Measure the room and plan zones: long-hang, double-hang, shelving, drawers, and a center island if space allows. A 10x10 room provides ample space for a full custom closet.
Estimated time: 2 days
Remove the closet door from the adjoining master bedroom to create an open flow. Patch and paint any holes. Optionally widen the doorway between rooms.
Estimated time: 2 days
Mount a modular closet system (IKEA PAX, ClosetMaid, or custom-built) with adjustable shelves, double-hang sections, shoe racks, and drawer units. Anchor everything to wall studs.
Estimated time: 4 days
If the room is large enough, add a dresser island with a countertop for folding and accessories. A velvet ottoman or bench provides seating for putting on shoes.
Estimated time: 2 days
Replace the ceiling fixture with bright LED lighting. Add LED strip lights inside shelving units and under cabinets. Proper lighting makes a huge difference in a closet.
Estimated time: 2 days
Mount a full-length mirror on the wall or door. Add hooks for belts and scarves, jewelry organizers, and laundry hamper. Paint walls a light, neutral color.
Estimated time: 1 days
