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 WayThere 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. Click Play to See Small Walk-in Closet Storage Ideas

White Wire Frame Shelves
The Inspired HiveMany 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. -

Storing Knits and Sweaters
Deborah BroockerdWhen you spend a lot of money on shoes and accessories, you want to protect your investment. That's why these closet organization ideas from Deborah Broockerd at Closet Factory (pictured) are so great. Notice the tall boots on the shelf? Little hangers prevent creases. On the right, scarves are folded neatly before hanging. Storing them this way prevents the knitted yarn from snagging or sagging.

Shelving Units Add Function To a Small Closet
MK Maison via Instagram
Finnish influencer and décor trendsetter MK Maison created the organized closet of her dreams using pieces from Ikea's Kallax collection.
The large shelving on the left holds folded clothing. The box inserts for the lower cubbies create concealed storage. A smaller Kallax unit placed in a corner displays accessories. To the right are two closet rods. The finishing touches are the full-length mirror and floor pouf. Both make the small closet feel more like a luxurious changing room. -

Wood Panel Ceilings
Love Create CelebrateThis dreamy bedroom closet makeover is by Lindi at Love Create Celebrate. On the ceiling are weathered peel and stick wood planks by Stikwood. The floors were also given a lift thanks to new porcelain tiles. The white storage units came from IKEA. Smartly placed LEDs light up the cabinetry when needed. Not shown in the photo is the closet's sliding barn door.

Cedar to Eliminate Odor
Shabby Chic CottageMelissa from Shabby Chic Cottage covered the walls in her bedroom closet with Cedar Safe Closet Liners.
They are real planks of aromatic cedar wood that repel moths, cockroaches, and mildew the natural way. She says they took roughly six hours to install. Two stacked shelving units on the right add plenty of cubby storage. A rod at the back of the closet on the left (not shown) provides lots of hanging space. An inexpensive bath mat is a plush touch that feels super-soft underfoot. -

Custom Closets Suit Your Specific Needs
Simplified BeeA pretty wallpaper pattern called Great Wave by Cole and Son inspired the look of this custom closet in Cristin Bisbee Pries's home. She's the organization expert behind Simplified Bee.
All of the storage solutions in Cristin's walk-in are by EasyClosets. She used the company's free online tool to design her space. The veneer on the custom cabinetry has a driftwood finish that beautifully complements the wallpaper's ocean theme. Several natural accents including the jute rug and seagrass baskets add beachy charm.

Create Custom (Cheap) Storage With Ikea Pax
Garrison Street Design StudioLisa, the blogger who pens Garrison Street Design Studio, created this functional walk-in closet using select pieces from Ikea's Pax closet system. It allowed her to add personalized solutions to her space at a fraction of the cost for custom built-ins, which could easily cost between $5,000 and $10,000. Lisa spent less than $1,000.
She is particularly fond of her new accessory drawers shown on the left. They hold her growing collection of designer sunglasses.

Mirrors Help Small Spaces Seem Bigger
The Happy HousieThis stellar walk-in closet makeover by Krista at The Happy Housie costs much less than it appears thanks to inexpensive removable wallpaper and cherry-picked items from Ikea's Pax closet organizing system. After installing the latter, she was shocked by the amount of stuff that could suddenly fit inside.
So much, in fact, that Krista was able to ditch one of her bedroom dressers entirely. On the walls is a wallpaper pattern by Walls Need Love called The Palms in White. The design costs $24 per roll and it can be used over and over again and is guaranteed to restick to walls up to 99 times. On the floor is an inexpensive runner rug from Joss and Main.

Minimalist Walk-in Closet
StylizimoAfter paring her belongings down to the bare essentials, Nina, the Norwegian blogger behind the interior design site Stylizimo made over her walk-in closet. The result is a space that feels fresh, airy, and thoroughly organized.
On the back wall are three shelves and a single closet rod. A white dresser on the right is for folded clothing and seasonal items. On the right, five stainless steel rails from Ikea's Grundtal kitchen series creates a nook to hang high-heeled shoes.

Store More Using Vertical Space
Diane Elizabeth BlogThis makeover and tips from Diana at Diane Elizabeth Blog will help you make the most of your tiny closet.
After emptying out the teensy walk-in, she decided to make the most of the vertical space. To do so, she added additional storage solutions on top of the existing built-ins. Next, she personalized the area with removable wallpaper and a new flush mount ceiling light. Afterward, she replaced her wood closet rods with chrome ones. It was a smart move that elevated the look and feel of the small closet. To keep the updated space feeling light airy, she swapped out her black velvet hangers for white ones. Next, she added labeled garment organizers to keep hanging stuff organized. Lastly, she put her closet door to work (shown on the right) with a hanging shoe rack. -

Custom Cubby Boxes
Making it in the MountainsPut another notch in your tool belt with this DIY closet system by Kristi at Making it in the Mountains. Her cubby-styled units are both functional and beautiful. She said what makes the system so ingenious is that it is 100 percent customizable by changing the configuration of the wood boxes.
The main ingredient for this project is birch plywood. You will also need several tools including a saw and a power drill.

