Small Closet, Big Style

Closet_hero

A revamped guestroom closet serves two purposes: extra storage for the homeowner and neat organization for her guests. Combine easy-to-install wire shelving with colorful accessories to get the look.

For You and Your Guests

A clear-pocket hanging shoe bag on the closet door keeps items off the floor and in full view. A door also can provide a great place for a full-length mirror. Coordinating wooden hangers make the space look and feel neater. Supply extra hangers and leave open shelves for your guests to use.

Put It Away

Wire sliding baskets are perfect for storing sweaters and other seasonal clothing. Additional bins and drawer organizers keep smaller items easy to find.

Comforts of Home

A bin stocked with soap, lotion, and a robe gives guests a special treat. Providing an extra blanket and pillow in the closet is a thoughtful touch too.

Dressing Area

Simply add shelving, lighting, and a mirror in your guestroom to create a dressing area. Guests can use the spot to apply makeup or freshen up after a busy day.
