Trending Closets that Add Style to Your Home

Helloooo, closet ideas! If you're looking to update your closets and add style to your home at the same time, this blog is for you! 


Today we're diving into all the trending closet ideas that we have fallen in love with. As you know, we are obsessed with all things interior design, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that we try to stay up to date with all the latest trends. While we know that trends can come and go, it's always good to take inspiration from them to create a space that is timeless and speaks to who you are.


We love getting ready in style, as this is how you start the day. Feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to take on the world is how we want you to feel every morning as you are getting ready.  Your closet should inspire you while being fun, exciting and practical.  We hope you take away a few of the things we love and get started on your DIY projects or even better give us a call to help you update your wardrobe.


open closets

We love organization and a clean closet just as much as the next interior designer, open closets are a trend that we love seeing!  But the trick is to have a combination of both open and closed spaces, that way if you want to hide some messy areas you don’t have to worry about always being organized.  Open closets are all about showing off your organization and the beauty of your closet system whether it's a beautiful wood or a bright and funky color.

If you plan on going down the route of an open closet, you'll want to ensure that your hangers are all matching, and investing in some matching storage bins (another place to hide messy stuff) will be well worth it and your closet will look incredible.

Vibrant colors

If you've seen our recent projects, you'll know we're a sucker for bright, punchy colors. Keeping it on theme with our modern coastal vibe, we know that sometimes a wardrobe or closet needs a punch of color. It's a great way to add a lot of impact in a small space. 

When we talk about vibrant colors, this doesn't necessarily mean hot pink cupboards; vibrant can be something softer, like dusty pink or maroon. Whatever color you choose to add will depend on what else you have going on in the interior of your home.


add a bench or ottoman

Adding a bench or an ottoman into your closet is so luxurious.  The trend of including a bench or ottoman into your closet encapsulates being both functional and pretty. Depending on the size and configuration or your closet will determine the size of the seating that will fit your space.

Seating in your closet is great for trying on shoes or contemplating what your going to wear before heading out the door. It’s a great way to have fun with color, pattern and texture. And don't be afraid to mix and match here. Why not grab a deep forest green ottoman and style it with a neutral-toned throw blanket? Try different combinations and see what works best!

insider tip!

If you're looking for additional storage in your wardrobe but can't find the right spot, select an ottoman or bench that includes storage!  We love adding in additional storage so we can be as functional and organized as possible, it’s even better when it's hidden.

Chic and functional home closet

handle free doors

Are you looking to create a sleek and modern vibe in your closet?  The easiest way to do this is by eliminating hardware (aka handles) are your door fronts and switch it out for a push pull door mechanism.


While we are fans of funky, fun, and elegant door handles, sometimes we opt out of using them.  By eliminating the door hardware you are allowing the material of your door to shine, whether its a gorgeous wood finish or a vibrant color. This trend is ideal for those who love and are going for a minimalist vibe as their interior design style. The slim design is also perfect for smaller homes in the San Diego area.


smart CLOSETS

Creating a smart home has become so easy with technology at our fingertips.  A great way to personalize your closet is to add in some technology, here are a few of our favorites. 

Smart light switches

Connect your light switches to smart home hub so that you can turn them on and off through your phone or by yelling at Alexa!


CABINET LIGHTING

Another great way to uplevel your closet is to add led strip lighting to each drawer and cabinet inside of your closet.  When you open each door, the light is triggered to switch on so that you always have a clear view of everything that you own. 

Google Home or Alexa

If budget allows you can build speakers into your ceilings or walls and connect it to your smart home hub.  If you're looking for an easier smart home upgrade just add in a google home or Alexa speaker into your closet so you can play some tunes or your favorite audiobook while you are getting ready.

Steam Closet

Hate taking your clothes to the dry cleaner every time you need those wrinkles ironed out? Look no further than the LG Steam Closet, it's a powerful steam technology that delivers cleaning assistance for hard-to-wash items and fabrics.

Washer and Dryer

Another way to up-level your Primary Closet is to add in a stackable washer and dryer just for yourselves.  No more sharing the laundry with the kids.

add a make-up vanity

Who doesn’t love a makeup vanity in their closet.  If you have space, this is one item you should not live without. Makeup vanities in primary closets have become increasingly popular over the years.  We love that they create a personalized space just for you outside of the bathroom, it’s close to your jewelry, clothes, shoes, and purses.  


The main thing to consider when adding a vanity to your closet is that you want to make sure that there is enough space for you and your partner's wardrobe with space to spare. Here at ASR, our interior design services are all about making the most of your space. And including a vanity is a great place to start.


sheer curtains

If you're lucky enough to have a closet with a window, we are so jealous!  Windows done correctly in a closet can add to the elegance of your space.  By adding in sheer curtains you are still allowing natural light to come through while providing privacy.   


Not only do sheer curtains soften a space, but they also add a huge amount of texture. Introducing texture and color into your closet adds another layer of warmth and personality.  We are all about finding simple additions to your space that can also have a significant impact. 

insider tip!

Looking for a bit more privacy - double up on your sheer curtain by using two layers of fabric instead of one.  Do you want a more sophisticated looking closet?  Attach your sheer curtains to the ceiling using a ceiling track.

mirrors

Now, would it really be your dream closet without a full-length mirror? Of course not! Including a mirror in your wardrobe might be obvious, but a mirror with built-in lighting is game changing for getting ready in the morning.

creating a vibe

Creating a vibe with your home interior, in particular your closet, really sets the tone for the day. While this might not necessarily be a trend, it's still worth mentioning. Taking the time to create a vibe can completely change the entire look and feel of whatever room you're working with. 

We are huge fans of having the right lighting in your home so that you can control the mood of each space. Lighting really is one of the most impactful elements in interior design.  You can place your lights on dimmers (this is an easy DIY) or if you forgot to turn off lights, having your closet lighting on a motion sensor is a game changer.