Small Closet Organizers
Erin Gates DesignErin Gates Design used a few simple tricks to bring order to this small walk-in closet in a classic Colonial home. A shelf over the closet rod creates room to stash folder sweaters and other seasonal items. On the floor, a simple shoe rack triples the amount of space reserved for flat and pumps. The beautiful crystal light fixture overhead is both practical and stylish.

Twice the Storage With Two Walk-Ins
Jona BrisskeJona Brisske is the New York City interior designer who created these two small walk-in closets (pictured) in a Brooklyn townhouse. On the left is the walk-in for the primary bedroom. Every bit of vertical space is optimized with practical storage. Floor-to-ceiling shelves fit dozens of shoes. Four closet rods strategically placed create nooks for hanging clothing.
Because space is tight, the pants were folded over hangers. The top shelf on the right is big enough to fit two suitcases. The closet in the home's second bedroom has a different layout. On the right are built-in shelves that house a sizable sneaker collection. The closet rod on the left has ample room for long dresses. On the left is a second closet rod for shirts and folded pants. Cubbies and drawers on both sides of the walk-in are reserved for accessories and seasonal items. Another nice feature in this space is the sliding closet door with a full-length mirror.
About This Term: Primary Bedroom
Many real estate associations as well as the Real Estate Standards Organization have classified the term "Master Bedroom" as potentially discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.

Design of a bedroom with a dressing room (16 photos), the interior of a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom
Insulated or walk-through, behind glass or textiles, corner or in a niche - a dressing room in the bedroom can be arranged with any number of square meters.
We show on the example of Russian projects and apartments of the usual footage.
Editor's note: under the dressing room - as opposed to the built-in wardrobe - we understand the space where you can enter and change. Wardrobe ideas that you can borrow when designing a bedroom wardrobe are also included (you will find them at the very end of the collection). nine0003
HomeNature
1. Sliding doors in the color of the walls
In the project of designer Olesya Fedorenko, the dressing room occupies a solid area: it stretches across the entire width of the bedroom. In order not to visually split the room, the sliding doors of the dressing room were painted in a rich pink shade - the color of the walls. This technique helped to adjust the proportions of the bedroom, to make the interior visually solid.

. Pay attention to the photo of the bedroom: transom windows are provided under the ceiling, through which natural light enters the dressing room.
Pavel Noritsyn
3. Bedroom interior with dressing room and office
Townhouse owners calculated the desired dimensions of the dressing room and built additional partitions. And the wall between the dressing room and the window was used to organize a small corner for sewing. nine0003
Anastasia Viventsova
4. Glossy texture
The design of a dressing room at the bedroom can be a way to set accents. In this project, designer Anastasia Viventsova provided a sliding door of increased height in the dressing room: the canvas visually raises the level of the ceiling, and due to the glossy finish it breaks the monotony of the beige wall.
Maria Vasilenko
5. Bedroom with a rounded wardrobe
Designer Maria Vasilenko enclosed the dressing room with a rounded wall: this technique softens the geometry of the bedroom. In addition, on such an angle, unlike a straight one, it is impossible to catch or hit. Vertical linear lighting visually raises the ceiling and is used as a night light. nine0003
Flats Design / Evgenia Matveenko
6. A bedroom with a dressing room in a contrasting cube
Designer Evgenia Matveenko suggested that the customers turn the bed headboard towards the dressing room. This arrangement is explained by the elongated shape of the room. The dressing room in the bedroom was not only not hidden, but, on the contrary, it was accentuated with bright blue decorative plaster and backlighting.
Sadkova Xenia
7. Design bedroom, combined with a large dressing room
Designer Ksenia Sadkova placed the dressing room opposite the window: now you can get dressed in the morning in natural light.
Please note: the dressing room is zoned by sliding doors, but attention was also paid to the design of the wide portal - its lining duplicates the shade of the headboard and flooring.
MK-Interio
8. Bedroom with dressing room lined with mirror and parquet
Alexandra Kazakovtseva and Maria Makhonina, MK-Interio, used parquet made of exotic sucupira wood to decorate the dressing room. The covering runs from the bedroom floor to the outer walls of the dressing room and frames a large mirror - it was provided to make it easier for the owners to choose outfits. nine0013
DVEKATI
9. A narrow bedroom with a dressing room
The authors of the project Ekaterina Svanidze and Ekaterina Lyubarskaya divided the narrow elongated room in a two-room Khrushchev into a bedroom and a dressing room. The opening was closed with a textile partition, and the bed was placed along the dressing room wall - this made it possible to allocate space for a home office.
Architectural workshop of Elena Timchenko
10. Textiles and lighting
The author of the project Elena Timchenko singled out a small dressing room at the bedroom with the help of textiles - an original and very budgetary way. The cornice is complemented by soft evening lighting, so that in the evenings the dressing room turns into a night light. nine0003

