Marble Touch

If your closet features an island, opt for a marble top. Marble is a timeless material, so it makes for a worthwhile investment, as it will never go out of style. Get more trendy with things like curtains and decorative pieces that are easier and more affordable to swap out down the line.

Clear and Simple

If your closet is super small, keep it nice and sleek. Pare down your belongings and keep only the clothes that mean the most to you. Opt for glass walls and a simple clothing rack for hanging items. Keep accessories neutral and to a minimum so that the area doesn't feel cluttered.

Sitting Pretty

If space allows, adding an accent chair to your closet will make the getting ready experience feel more comfortable and luxurious.

Choosing a piece that can be moved around the space as needed is even more beneficial.

To keep your closet looking well-organized and high end, opt for corresponding sets of hangers. Toss the freebie wire hangers from the dry cleaners and invest in some that will hold your clothes securely and make you feel excited to put away your laundry. All-white hangers are generally a no-fail option.
