Walk-in Closet Decoration Ideas

Depth and Usage Frequency

Due to its convenience and versatile nature, it's advised that you have a clear depth and usage frequency in mind for the walk-in closet.

Middle Space

• At least 60-100cm of space is recommended for walking space for typical walk-in closets (even more in the case of walk-in closets with swing-open doors). For extra-spacious walk-in closets, a little island counter in the middle would make a good addition.

Depth

• At least 60cm is recommended.

Hanging Rod Height

• A hanging rod in the closet should be at least 150-160cm or at least convenient to reach.

Upper storage compartment height

• The upper storage compartment shouldn't be anywhere above 180cm.

Bottom storage compartment height

• The bottom storage compartment should be between 35-40cm.

Divide the closet into different sections

Having the walk-in closet divided into sections will allow for more convenience and organization in the way of clothes and other item storage.

Dividing based on types of clothing usage

• Pajamas, casual, work attire, etc.

Dividing based on usage frequency

• You could have the section housing work attire near the bathroom (or anywhere else up to your convenience) for convenience and quick accessibility. On the other hand, those who work remote could also dedicate their walk-in closet to other types of clothes.

Dividing based on type of clothing storage

• Dedicating one zone to hanging clothes and the other for folded clothes.
• Dress wearers could use walk-in closets with one hanging rod while t-shirt and shorts wearers could use walk-in closets with two hanging rods.

Allowing natural lighting via sunlight

Natural light entering the walk--in closet not only helps lessen the humidity but also makes the interior more presentable and pleasant to the eye. Moreover, for women who love to do makeup, natural lighting via sunlight helps with visibility and saving electricity by not having to turn on all the interior lights.

Combatting Humidity: How a Spacious Interior Can Help

Commonly located near the bathroom, walk-in closets are relatively susceptible to humidity from the bathroom. To counteract this issue, at least 120cm distance from the wet and dry zones of the bathroom is recommended. If possible, try to not clutter around clothes and items too close to one another to avoid humidity and potentially fungus or bacteria.

Increasing walk-in closet space

Space is a top priority for anyone wanting to use a walk-in closet, particularly in condo units which already have limited space to begin with, as users can store additional items in addition to their clothes such as shoes or other accessories. Having the walk-in closet with one hanging rod is recommended so you could better store clothes you don't use as much such as a bulky coat as well as additional storage for large luggage underneath. For accessories users, the bottom drawers serve as additional storage.