Let's select a performer according to your criteria
iPozdnyakov Studio
11. Bedroom and dressing room in one room (plus a sports corner)
Designer Ivan Pozdnyakov placed a dressing room and a sports corner in the student's bedroom. They are located in one zone and, if necessary, these utilitarian zones can be easily fenced off with a textile partition.
Oksana Yakunina
12. Dressing room in bedroom — behind a textile partition
Designed by Oksana Yakunina, the dressing room is hidden behind the headboard.
You can get into it by rounding the drapery from two sides.
Loginova Natalia / designer, decorator.
13. Bedroom design with dressing room room in a glass cube
Designer Natalya Loginova designed the dressing room with tinted glass to add glossy textures to a calm and soft interior. The contrast is created by light lace and decorative textiles, so the interior does not look too gloomy. nine0013
Ze|Workroom Studio
14. Glass dressing room in the attic bedroom
A transparent partition is a bold decision, because things are always in sight. Designers Aleksey Shibaev and Alexandra Averkina suggested this technique to the customers in order to preserve maximum natural light. And the owners agreed to maintain perfect order in the dressing room.
Arina Volkova
15. Dressing room in the bedroom — in glass
Designer Arina Volkova offered her customers to fully glaze the dressing room next to the bedroom.
According to the designer, various options were discussed: covering the glass with a reflective film, adding blinds and even curtains inside the dressing room. As a result, the owners decided to go against the pattern: the dressing room for them is one of the most important functional rooms in the apartment.
MK-Interio
16. Two wardrobes in the bedroom
Frosted doors to the left and right of the bed lead to two wardrobes - for the owner and the hostess. Aleksandra Kazakovtseva and Maria Makhonina from MK-Interio deliberately did not raise the partition at the head to the ceiling: there is no window in one of the dressing rooms, and natural light gets there from the bedroom. nine0003
Yulia Khokhlova
17. Invisible dressing room in the room
In Yulia Khokhlova's project, the entrance to the dressing room is hidden behind partitions imitating wall panels. The central part of the wall is decorated in the same way: if you don’t know about the existence of a dressing room, you might not even guess.
Elena Babushkina
18. Interior of a bedroom with a dressing room, which only the owners will find
In this bedroom, the TV is located not on the wall, but on the sliding door to the dressing room. Thus, designer Elena Babushkina organized a secret room in the apartment. nine0003
Oleg Dedkov
19. Dressing room with a mirror corridor
The dressing room in Alisa Pasternak's project is hidden behind a wall decorated with wooden panels. You can get into it along the mirror corridor (in the photo - to the left of the bed).
Le Atelier
20. Bedroom with bathroom and dressing room
The walk-in closet in the design of the architectural bureau Le Atelier: through it the owners get from the bedroom to the bathroom. The dressing room is separated from the common space by a glazed door to the ceiling, which emphasizes the height of the ceiling in the old house.
nine0003
Berphin Interior
21. Walk-in closet behind slatted facades
This bedroom is only 15 sqm, but there is room for a walk-in closet here too. Designers Zina Broyan and Inna Tedjoeva singled it out into a separate block and made it a walk-through (you can get to the bathroom through the dressing room), and the entrance was closed with slatted accordion doors.
Olga Shangina | Photography
22. Walk-in wardrobe between study and bedroom
The owner asked to organize the space in such a way as to maximize the use of the area of the apartment, and the architect Ksenia Rakovskaya proposed a circular layout. From the bedroom, the owner can get into the shower room and into the office - bypassing the dressing room.
Olga Shangina | Photography
23. Dressing room and laundry at the bedroom
The area of this apartment is only 60 sq. m. Considering the small footage, designer Victoria Mirzoyeva included a mini-laundry room in the dressing room next to the bedroom. The rooms are separated by a sliding door, decorated in the color of the wall. nine0003
MAKEdesign
24. Design of a bedroom with a corner wardrobe
