Looking good is all about having the space to both store the latest fashions and spend time getting your style right. Walk-in closets have been providing precisely these benefits for decades. However, common closet issues can quickly mean that your walk-in additions become more stress than savior. To create a walk-in closet that’s truly as stylish as you are, it’s therefore vital to close the door on the following common closet issues at last.
Limited space
Walk-in closets are supposed to provide more space for fashion, but your stylish leanings could quickly see you expanding your wardrobe to fit your closet, rather than the other way around. When this happens, the closet you designed to better organize your outfits can quickly become a tangled mess. To avoid this, it’s crucial to make sure that you’re always using this closet space to the best of your abilities. A mixture of rails, shoe storage, and storage boxes is the best way to do this. Equally, handy tips like the need to place pairs of shoes in opposite directions can buy you much-needed room that ensures space for your new purchases, and the fashion-based visibility that you were looking for when you designed that closet in the first place.
A lack of airflow
Typically, designing a walk-in closet in whatever space we have means that we don’t spare that much thought to airflow. This is a problem considering that these already-confined spaces are automatically at higher risk of mold spores and damp problems that can altogether ruin your best pieces. Not to mention that your stuffy closet won’t feel like the best place to get ready! It’s only by addressing this issue through the installation of either a window or extractor fan that you can finally keep things fresh. That’s not to say you won’t still experience damp problems in this space, but wet patches or musty smells in rooms where you have ample ventilation are typically more a sign of escalating issues that require the oversight of water damage restoration experts than they are a design flaw. In these instances, those airflow precautions could even save your clothes from a problem that would too easily fall under your radar otherwise!
Poor visibility
The best walk-in closet with all of the space and airflow that you desire could still set your style choices back if you install just one solo lightbulb in the middle of the space. For dark clothing, especially, it’ll be almost impossible to see your full outfit selection this way. To avoid this, it’s therefore vital that you install spotlights that can provide far more efficient coverage of even the farthest corners of your closet. Then, at a glance, you’ll be able to see what you’ve got, what it would look best with, and even how the finished product looks once you’re ready!
Walk-in closets can be a wonderful addition for any fashion-conscious individual, especially if they take steps to avoid these common issues for fashionable functionality at all times!
XOXO,
