Closets the walk in kind

I am thinking I want one, a walk in closet that is.  My dilemma do I take a third of the bedroom up with building out the closet or stick to wardrobes that take far less space? I am leaning towards building out, it would make the bedroom much smaller but then I am not sure that bothers me. I don’t want the bedroom to be multi functional so don’t want to work in it, hold coffee mornings in it, or any of that sort of stuff. Just want a big bed, maybe a chair by the fire, heap of textiles and a rug oh and a chandelier, some cool bedside tables, bedside lamps – who says I am difficult! I’ve been wadding through some inspirational images of closets,  some people have given over whole rooms which I could also do but for some reason am reticent. I was saying to G this morning I am sure if I had a closet things wouldn’t be in such a mess, I can see myself happily humming away whilst folding neatly into piles jumpers, stacking shoes etc rather than the sorry state of affairs my current wardrobe is in. He raised his eyebrows and said he thought the humming would last the duration of approximately 5 minutes.  G is in a bit of a bad mood he has got to panel our downstairs loo this weekend in rustic old wood with a ton of splinters and he is not so happy with the chore ahead. Maud, Mungo are I are his assistants with an eye on the clock I reckon we can finish it in 2 hours!

First up two dream closets whereby the whole room is actually the walk in robe as they say in Australia:

Love it, a whole room as a closet would be amazing.

Jenna Lyon’s closet or room I should say remains one of my favourite. However I’ve decided not to give over a whole room instead incorporate into the bedroom.

Perfect little nook for shoes, loving the rug and below a simple nook converted into a closet.

    We have a walk in closet made from a space under our A roof, so while it is head height at one side, it goes down to waist height. It doesn’t have the space to spend much time in there and hum I have to admit!
    What I like about it, is that it keep by bedroom clutter free, I can hang clothes on pegs, put jumpers on top of the chest of drawers etc.

  2. Jenna Lyons dressing room was one of my sources of inspiration for changing the use of 2 of our bedrooms into dressing rooms…

    I say go for it!!! It’s a wonderful way to start your day…shopping in your own boutique…

    Some pictures below of where i’m at at the moment…

    If you can spare a bedroom for a walk in closet, go for it. The ease of finding things, of not having everything jammed together and being able to try out things instead of spreading everything out on the bed before choosing and then putting THOSE things back is so mentally soothing!

    Bonus points: Indulge in the biggest mirror you can justify (Heck, even cover one wall in mirrors!).

  5. No modern day wardrobe is ever sufficient. They create a false economy as they allow you to forget a proportion the clothes you own. Walk in all the way!!
