  • Walk-in Closet Makeover | Transform Your Closet into a Luxurious Space

    Walk-in Closet Makeover | Transform Your Closet into a Luxurious Space

    Have you ever envisioned your dream closet? Well there is no need to go out a buy a new home. I will give an easy way to transform your walk in closet into a beautiful and luxurious space. If you are looking for a more functional closet space this walk-in closet makeover is a must see. See how I was able to turn my crowded disorganized closet into an open dressing area with lots of storage and style.

    Planning the Transformation

    When, I initially got the vision of how I wanted to transform this hideous Her’s master closet (before pics below) into my dream closet, I thought I would go online and shop for all the different pieces and install them ourselves. However, after we calculated the time it took to measure the space and configure the areas to my liking. I made the decision to have a professional come out and do the installation. I really wanted the closet finished before my birthday, so professional installation was the best choice. The easy way is to hire installers LOL! I’m so glad we did!

    Before

    The demolition process

    The professional installers came and removed all the existing shelving units in the closet. I’m not going lie! Once those shelves were removed, I got realllllll NERVOUS! Can you say shook? The walls were terrible! The space had holes and busted drywall everywhere. *Insert me pouting* After, the shelves were carefully removed, the closet space then received repairs to the drywall and a fresh coat of paint. I instantly started to feel better.

    After

    Once the paint was dry the installers came back in to install the custom closet unit that I designed. The installation was finally complete. Then the decorating fun began!!! We changed out the ugly light fixture with a beautiful crystal chandelier. Next, I changed the hangers on all of the clothes. Then, used the custom drawer organizers in each drawer. Lastly, I added a vase with flowers, wall art, a luxurious sunglass tray and a necklace stand to give the closet a boutique feel. You can purchase all the items I used for this transformation here.

    Finally, the walk-in closet transformation was complete! Can you believe we totally transformed the space in just a day? I can’t either. But I am so happy we did because I love my new luxurious walk in closet. Before, I wouldn’t have even considered it a closet, it was just a deep and cluttered closet. Now it’s an open and very luxurious walk in closet with room for me to actually change in it. This is exactly what I had envisioned for the perfect Her’s master bedroom closet.

    My favorite part of about closet is EVERYTHING! The glass cabinets for my handbags, belt rack, scarf rack, valet, shelves for my shoes, custom trays for my jewelry and a hamper for the dirty clothes are all exactly what I envisioned. I have so many clothes so I needed a beautiful space to keep my wardrobe. Let me know if you ever thought about a closet makeover or have transformed your Her’s master closet into the closet of your dreams.
