THE PERFECT #GRWM CLOSET
Getting ready in the morning doesn’t have to be a chore. Creating a closet space that is both functional and beautiful can help inspire you to get out of bed and start that gussying up process. It doesn’t matter if you take 3 hours to get ready or 5 minutes; a space should set the tone for your morning routine and motivate you to start your day. Whether you get ready in your bedroom, bathroom, closet, or all three, here are some ways to create the perfect #GRWM space.
A space that helps you:
You can never have enough storage! But not everyone is blessed with a full-sized walk-in closet. Make the most of your space with well-thought-out storage solutions. Consider installing shelves, drawers, and hanging rods to maximize space and keep items easy to find. This will help keep your closet clutter-free and make it easy to find what you need. Additional features such as dividers and drawer organizers are a big help when it comes to keeping clothes and accessories in order.
Modular storage is a great way to create a functional and flexible closet. They can be easily rearranged and reconfigured to suit your changing needs such as switching from a winter wardrobe to a spring one. This will allow you to adapt your closet to your evolving style and storage needs.
A space that works for you:
Now that you have the proper setup and storage solutions, a closet should make it even easier for you to get ready in the morning. Adequate lighting is essential—you need to be able to see yourself and your wardrobe! Consider adding a combination of overhead and task lighting, or even a chandelier if you have a large enough space. This will ensure you have enough light to clearly see yourself and your outfits.
A full-length mirror is a must-have in any getting-ready space. Mirrors can help create the illusion of a larger space. Putting a mirror in the closet helps prevent you from running to either your bedroom or bathroom to double-check yourself.
Keep as much function as you can in one space. A seating area, such as a bench or chair, can provide a comfortable and functional spot to sit while getting ready. This can also serve as a spot to put on shoes or take them off. Be careful not to let it devolve into “the chair:” a blackhole of in-between items you were totally going to deal with later. With the proper organization, the chair should never get the opportunity to become a dreaded clothing void.
A space that calls to you can make all the difference. Incorporate décor that reflects your personal style and makes the space feel inviting. For walk-in closets, consider adding a gallery wall, plants, or other decorative elements to personalize the space. This will make your closet feel like an extension of your home and a place you enjoy spending time in.
A Space that inspires you:
A colour scheme that complements your bedroom or bathroom ensures a cohesive design. But it’s also important to note how your wardrobe will look against a splash of paint. For fewer distractions, consider going for a neutral colour palette for a timeless look. A pop of colour can be a great accent for a feature wall or keep it limited to décor or artwork. This will ensure that your closet feels like a space you’d want to be in.
If you can, further personalize the space with family photos or artwork to make it feel more comforting. Placing your favourite artwork or memories can inspire you to push through the morning haze and get yourself ready to face the day.
By following these tips, you can create the perfect closet to help you get ready in the morning. Keep in mind the purpose of the closet, the needs of the space, and your personal style when decorating. This will ensure that your closet is both functional and beautiful and that it sets the tone for the rest of your day.
