20 Incredible Small Walk-in Closet Ideas & Makeovers

1 Blog Posts Featured | Organizing | Roundup | Storage and Organization | Uncategorized

A walk-in closet can be quite a luxury.

Who doesn’t drool over those beautiful closets you see with miles of shelving and hanging space and even an island in the middle full of storage drawers?!

But just because you have a closet that you can “walk” into, doesn’t mean that you have a huge closet.

In fact, some “walk-in” closets can be quite small. One sided. Or even more of a step-in then really a “walk” in.

And if you have a smaller walk-in closet, it can be even more complicated to organize then a large  wall closet.

Our closet is an okay size, but not huge by any means. And it has seemed, for the past five years, like a pretty big waste of space. It hasn’t been well used; and it ends up as a dumping ground.

If you’ve been following along with my recent posts about the One Room Challenge then you know that one of my big projects right now is to update our master bedroom and upgrade our walk-in closet.

So I took to the internet to find some inspiration for our closet update, and today I’m sharing these 20 incredible small walk-in closet ideas and makeovers with you as well as what it is I love about each of them.

I hope you find some inspiration, as well!

Do’s and Don’ts Small Walk in Closet Design – Innovate Home Org – Columbus Ohio

So, your small walk-in closet is a DISASTER! Join the crowd.

As an owner and designer of custom closets in Columbus Ohio I’ve seen  thousands of closets and I get the same comment from people BEFORE I step into their closet. They’ll say ……

“Mike, sorry about this closet. It’s such a mess.”

I tell them there’s no need to apologize. Most closets are D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival) before you even put one stitch of clothing inside them. They’ve been slapped in by the builder as an afterthought. They’re not designed to be efficient or effective. They’re DESIGNED to check off the ‘this home has a closet box.’

And when you want a new design which doesn’t repeat the mistakes of your closet’s past, you may be clueless where to begin.

I get this, and I’m going to help.

You see below I’ve outlined 21 do’s and don’ts which will not only help you get your arms around a closet design which works (and adds storage), but also one which adds style.

So, let’s dig into the ‘do’s and don’ts so you can start actually enjoying, not apologizing for your closet anymore.

#1– DO put your top shelf at the right height

Here’s a closet mistake which is as common as white on rice. This mistake is your top shelf is set too low, which doesn’t allow room for double hanging (that’s an industry term for one set of hanging clothes on top another). For most 8’ high small walk in closets your top shelf should be 7’ from the floor (or 84” high). When you move up the top shelf to 84” you’ll have room for 2 sets of hanging clothes below. This INSTANTLY doubles your desperately needed hanging space.

#2– DON’T use corner shelves  

People think corner shelves look so nice. And I’ll grant you they do look nice. However, here’s 3 reasons you need to do without corner shelves…especially in a small walk-in closet.  

 

 

Bottom line – I’d stay away from corner shelves in small walk-in closets.

#3– DO understand the advantages and disadvantages of wall hung vs. floor-based closet systems.  

Wall hung closets (ones which are mounted onto the wall) are nice because they use less material and are budget friendly. Their primary drawback is they can’t be as deep as floor-based closets. Therefore, they hold less.  

Floor based systems, in contrast, give the finished furniture look. You can have multiple depths. However, these benefits come with a higher cost than wall hung.  

And while there’s no ‘correct or incorrect’ decision on which is best it’s always smart to know the advantages of each. Learn more by reading How to Choose between a Wall Hung and Floor Mounted Closet Organizer.

#4– DON’T use 12” deep shelves and repeat past closet mistakes

Most wood and wire closet shelves are 12” deep. And while these shelves work OK if you have small feet and you’re storing shoes on them, most people aren’t using their shelves for small shoes. They’re using shelves for bulky jeans, sweatshirts and sweatpants. These bulky clothes hang over the edge of 12” shelving. They make your closet look messy.

Insist (space permitting) on 14” deep shelves. They’re the industry standard for professional organizers. And with this advice I’ll give you one warning and let you in on one ‘dirty little industry secret’ few people will tell you about. You see companies try to ‘sneak in’ 12” because it saves them money. Watch out for this tactic. Sure, it saves them money, but doesn’t give you a better functioning closet.  

#5– DO add drawers for more style AND space

Drawers not only make a closet look elegant, but what many don’t realize you’ll also be able to store 2 to 2.5 times more things folded in a drawer than hanging on a rod.

You can add depth to your storage with drawers which can be 16”, 19” and 23” deep. Also, drawers hide the messiness which IS your partner or spouse.

