5 Custom Elements To Elevate Your Boutique Walk-In Closet

Posted on: 25 July 2022

A boutique walk-in closet is a dream come true for many homeowners. But when you have so much space to work with, you deserve more than simply a large amount of hanging racks and shoe organizers. The cabinetry you install will have a big impact on its look, comfort, and usefulness. What should you include in your custom boutique closet? Here are a few important elements.

Closet Island

A closet island is a cross between a kitchen island and a bedroom dresser. It generally sits in a central position in the closet and provides a useful countertop space — or two, if your closet is large enough. It also includes several drawers and possibly a cabinet under that counter. This is a great workstation for the entire space and can store items you use every day, as well. 

Rotating Storage

If your wardrobe, shoe, or accessory collection is already quite large, don't overlook the value of the walk-in closet for rotating seasonal items. Overflow storage in large cabinets or deep drawers allows you to keep your most used wardrobe pieces handy while putting away those you don't need until later. Many boutique closet owners combine seasonal storage with bench seating. 

Custom Drawers

The drawers in a boutique closet separate it from ordinary closets. Few standard closets have any cabinets with drawers, but these are useful for everything from jewelry and hair pieces to socks and scarves. Customize your drawers to efficiently and comfortably hold your particular style of smaller accessories by sizing the drawers correctly and installing built-in organizers. 

Cabinet Doors

A boutique closet should be a refreshing and enjoyable place to spend time in. However, many people's closets feel far from relaxing. Don't let your larger space become chaotic, overstuffed, or claustrophobic by designing it so that cabinetry hides any mess. The simple addition of cabinet doors, large and small, allows you to close off unsightly elements and even hide expensive pieces.

Built-In Features

Along with cabinets and drawers, add built-in elements for the more practical parts of the closet's role. Install a pull-out hamper behind a cabinet door. Place mirrors on cabinet doors for close-ups at jewelry or shoe stations. Try a drop-down ironing board or steamer station. You might even want a hidden cabinet safe for your most valuable jewelry. Personalize your amenities to your interests. 

Where to Start

Start designing the boutique walk-in closet of your own dreams by meeting with a contractor in your area today. No matter which of these above amenities and others you choose, the result will be a space that makes getting ready every day both fun and efficient.

Going for the Big Build

Sometimes, contractors talk about the "big build." This is usually a build that is larger than the ones they have done in the past. Sometimes, it is a build that pushes them to enhance their skill set or step outside the box. Ask yourself what the equivalent of a big build is in your life. As you do, you'll learn that you can relate to contractors more directly than you thought possible. On the surface, they build homes and other structures, but deep down, they're artists striving to create. Read more about contractors and their work here, and keep deepening your understanding.
