How to build your own walk-in closet?

The walk-in closet: (almost) every woman’s dream! Don’t just dream it—make it happen! We guarantee that any woman can build a walk-in closet, whether your home is big or small, or whether you live alone or with someone else. All you need to do is follow these 3 steps below. Read on!

A walk-in closet in the bedroom or a separate room?

The first step is deciding where you want to build your walk-in closet. You could sacrifice part of your bedroom to create a compact walk-in closet, or you could dedicate an entire spare room to it. The bigger, the better, right ;)!?

You could also set up a walk-in closet in the attic. Sloped attic ceilings are actually very useful to incorporate into your layout. Read on to find out how!

Clear space for your walk-in closet

The next step might seem tricky, but it’s actually quite simple: clearing space so you can design and set up your ideal custom walk-in closet. All you need to do is identify which belongings don’t strictly need to be kept in that spot. You’ll just need to find another place for those items.

Converting an entire room into a walk-in closet? Take a look at the things you don’t use every day and store them in a secure, climate-controlled storage unit at a nearby ALLSAFE Mini Storage facility. Winter sports gear, Christmas decorations, and seasonal clothing are only needed a small part of the year, so storing them off-site creates more space at home for your dream closet. Starting from just €1.40 a week, you can store up to 10 full moving boxes!

Design your walk-in closet as efficiently as possible (so you can fit more shoes, bags, and clothes 😉

The final step is organizing your walk-in closet to maximize storage capacity, because lots of clothes, shoes, and bags are what we really want, right ladies ;)? Below are a few walk-in closet ideas to help you decide what to build in your own walk-in closet!

Shoe storage system

Even with just a narrow section of wall space, you can store a ton of shoes. For instance, you can build this handy shoe storage system using items from IKEA.

Sloped ceilings

Sloped walls in a room or attic are actually great to make use of when designing your walk-in closet! Spaces you wouldn’t normally use become perfect spots for hanging a clothing rail or building cubbies for shoes, bags, and folded shirts.

Tips for a walk-in closet in a small space

Even if you don’t have a lot of room, you can still build a walk-in closet. Stack cabinets, rails, and shelves on top of each other to make full use of the room’s height. Also, look for small corners where you can install a clothing rod to quickly create an extra garment rack! Don’t have a separate room? Use a curtain or a room divider placed behind your bed. This keeps your bedroom looking tidy while still giving you your own walk-in closet!
