When designing a bedroom sometimes closet doors and closet space is overlooked in the process. This large canvas should not be forgotten or become an afterthought in any bedroom remodel; instead, add character and charm by using these great ideas and tips.

  • Find alternative closet solutions, such as wardrobes, decorative storage units, or armoires; by incorporating these pieces of furniture you can open up your closet space and provide additional room for a small work area, home office, craft station, book nook, or more.
  • Replace your closet doors or consider other decorative solutions. It may be time to take out those old, rickety sliding closet doors and replace them. If you prefer to keep your closet doors but want to give them a new look, apply a fresh coat of paint, add new hardware, or wallpaper your closet door.
  • These are put a few suggestions on how to incorporate your closet doors and space in your next bedroom remodel. If you have a creative closet solution or bedroom design idea you would like to share, please visit my forum, Facebook page, or follow me on Twitter to include photos and a short description.

Your best bet is to check with the realtor you plan on listing the property with. Closets are very important nowadays, more so than in the past. As long as you have ample closet space, you should be fine. But, if there are say, NO closets, you should consider adding some or coming up with some alternative. They don’t necessarily have to be WALK-IN closets, but just average size for that house, room, etc.