To fit the wardrobe into a small bedroom, Diana Karnaukhova and Victoria Karyakina, MAKEdesign, made it a corner wardrobe. The sliding door was installed diagonally: otherwise there would be no room for opening.
Max Kasymov Interior/Design
25. Smart Ceiling Storage System
Designer Max Kasymov separated the dressing room from the bedroom with glass and a curtain, and provided a shallow grilyato ceiling in the wardrobe itself. This technique is most often found in technical rooms, but is also suitable for residential interiors. The surface above the grille is painted black for a "deep" ceiling effect, and behind it are hidden the indoor air conditioning unit and ventilation wiring. nine0003
Design and architecture studio MART Architects
26. Wardrobe room with slatted ceiling
In the project of the MART studio designers, the dressing room became a continuation of the bedroom: a couple lives in the apartment, so it was decided not to put partitions and doors between the two rooms. All shelving in the dressing room is open, and LED strips are hidden behind the slatted panel on the ceiling.
IN-DECO
IN-DECO
27. Dressing room in the bedroom behind the bed
The bedroom in the project of designer Dina Kostochka is quite small, so they did not close the dressing room in an isolated space. The basis for the dressing room is a bookcase: from the side of the bedroom it is decorated with unusual diagonal shelves. A capacious line of cabinets was placed on the reverse side: you can approach them by going around the partition on both sides. In addition, natural light enters the dressing room.
Evgenia Nazarova
Karinsky Arseniy Architectural Studio
28. Design of a bedroom combined with a triangular dressing room
Creating an apartment layout of a complex shape, the architect Arseniy Karinsky singled out a triangular room for a wardrobe - this technique corrected the proportions of other rooms. There are three doors in the dressing room, but the remaining space is used from floor to ceiling: wardrobes with dark facades were made to order for an unusual configuration.
Dina Aleksandrova
29. Dressing room that pretended to be a closet
A small dressing room in the bedroom from the outside looks more like a closet. But behind the sliding facades there is a mini-room (pictured below), in which there is enough space for movement, there is a full-length mirror and lighting.
Dina Aleksandrova
Marina Govorushko
30. Dressing room in the bedroom behind frosted partitions
The design of a bedroom combined with a dressing room looks softer if frosted glass is used for the partitions - as in the project of designer Marina Govorushko. In addition, such partitions are very practical - only the outlines of things are distinguishable behind the facades. nine0003
DVEKATI
31. Bedroom design with built-in wardrobes
Project authors Ekaterina Svanidze and Ekaterina Lyubarskaya divided a small and elongated room into several zones. Thus, a walk-in wardrobe appeared: thanks to the built-in wardrobes in the room, the storage issue was resolved.
Yulia Kirpichova
32. Dressing room in the bedroom — on the balcony
At the request of the hostess, designer Yulia Kirpichova provided a wide bed, and there was almost no space left in the bedroom. Because of this, the storage systems were taken out to the loggia: a wardrobe for dresses was placed on the right, and a tall chest of drawers on the left. nine0003
Berphin Interior
33. Wardrobe as a showcase
Who said that clothes should be hidden? In the interior for the fashionista, designers Zina Broyan and Inna Tedjoeva put two transparent blocks that look more like shop windows. Glazed storage systems help to focus on the hostess's wardrobe, and one of the cabinets separates the bedroom from the bathroom.
Design Studio of Marina Kutuzova "Details"
34. Open wardrobe in a small bedroom
In order not to overload the light and airy interior with wardrobes, designer Marina Kutuzova made an open dressing room in the bedroom. For apartment owners who only spend their holidays here, such a storage system is enough.
Ksenia Bobrikova. Xenia Design Studio
35. Instead of facades - curtains
Designer Ksenia Bobrikova provided open shelves and drawers in the bedroom, which can be easily hidden from prying eyes with textiles. A typical cornice is hidden under a horizontal beam girded with leather straps. nine0003

