Can the CLOSET come out to play?

Hello, Month of May! Walk-in closets for kids?

We’ve all heard of people who want to get out of the closet but some – like our children – want in!

The latest buzz is about children and teens getting custom walk-in closets in their home – courtesy of their parents, of course!

Be the first in your social network to do something so current on the interior design frontlines.

Before you turn away from this idea, think again. We personalize our children’s spaces – study, play, bedroom, but what about creating an amazing space in their closet? It might inspire them so much they’ll keep their things neat and organized.

While researching and designing closets for my clients this month, here’s what the design community is saying about the benefits:

We are seeing a 30% increase in organizing children’s spaces… adding such things as boutique-style shoe racks, designer wallpaper, velvet-lined jewelry drawers, baskets, rods and velvet cover hangers. Space to show off prized athletic shoes.

Is this too spendy? Does not have to be.

My tips:

Whimsical chandeliers for unique touch

Think playfull versions of their parent’s walk- in closets! Use see-through storage items so they can easily find what they want. Or mirrored doors to show off in! Create a theme for the fun of it. If room, add a clothes hamper. There is no reason this can’t start in early childhood and, by using adjustable objects, expand as they do.

Friends and relatives will tell you how clever you are. Guaranteed.
