One of my favorite things to do on Pinterest is look at designer closets. In fact, I have an entire Dream Closet board filled with images I love. Not only are designer closets pretty to look at but I love analyzing the storage and organizational details that make it stylish and functional.

During my latest round of pinning images, I took note of some of the style details that make a designer closet, a designer closet.  I recognized that many of the elements are things that will work in any closet, regardless of its size.  So while I continue to dream about my designer closet, here are 10 design details you can use in your own closet that will turn a humble closet into a hollywood dream.

• Creating storage behind closed doors is definitely and high-style trick that you can add to your own closet.  Glass fronts will allow you to see the contents inside and preserve leather and hardware finishes on handbags and accessories.

• Even the smallest of vanity areas is a great design touch for a closet.  Create your space above a set or drawers or add a small table or wall shelf between shelving or in a corner. And once you start decorating your vanity area, make sure to incorporate a few pretty but functional pieces.

• Even a small stool will add stylish seating to your designer closet.  If you don’t have open wall space where a stool can sit, tuck it into the shelving under  hanging garment.

• I have to admit I’m a little ‘mommy dearest’ when it comes to matching hangers in the closet.  Regardless of the type of hangers you use, using one style throughout the closet will instantly UpStyle the look and feel of your closet space.

And if new hangers are not in the budget right now, shop thrift stores and spray paint the hangers to create a uniform look.

• A little paint or wallpaper can go a long way in adding designer style to your closet.  Even if you can’t  paint or wallpaper the entire space, consider dressing up one accent wall or even the ceiling.

• One thing you’ll notice about most designer closets is that they use storage baskets and bins to keep things organized.  Baskets can hold t-shirts sorted by color, accessories or even staples like jeans and sweaters.  Use one or two basket styles to create a uniform look with your closet decor.

• Display hooks are definitely a designer touch but for just a few dollars and no physical labor you can add them to your closet.  These shelf hooks from Container Store are great if you have a wire rack system in your closet and these hooks from Ikea work great on solid surface shelving.

• It’s easy to add unique details to your closet space and give it a designer feel.  I love the architectural look of these wood shelves for holding jewelry and other accessories.  You can install your own with these wall cubes from Home Depot.

• Chic and efficienet lighting is a must for any closet space.  A chandelier is always elegant and picture lights are ideal when you need direct lighting in specific areas.  Ikea has a nice selection of unique wall mounted spotlights.

• I don’t know how many times I see someone that’s not dressed to impress and question whether or not they have a dressing mirror.  Every designer closet needs them.  You can hang an inexpensive full length mirror on a door or wall, or get creative and UpStyle the look with molding and trims.

Every time I look at designer closets I’m inspired to make a few simple changes to give our petite space the designer touch.  And I truly believe that a pretty closet space will put added pep in your step as you get ready in the morning.