Wardrobe options
A wardrobe can be compact and occupy a minimum amount of space or be a spacious room for storing all the necessary things. nine0003
For example, a narrow bedroom is considered the most successful option in order to arrange a dressing room. In it, you can simply fence off part of the space and thereby give the atmosphere a harmonious look.
Wardrobe
Basically, this is a large-sized capacious structure equipped with sliding doors. Wardrobe, if necessary, can be equipped with internal lighting for a more convenient search for things.

Built-in
The most versatile way to complement your bedroom interior in an original way. A built-in wardrobe filled with modern baskets, shelves and drawers for clothes, shoes, bedding, hats and other accessories perfectly replaces bulky wardrobes and chests of drawers that make the space heavier.

Behind a curtain or a screen
A wardrobe with a curtain or a screen instead of a door makes the bedroom interior much more comfortable. This option is great for those who like changes in design, because the usual replacement of curtains or screens can add new touches to the setting and make it dynamic.

Walk-through
Organic walk-in closet with the right layout solves many interior problems. This arrangement of space is especially suitable for a small bedroom. For a more ergonomic design, it is advisable to equip the walk-in wardrobe with open shelves, thus freeing up additional storage space. When installing doors, it is better to choose sliding structures that do not interfere with free movement in the room.

Open
Most often, the structure has a metal frame that can be attached to the walls. The open model is considered universal and provides a design for every taste.
This design idea allows you to lighten the decor of the bedroom. The only drawback of an open dressing room in the bedroom is the maintenance of constant order, since all things are in full view. For this, filling in the form of various organizers is suitable, allowing you to conveniently store clothes. nine0003

Layout ideas and zoning
Before choosing a wardrobe location, you need to correctly plan and determine the functional areas in the room. Below are several ergonomic options for placing a dressing area in the bedroom interior.
Corner dressing room in the bedroom
Occupies a minimum amount of usable space and makes efficient use of space in small spaces. Next to the corner dressing room, a bed or a women's dressing table is conveniently placed. The storage system equipped in the corner, compared with the usual straight wardrobe, is more spacious. nine0003

Dressing room behind bed
A dressing room installed at the head of the bed is considered an interesting design solution that does not take up much space. Storage systems are most often placed behind a partition with a passageway on one or both sides. The wardrobe can have a rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, semicircular shape or be located in the corner.

Wardrobe in niche
A wall recess is the ideal place for a dressing area. The niche is filled with built-in wardrobes, shelves and equipped with doors. A small recess can be equipped with wall-mounted storage systems with mesh compartments, and a spacious niche can be supplemented with frame furniture.

In a separate room
A wardrobe in a separate room most often has an ordinary interior door. Thanks to such a room, it is possible to keep order in the bedroom. In order to make a secret entrance, you can install a door leaf with hidden hinges, decorated to match the surrounding interior. The door is masked to match the wall finish and inconspicuous handles are installed or decorated with a mirror. A big advantage will be a dressing room with a window that provides natural light. nine0003

How to arrange a dressing room?
Proper organization of lighting is important in the wardrobe. With sufficient dimensions, small lamps are installed in this area. To create volumetric light, additional lighting or built-in lights are equipped.
Proper storage of clothing and footwear requires good ventilation. nine0003
Dressing room in the bedroom should be decorated with mirrors. The ideal option is floor-length mirrored canvases, which provide a full-length reflection.

To finish the wardrobe, materials are selected in accordance with the style of the bedroom. Walls can be wallpapered, sheathed with plastic, wood panels or laid out with ceramic tiles. On the floor, facing in the form of linoleum, laminate or parquet, which is easy to maintain, will be appropriate. nine0003
You can fill the dressing area with beauty and comfort with a fluffy floor rug, beautiful chests, elegant baskets or designer boxes. Clothes hung by color or a compositional center with a collection of shoes or dresses, highlighted with backlight, look original.

Features of filling
Shelves installed in the wardrobe must have a certain distance between each other. Such structures can be stationary or retractable. Roll-out models are quite convenient and are sometimes equipped with LED strip. nine0003
Circular, retractable or hanging type of hangers are chosen as filling. For corner space, circular products are suitable, and for rods and pantographs - suspended. To store belts, ties, umbrellas and other accessories in an orderly manner, you can use conventional wall hooks.
For little-used shoes, it is better to pick up boxes and place them on the upper mezzanines. Open shelves and special stands are perfect for seasonal shoes and boots.

With sufficient dimensions, the wardrobe can be equipped with a compartment for an ironing board, vacuum cleaner and other household appliances.
A convenient device for small things or clothes, are cardboard boxes. They may vary in quality and size. For example, for more rational storage, rectangular products are used that fill the maximum amount of space.

How to arrange in a small bedroom?
In a small room in a Khrushchev apartment, an empty niche or pantry is suitable for equipping a dressing room. In order for the room to become more functional and acquire the correct square shape, it is better to place the wardrobe area in the corner or separate the place along the wall. A mini-wardrobe for the most necessary things will harmoniously fit into the interior of a small studio. nine0003
To save space, we replace ordinary doors with curtains that visually lighten the room or place transparent glass systems instead of plasterboard partitions. Also, to visually expand the room and make it bright, mirrors will help.
