Closet Rooms Go Beyond Storage

Do you have an unused extra bedroom? If you are short on storage space, give some serious thought into converting it into a closet room. You’ll have plenty of space for clothing, shoes and accessories. Go one better and turn the room into a multi-functional living space that serves not only as a closet room but also as a hobby or crafts room. The possibilities are endless. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Islands: An island can be used as a shoe display, a dresser replacement, or an area for packing suitcases or folding clothes.

Seating: Adding a bench or window seat will help you be comfortable while preparing for the day.

Guest bed: A Murphy bed is easier to set up than a sofa bed or futon and is a great way to create a multi-purpose room. This video by zoom-room.com demonstrates a new concept in Murphy beds – a remote controlled wall bed system hidden in a cabinet.

Built-in accessories: Keep organized with belt and tie racks, valet rods and laundry hampers.

Hair Styling and Makeup: Create a vanity for accessorizing, makeup application and hair styling by adding a countertop,seat and mirror to your closet along with drawers to organize perfume, makeup, jewelry and blow dryers.

Wardrobe lifts: If you have a tall ceiling and want to maximize your space, you can use wardrobe lifts to reach clothing that is placed high in your closet.

Decor: Fresh flowers, artwork, chandeliers, freestanding mirrors, and base and crown moldings are just several ideas to enhance the appearance of your closet room.
