Your Primary Closet, Upgraded
A reach-in closet can be just as functional (and beautiful) as a walk-in—when it’s designed well. The Container Store’s Elfa system offers fully customizable solutions that maximize every inch while keeping things clean, streamlined, and easy to use.
Today, we’re spotlighting two distinct takes on the Elfa 8′ Reach-In Closet, both tailored for a primary bedroom—but each with its own layout and vibe to suit different needs.
Design One: Balanced Storage with a Built-In Feel
This version of the Elfa system is all about balance—ideal for anyone who wants both open visibility and enclosed storage. It combines hanging space, sleek drawers (not mesh!), and clean shelving for a closet that feels custom without the commitment.
What We Love:
- Double hanging rods for shirts, pants, and shorter layers
- Full-extension drawers with solid fronts—great for undergarments, accessories, or folded pieces
- Upper shelves perfect for bins, bags, or seasonal items
- A warm neutral finish that looks high-end but stays versatile
Best For: Couples, anyone who shares a space, or those who like their closet to feel like a built-in dresser + wardrobe combo.
Design Two: Light, Streamlined & Open
This configuration leans more minimal, with an emphasis on open shelving and vertical space. It’s perfect for someone who loves clean lines and an airy, modern look.
What We Love:
- Long hanging space for dresses, coats, or longer garments
- Open shelving that makes it easy to see what you own
- Fewer drawers, more room for labeled bins or display-worthy storage
- A bright white finish that bounces light and keeps everything feeling open
Best For: Solo users, minimalists, or anyone with a curated wardrobe who prefers fast access to daily essentials.
