5 Things You Need for the Perfect Walk-in Closet
A walk-in closet is both a sanctuary and a luxury. Built it right with Chandra Interiors.
We no longer see closets as just a space to store clothes in. Closets have become an important part of our homes. It is vital in creating a personal statement of our style choices. One of the ways we showcase this is by creating a walk-in closet.
A walk-in closet is safe space — a sanctuary to get dressed in peace and in complete privacy.
Chandra Interiors believes that a space dedicated solely to getting ready is a huge plus because it creates a separate environment where you can prepare yourself mentally for wherever you’re going. The interior design of your walk-in closet is gets you in the right headspace and mood to take on anything.
And this is why you have to make sure it’s exactly suited to your style.
Ready to design your very own walk-in closet? Here are 5 things you need to consider to make sure that your walk-in closet is 100% you.
1. Space
Before we get into all the nitty-gritty details, we have to know how much space we’re going to allot for it. Will it be a small walk-in closet made out of a space in an already existing room or will it be an entire room on its own? Decide exactly how big our closet is going to be so we can plan the rest accordingly.
2. Needs
What are your needs? Why do you need a walk-in closet? What will you be keeping in this closet? This is why it’s important to know our space allotment from the very start.
Here are a few guide questions that are more specific and may aid us in this process:
How many cubicles do I need?
How many drawers do I need?
Will I keep a shoe rack in here? What about a bag rack?
How much hanging space do I need?
high up should my hanging closet go?
How big do I need my mirror to be?
Do I need a makeup area?
Do I need an island or a counter to place things on when I’m getting ready?
Will I be needing some seating space or not?
Do I even want drawers or would an open shelf style be enough?
3. Style
The interior design of the walk-in closet has to be a direct reflection of our style. This is where we’ll be getting ready for everything anyone could possibly get ready for: school, work, dates, parties, or any kind of event whatsoever. That’s why it has to be a place that makes you feel confident and helps you think clearly.
There are a lot of different styles of walk-in closets to choose from. There are so many different ways to go: elegant and classy, rustic and homey, chill and cool. Whatever style you choose, make sure it’s something that sparks joy in you. Check Chandra Interiors now for designs that will inspire you.
4. Layout
Once we’re clear on the space we’ll be allotting for this special room, we need to make a layout. The layout is the arrangement of the over-all interior design of the closet. You can design one on your own or you can contact Chandra Interiors. We offer contracting services for rooms as well as closets so this is a really great deal!
Again, we have to be clear on our needs so we can adjust everything accordingly. If we need a bigger hanging space rather than a bigger cubicle space, it’ll all be laid out here. This is where we decide where to put that makeup table. Will we finally decide on whether we want an island or a counter more?
This part can be a bit difficult which is why we highly suggest looking into Chandra Interiors for this job. The wrong layout could ruin the entire interior design and make you feel bad about what should be a sacred sanctuary!
5. Lighting
Having a walk-in closet means taking a ton of mirror selfies in it! Proper lighting is vital. Natural lighting is always the best type so, if possible, integrate a window. If this is not possible, worry not — there’s no issue since, either way, you’ll be needing lights in there anyway.
For this step, again, we advise that you hire professionals to do the job. We provide beautiful lighting fixtures and installations perfect for any type of lighting you’d prefer. We have lamps, overhead lights, and even under-cabinet lighting! You won’t run out of options with our services and products.
Your perfect project partner
Building the perfect walk-in closet takes a lot of time and effort. It’s not something you can just take for granted because — let’s face it — it’s a luxury addition to any home. You have to be careful with who you entrust the vision of this to. Be sure that they can execute it perfectly; otherwise you could end up with a lot of issues.
There could be a lot of building and electrical permits that you have to be aware. Let Chandra Interiors handle these so you can focus on more important things. Make your walk-in closet the sanctuary you deserve with us!
