If you have a walk-in closet with built-in shelving that is accentuated with glass, then one of the best ideas to incorporate in your closet space is a center Island.

Having a big center island will allow you to put on display your most prized possessions, whether it be a purse, a pair of shoes, or your most favorite jewelry.

You can decorate the center island with a nice vase of roses and accentuate it with a beautiful glass chandelier as well. Lighting is key in a room like this so be sure to use plenty of bright lights to highlight the center space. 

2. Vertical Accent Wall 

A vertical accent wall can help fill up wall space if there is too much blandness going on with your closet. Your accent wall can be anything from old personalized photographs or a collection of your favorite artwork.

You can even add a bit of a twist by displaying images of yourself wearing your most favorite pieces. Whichever way you design your vertical accent wall, incorporating one will add a really nice touch to any closet space.

3. Shades of Pink for Girls

Whether you are a little girl or a grown woman, the color pink is such a lovely shade that it is a no-brainer for incorporating it into a girly closet space.

To create this beautiful look, you will want to play with all different shades of pink. Add touches of blush pink to the carpets and accent pieces around the room.

Hints of pastel pink can be used in the curtains or the lighting, and of course rose gold is a perfect touch to any hardware, furniture, or even lighting fixtures that you use in the closet as well. 

4. Fancy Walk-in Closet with On-Trend Teal

This Aegean teal is such an inspiration to look for any walk-in closet design, especially one that’s really large and has lots of natural lighting that comes in.

To create this really cool and calm closet space, simply paint the surface of all exposed wood and storage shelves this beautiful glossy color. 

Pairing this beautiful teal with gold hardware is another great design tip to consider. The dark hue will allow you to draw inspiration every time you walk into a closet to put together an outfit for the day.

5. Use White

White is always a great way to help open up a small space and using white interiors in a closet is a great way to style the room so that it appears larger than it actually is.

Put this look together by using plenty of custom shelves that fit your unique closet space. You can combine as many or as few shelves as you need to create a nice-looking closet.

Because white can be such a mute color, consider organizing your closet space by color codes to help your accessories pop out. 

6. Black Interiors Can Fit Your Kid’s Walk-in Closet

Black interior for a child’s walk-in closet, especially a boy’s walk-in closet can be a great way to help put together a storage space.

Because children’s clothing can be so small, utilize plenty of racks because you will be able to fit in more racks to hang items than you would in an adult closet.

If space allows, you can also pull the furniture into the walk-in closet. Storage furniture will allow you to pack away small items like socks, underwear, and other frequently used articles. 

7. Single-Sided Walk-in Closet Ideas for Small Rooms

If you live in an apartment, then chances are you probably have a one-sided type of closet to store all your belongings in. When trying to dress up a small space like this, one of the best small walk-in closet ideas is to utilize plenty of storage and drawers.

Allow your drawers to go all the way up to the ceiling so that you can maximize all the empty space available. Because the small space can be unsightly, it’s a good idea to also have a door or curtain in place to conceal the closet area. 

8. His and Hers Walk-in Closet

One of the best closet ideas to use in a master bedroom is a couple’s closet that incorporates a “his” and “hers” space.

Putting together a shared closet space like this can be a really fun way to connect with your significant other. Not only are your belongings in the same area, but a large closet space allows you to see everything laid out.

During the mornings, having a shared space like this can be helpful for connecting with one another as you can help each other choose your outfits for the day. 

9. Behind Bed Walk-in Closet  

In some rooms, a room divider can be set up right behind the bed separating the closet space from the rest of the bedroom.

One of the best ways to create a functional yet divided space like this is by intentionally using wall molding. Use wall molding as a way to highlight the room divider and indicate where the bedroom stops and the closet starts.

Often, it can be helpful to use two different color tones so that the bedroom is one color scheme, and the molding where the closet starts is another.

In this style, using a contrasting black and white can be a really neat and unique way to highlight a behind-the-bed walk-in closet.

10. Open Walk-in Closet Ideas

If you have lots of storage bins, then bring in baskets to help you organize your closet space. Woven baskets can be really helpful in decluttering your closet all while giving your closet a visually appealing look.

For items that you rarely use, store them away in baskets up on the top of your shelving but ensure the baskets are still visible so that you can use them as decorative items as well.

On lower shelving, use baskets to store routinely used items like linens, pillowcases, and other heavily used items.

11. Keep It A Clean Look

For a large walk-in closet that is almost the size of a small bedroom, you can incorporate a built-in island that also has a seating bench. This island can be used for practical and decorative purposes.