 #6– DON’T buy a closet system without seeing a 3D design

I don’t know about you, but most people can’t visualize a closet (or anything else for that matter) in 2D. If penciled drawings of closet sections (like seen below) mean nothing to you raise your hand.

When you see a 3D closet design, you’ll see how the space will live for you.

#7– DO insist on adjustability

The #1 problem most people are ‘stuck with’ in their current closet are fixed hanging rods in the wrong location. As we talked about earlier, they’re set too low for double hang sections and too low for an efficient amount of space above the top shelf. This lack of adjustability results in ‘walk-in dead’ spaces. This equals a screwed-up closet. This is blunt, but true.

The key to solving this problem (irrespective of whether you use a wood, laminate, or wire shelving system) is adjustability. Make sure your rods and shelves can be moved up and down. This gives flexibility to change your closet layout and use every inch of space.

#8– DON’T let Pinterest make you delusional about what’s possible in your small walk-in closet

I have to admit I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE looking at glam closets on Pinterest. And as a matter of fact this social media site inspired me to write 21 Things to ‘Glam Up’ Your Closet Recommended by Award Winning Closet Designers.

And while I’m a fan of doing everything possible to not only make a closet functional but also fun (with as many bells and whistles as you can afford), it’s critical to not delude yourself thinking your small walk-in closet is going to stack up (yes, that bad closet pun was intended) and become something Kim Kardashian is drooling over.

No, the first key to designing a small walk-in closet is to figure out how to efficiently fit clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Figure out function first. Second, address you desire for fashion. And if you’re unsure how to go about this, get help from a professional closet designer. Smart designers have been down the road before. They’ll marry ‘the big 3 together – fashion, function and finance. If you’re looking for some of these tricks read #9 below.  

#9– Do use tricks to add ‘bling’ if your closet budget isn’t big

If we’re being real most of us have ‘Dom Perignon tastes but our budgets are more ‘Budweiser-esque.’ We want champagne style. However, we need to cling to our beer budget.

So, while you may want the fancy closet with the wood Shaker style drawers you need to Get Smart (just like the old detective show) with selections which will work in your teeny-tiny closet. You need ideas which don’t break the bank. Here’s 3:

#10– DON’T put hanging vs. hanging in the corners

DO NOT repeat the mistakes of closets past. Don’t design hanging space which butts against hanging space in the corner.  This creates a ‘Bermuda Triangle’ corner (although I’m not sure a triangle can also be a corner…but in this case it just might be true). Solve this problem with the design strategy below. Put shelving on the wall adjacent to the hanging.

#11– DO use thin and sturdy hangers

Those fat plastic hangers or HUMONGOUS wood suit hangers suck up too much space between hanging clothes in an already small closet.

Smart hanger design is one place where thin really is in. My favorite are thin velvet hangers. Clothes don’t slide off. And these hangers don’t eat up room you don’t have.

#12– DON’T buy ‘modular’ closet systems

There’s nothing wrong (in theory) with ‘modular’ closet systems. They’re sold based in common widths to save money. This is a good idea……. EXCEPT……. the widths of YOUR closet walls weren’t built with these modular units in mind. And this leaves dead space at the ends. With custom closets, a professional designer takes two side to side measurements (since most walls usually aren’t square and plumb). They use ‘non-modular sizes’ (especially at the ends) to take advantage of every square inch you’ve got.

#13– DO ‘separate’ your closet if you want to stay together

If you’re the “Felix” (an OCD neat freak) to his or her “Oscar” (he or she’s never met an organization system, they couldn’t avoid) you know a shared small walk-in closet CAN (and has) been the source of waaaay too many fights. And while ‘changing’ him or her (even with a dose or two of behavioral therapy) hasn’t worked thus far – you still need to figure out how to share this closet and not want to kill each other.

A starting point to sharing a closet (without concocting a plot which will land you in jail) is creating a ‘Mason/Dixon’ line separating his and her (or her and her or his and his) spaces. This dividing line can be a section of shelving or drawers. That way you can at least keep your side neat. And if you want more ideas to make the most of shared closets read Storage Wars: 7 Essential Tips to Win the Battle of the His and Hers Closet.

#14– DON’T bury your shoes underneath hanging clothes on the floor. Give footwear the respect it deserves. Give them shelves.

Shoes on the ground, shoes on the ground, you can’t find the pair you need with your shoes on the ground … a ‘somewhat’ famous singer never said.

