full-sized mirror on the left is a must-have feature for a bedroom walk-in closet. A Livex Brighton semi-flush mount light fixture brightens the space. The finishing touch is a machine-washable rug.

Choosing furniture for the hallway

When creating the interior of your home, each owner will definitely think about how to properly organize the space in the hallway. After all, it is not in vain that they say that the theater begins with a hanger. nine0003

Correctly organized space

The first impression of an apartment or house is created by the design of the corridor.

Poor lighting, lack of such necessary shelves, hangers, closet, causes irritation and disappointment not only among the guests, but also among the hosts themselves.

Using lighting in the closet

It is important to carefully consider the design of the hallway and the closet.

For a small corridor

In many apartments, the corridors are small. Installing a large closet in such an area is unrealistic.

We take into account the dimensions of the room where the cabinet will be placed

The design of cabinets largely depends on the dimensions of the room, which should be taken into account when choosing a piece of furniture.

White color will visually expand any space

If the dimensions are large, you can purchase one or more and place them in a convenient location.

Lots of space - large wardrobe

The best option in this case is to purchase a narrow model equipped with a mirror that will visually enlarge the space.

Sometimes designs can be completely open.

Also available with blind closed doors. They have shelves and hangers for storing outerwear and shoes.

Internal filling of the wardrobe

For comfortable placement, you must take into account every useful centimeter of available space and listen to the opinion of designers:

It is not recommended to buy furniture made in dark shades. The best option is the color of light oak, walnut, pine, beech.

It is not recommended to buy furniture in dark shades

Decorate facades with mirror surfaces that visually expand the space.

In addition, this decision causes certain convenience for the owners - before leaving the house, there is always the opportunity to look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate your image.

For a small room, you should not choose bulky pieces of furniture, in the form of cabinets, wardrobes. They must be compact to allow the products to fit into the space.

Closed wardrobe

In small hallways, it is better to use the minimalist technique. You should not load the space with a large number of small items.

When space allows built-in wardrobes

A wardrobe with translucent fronts is a good solution for a small space. Cabinet design is a combination of different criteria. Let's consider them in more detail. nine0003

Sliding wardrobe

A wardrobe is a necessary piece of furniture. The usual model is not very convenient, since the doors in it are hinged. They block the space, blocking the passage.

Classic

Designers and furniture designers have created a unique design - sliding wardrobes, which make it possible to rationally place items of shoes, clothes, accessories in them.

Advantages

The wardrobe fits even in a narrow corridor.

The functionality of cabinets is limitless

Functionality. nine0050 Even a small wardrobe has enough space inside to accommodate the necessary things due to the presence of shelves, nets, hangers. In a large hallway wardrobe can be used as an element of room zoning.

Most often, models are equipped with the following elements: One of them stores long outerwear: coats, raincoats, fur coats, sheepskin coats. In the other section - short wardrobe items: jackets, parkas, sweatshirts. The bars are retractable, which creates certain conveniences. nine0003

Approximate layout of the place inside the cabinet

Lower shoe cabinets

They can be made of chipboard or metal - mesh. The second option is more acceptable. Shoes are clearly visible, easy to install, dirt and dust do not accumulate on the shelves of this type.

The number of cabinets and shelves depends on square meters

The rest of the space is filled with shelves, drawers, metal baskets. They are designed to store hats, gloves, umbrellas, bags.

Wardrobe can contain not only things, but also everything you need to hide

If the wardrobe is large, you can allocate special compartments for a vacuum cleaner and an ironing board in it. These are things that are usually difficult to find a place in an apartment.

The main thing is that the furniture looks harmonious throughout the interior

When choosing, color matters. It depends on him whether the main piece of furniture will be an addition to the existing interior or will take on the main focus.

In the life of every person, color is of great importance. nine0003

  15 practical storage ideas without bulky wardrobes

  There are many more convenient and functional storage systems than large wardrobes and wardrobes. Such systems offer a practical space for clothes and other useful things, and they also look more original and beautiful than the usual closet, emphasizing the decorative qualities of the room.

  Today we're going to talk about 15 ways to keep things in order that will free up the room and even decorate it. Choose what suits your taste. nine0003

  1. Hanging shelves

  Wall shelves help keep essentials in view without taking up much space. And in small rooms, they can be hung in length to save space even more. The main advantage of such shelves is that they are open, and this visually makes the room freer.

  Photo: elikarealestate.com

  2. Shelving units

  A more organized wall shelving option is a solid shelving unit or shelving composition. They can also be placed not along the wall, but across - this will help in zoning a large room and allocate a lot of storage space. Open shelving has a positive effect on the visual expansion of space. nine0003

  Photo: happylife.id

  3. Small pedestals

  Several compact pedestals placed throughout the area will be a more practical option than a single cabinet up to the ceiling. In addition, their surface can be used functionally: put a lamp on one bedside table, and a TV on another. For small rooms, it is better to choose long narrow cabinets to use the width of the walls and not compress the room.

  4. Suspension rods

  Do not forget about the ceiling. You can hang long rods for hangers with clothes on it. Moreover, anything can serve as such a barbell: a plastic or steel pipe or even a tree branch, as in the photo below. Any handmade arrangement of storage systems is always welcome - this will help diversify the interior and make it more individual.

  5. Racks on wheels

  Universal wardrobe solution with a bar and several rows of shelves. This rack will help keep all the necessary wardrobe at hand. And it takes up much less space than a bulky closet with doors. And the stand is mobile thanks to the wheels - you can always move it to a more convenient place. nine0003

  6. Bed with drawers

  An ideal option for a bedroom is to get a bed with internal compartments for clothes, linens and other things. This eliminates the need to organize additional storage, and also makes the bed as functional as possible.

  7. Poufs with internal compartments

  Not enough space in your nightstand or under your bed? Place a pouffe or banquette next to it with a box hidden under the seat. If the room is small, it is better to replace everything with such ottomans, even the most beautiful and original chairs, in order to increase the functionality of the furniture.

  Photo: mebelanapa.com

  8. Boxes, boxes, baskets

  Open racks and shelves are not universal - some things still need to be kept hidden from view. This will help cardboard or plastic boxes, wicker baskets, wooden boxes and other similar containers. They can be mounted on open shelves: such a solution will be much more economical than using a cabinet. Drawers can be selected in different shades to add color and bright accents to the room. nine0003

  Photo: blogdecorandoonline.com

  9. Hollow Podium

  Raise the floor in part of the room and you have a practical podium with lots of storage space underneath. And along with this, if we are talking about a studio, you will get a zoning of the sleeping area from the rest of the room - with a workplace or a kitchen. If the podium is quite large, no cabinets or even shelves will be needed. However, such a storage system should be designed at the design development stages of the project. nine0003

  10. Hanging Organizers

  Fabric organizers that can be hung on a bar or on a door are great for storing shoes and small items of clothing. You can place them both in the hallway and in living rooms, the main thing is to choose the right size and color scheme.

  Photo: homsu.ru

  11. Sliding rack

  Side tables with drawers can be accompanied by a vertical sliding rack. It is very convenient to use it for storing books, but hangers with clothes can also be placed there. The main advantage of a pull-out rack is its narrow design, which will take up minimal space in the room. nine0003

  12. Lean ladder

  A ladder with wide steps is a more decorative version of a regular shelving unit. It has a narrower and more compact design, so it is suitable for very small spaces, such as a bathroom or hallway.

  13. Niches in the wall

  Instead of a built-in wardrobe, you can simply organize a deep niche in the wall with rods and hangers and place clothes there.