Although you love your shoe collection it gets the worst treatment in your closet. They’re buried under hanging clothes (and they can’t even sit flat on flimsy wire shelves the builder threw up ‘lickety-split’ when constructing your home).

In your closet redesign add flat, adjustable shoe shelves. This strategy ‘promotes’ your pumps and puts spark into your sneakers.

#15– DO remember to have fun with your ‘feature wall’

Most people don’t realize they have a ‘feature wall’ in their closet, but everyone does (even if their closet is a disaster today). You see your feature wall is the best visible wall when you enter your closet. This is the wall which can shine (even if you need to go more ‘budget’ on the other walls). This is the wall which can make you actually proud to enter your closet.

On this wall use fun and functional drawers. Show off your finest clothes (long dresses and suits). Add a fun accessory like a wardrobe rod to stage tomorrow’s clothing. Your small closet can be cool…. really…. I’m telling the truth.  

#16– DON’T hang your clothes like you wear them

If you’re like most, you put your blouses and shirts on the top rod and pants and slacks on the bottom rod. This ‘seemingly’ makes sense because it’s how you wear them – from top to bottom. However, using this method is causing you to miss a valuable storage opportunity.

You see because folded pants take up less vertical space, if you put the pants on the top and shirts on the bottom, you’ll gain a shelf for more shoe storage.

#17– DO stay open to changing how you’ve stored for years. Fold more. Hang less.  

One of the problems with ‘finding’ more storage in your small closet is many people are as fixed about how they like to store (for example hang EVERYTHING, or I’m a ‘stacker’) as Dad is about his politics. And this can be a HUGE hurdle to a more efficient and effective design.

For example, ‘hanging everything up’ (as Mom used to harp for us to when we shared a reach in closet with our brother or sister) takes more room than folded clothes in drawers or on shelves.

If you want a more efficient closet, fold more, hang less. Don’t be the ‘old dog’ who can’t learn new storage tricks.

#18– DON’T forget to work around light switches, outlets, vents, and windows

So, you go out and buy this ‘whiz-bang’ modular closet system made in budget-cutting standard sizes. You’re dying to roll up your sleeves and put an end to the mess you call your walk-in closet.

You put up the first section. You step back and say, “Fantastic. ”  

You put up the second section. You say, “I’m pretty doggone good.”

You attempt to put up the third section. You step back and start spewing ‘French words’ even Old Man Parker from A Christmas Story hadn’t uttered. Your modular closet section is landing smack dab in the middle of the outlet (or register grate, or light switch…you name it).

No closet design is successful without identifying (and working around) switches, outlets, soffits, and windows. Don’t buy anything until you’re sure it’ll work in your space. If you don’t want to sweat these small (but critical) details, hire a pro who will be responsible to figure out the ‘zigs and zags’ of your closet and work around them.

#19– DO know how the costs add up

You’re trying to balance what you need vs. what you can afford in your walk-in closet. However, it’s hard to know how to get costs down so you can afford to do the job. Well, here’s simple Closet Economics 101 you need to know.

When designing – adding a higher mix of hanging will make your project cheaper and conversely, adding doors and drawers’ will drive costs up.

#20– DON’T be afraid to be a PIA (Pain In the *ss). Ask more questions.

When researching a walk-in closet, you have LOTS of questions. After all, this isn’t something you do every day. And this is why you can (and should) ask lots and lots and lots of questions. Whether you’re getting assistance from a professional closet designer (like me or one of my staff… sorry about the shameless plug) or trying to find somebody who knows anything about closet systems in the aisles of a big box store, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

If the professional designer or store personnel aren’t willing (or are frustrated helping you), TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!

#21– DO get ‘professional’ help (no, not that kind)

As Lao Tzu once said, “A wise man (or woman) knows what they don’t know. ”

And if you’re not an expert in closet design it usually pays (in a better – and more cost-effective design) to get ‘professional…. (’er closet design’) help.

Call a company like mine (Innovate Home Org in Columbus Ohio) or ask me for a referral to one of my closet buds across the country to assist you. Many will give a Free 3D closet design to boot.

Do you need it?

Small dressing rooms are comparable in functionality to solid closets: what to choose from this? When answering this question, the ergonomics of the dressing room should be taken into account. It should be convenient for a person inside to move around, respectively, the minimum width of such a space is 150 cm (shelves, clothes on hangers will take ~ 60 cm). Accordingly, if the choice is between a narrow dressing room and a closet, choose the latter.

Its benefits:

To make the dressing room as ergonomic and comfortable as possible, follow the designers' advice:

  1. Use the full height. In every house there are things that get 1-2 times a year. Their place is under the ceiling.
  2. Don't make extra shelves. The lower one, for example, is useless - put shoes or boxes directly on the floor.
  3. Plan your filling ahead of time. To do this, you need to know exactly what and in what quantity you need to store.
  4. Make a sliding door. Or a curtain. Or abandon it altogether in order to save space.
  5. Order an individual project. Only custom-made furniture takes into account all the nuances of the room and allows you to use every valuable centimeter of space.

It is impossible to say for sure which design of a small dressing room will suit everyone. Depends on the area and dimensions of the allocated premises, the number of things in storage.

A small dressing room can be organized in five ways - choose the one that suits you best.

Linear

Usually used in niches, looks like a closet or reach in closet system, separated from the room by curtains, sliding doors. In some cases, even a small stylish dressing room without doors looks good - for example, if it is located behind the bed and a partition separates it from the bedroom. Shelves along one wall are also often mounted in long, elongated spaces.

Corner

L-shaped plan is suitable for both long and square rooms. The dressing room is considered more spacious, because 2 walls are occupied at once.

U-shaped

think so that nothing intersects.

Parallel

The arrangement of two rows opposite is possible only in dressing rooms not less than 2 meters. It is appropriate to decorate the far wall with a mirror or fix an ironing board.

Circular

Shelves, rods and drawers are installed around the perimeter, including the space above the door. Suitable for wardrobe rooms of at least 4 square meters (2*2).

Where is the best location?

Arrangement of a small dressing room begins with the choice of location. If the apartment already has an empty pantry, it is easiest to use it. The pantry is usually located in a convenient area, already separated by a door, has lighting. In other cases, you will have to use living space for a dressing room.

The most commonly used option with zoning the bedroom. The design of the room is initially designed taking into account the location of a small dressing room. It is placed behind the bed or at the entrance, depending on the layout of the room. The bedroom will become smaller, but you will be able to store all the clothes, shoes and other necessary items in a place hidden from prying eyes.

The advantage of a dressing room in the bedroom is an intimate setting in which you can change clothes in peace.

The second most popular example of the placement of dressing rooms is the entrance hall or corridor. Usually there is little furniture and enough space for cabinets. In a spacious corridor in a square or close to a square shape, with the help of partitions or compartment doors, a niche is separated and shelves are placed in it. Narrow elongated is only suitable for a large closet.

Ironing board storage ideas for a small apartment

A small dressing room should be thought out to the smallest detail: you have to not only choose the right elements, but also correctly position them relative to each other. Drawers should open, clothes on hangers should be conveniently removed and returned back.

You should start with the bars: the free space under them depends on the things that are stored on the hangers. Dresses, long coats - 150-160 cm, shirts - 90-100 cm, trousers - 65-75 cm. hang clothes or take them out, and lift them back when the process is completed.

Mandatory attribute of the dressing room, even in the mini version - drawers. Inside it is convenient to store underwear and other clothes that do not require storage on a coat hanger.

There are never too many additional shelves: shoes, boxes with the necessary things, accessories are put on top.

When arranging storage up to the ceiling, be sure to think about exactly how you will get and put into place items from the top three shelves. It is logical to place here a small stepladder, which facilitates the task.

Don't forget the basic usability element: light. Lucky if the dressing room has a window. But more often closed spaces are reserved for storage, so lighting is mandatory here even in the daytime. High-quality illumination will be provided by several recessed spots or directional lamps on the bus.

How to store things in a small hallway?

The organization of a small dressing room is no different from a large one. To make it convenient and intuitive to use, consider compartments for each type of clothing and accessories: trousers, shirts, underwear and socks, belts, bags, watches.

Lower shelves for shoes. It is convenient to put out-of-season things in boxes and clean them to the very top.

If your closet has more clothes that are stored on the shelves, make more drawers and go for a vertical storage system. Things are folded into compact rectangles and placed on the "end" in rows.

Folding this way saves space and keeps order. You can be sure that one thing will not pull several others along with it (as is often the case when storing in piles).

The last detail is the layout logic. The most used things are stored at eye and hand level, the upper shelves under the ceiling are reserved for seasonal or rarely needed things. At the very bottom are items that are not needed every day, but should remain available.

We hope that among the photos of small wardrobes in the article, everyone will find the perfect option for themselves!

Features

by these salvation for people who can boast of a beautiful and expensive personal wardrobe, will become an organization . This is a great way to organize the storage of things, shoes, accessories without much difficulty.

Before we tell you what the design of a dressing room of 4 square meters should be, we will describe the main distinguishing features of the design of such an area:

Regarding the design of the room, we note that it can be varied. In this matter, it all depends on the taste preferences of the owner of the home.

If you create an open dressing room, then its finish should match the finish of the rest of the space, in harmony with it, complement it. If the wardrobe remains separated from the rest of the room by a blind partition with a door, the design of the walls, floor, ceiling may already be different, unique.

Location options

The wardrobe room project 4 m photo 4 sq m should be created after the place for its creation is chosen. Which option is the most convenient and practical? The answer is not always clear, as much depends on the layout and size of housing.

If the accommodation has a separate room with or without windows, a storage room 2x2 m, an attic, you can arrange a comfortable mini dressing room here. The main thing is to make sure that it is well ventilated. Then things will be reliable, and the smell of mustiness from clothes will never bother you.

If this is not possible, you will need to fence off part of another room, allocating 4 square meters of space for storage systems. But where is the best place to organize a dressing room? You can install a small storage system in a bedroom city apartment. For example, to fence off the corner of the room or part of the room, if it has an elongated shape. You can install a storage system in the niche available here, on a balcony or loggia. This is a rather logical decision, since in the morning a person needs to change from home clothes to a smart day off. The main thing is that the size of the bedroom allows you to do this.

It is convenient to have a dressing room in the corridor if it has a niche or a blind ending that you can block off with your own hands. Often, apartments in houses from the time of Khrushchev are distinguished by such a strange layout of the corridor. It is unlikely that it will be possible to use such a space in a different way, but it will be quite possible to place a wardrobe here.

And in a private two-story mansion, a small dressing room can be created under the stairs to the top floor, in the attic or on the veranda. Often such premises are littered, and do not benefit their owners. At the same time, a dressing room in the attic or veranda is quite comfortable and practical.

As for the configuration of the storage room for personal belongings, the most common options are as follows:

It is more practical to create a closed dressing room with sliding doors. For an area of ​​​​4 square meters, experts recommend using one door if the dressing room is square. It is worth installing two doors if the dressing room has an elongated shape. But the features of the location of the compartments for shelves, rods, for accessories, everyone is free to choose at their discretion.

Organization of space

A dressing room allows you to give a bedroom or corridor more space, because there is no need to force the space with a lot of bulky cabinets, bedside tables, shelves. This is a practical option, the organization of which does not require large material investments.

In order to endow the dressing room with a high level of comfort, it must contain practical and reliable fittings for clothes:

An interesting option is ultra-modern telescopic rods with hangers for clothes, hooks for storing shoes, which, if necessary, can be lowered below or raised to the ceiling. In fairness, we note that the systems are not cheap, but they are incredibly comfortable to use.

It is worth taking care that while changing clothes it is convenient for a person to look in a large mirror. It is not superfluous to choose for such a space a small ottoman, a bench for access to the upper racks. Will it fit on four square meters? And how to organize this space with maximum benefit?

To rationally use the space of four square meters, it is worth dividing it into several zones. In order not to confuse anything, draw up a detailed project of a dressing room of 4 sq. M, describing in it all the allocated zones.

Zones Parameters
For outerwear The depth of this zone should be 0. 5 m, and the height - 1.5 m. Then things will fit freely, they will not be crushed one against the other, but at the same time it will be comfortable to use the zone.
For short items Drawers, shelves, pipes with hangers - all this should be used, based on the characteristics of the apartment owner's wardrobe.
For shoes Placed under the short clothing module, can be in the form of racks or shelves for boxes. If the owner of the house is used to storing exclusively in boxes, then a wide shelf with a depth of 0.4 m or more will do. If boxes are not provided, you can pick up unique innovative systems from hooks or shoe holders.
Changing area This fourth zone must certainly contain a mirror. Since there is not much space near the dressing room, it is better to use a hinged mirror by installing it on the door. Then the person will be quite comfortable. Swap one outfit for another.

If you don't want to waste time looking for the right thing among countless outfits, you can zone the space for men and women. And in each zone, select subzones, as described above. Then using the dressing room will be even more comfortable.

Filling

Filling a dressing room with an area of ​​only four square meters is not an easy task. When choosing storage systems, it is important to understand that free access must be provided to each shelf, hanger or rack. Then it will be possible to use the premises without additional difficulties.

Let's take a look at the main recommendations of experienced designers on this topic below:
