I know many of you have organizing your closet on the to-do list for the new year. I’ve started re-organizing mine, getting rid of pieces that no longer appeal to me and creating a pile for donation and a pile for alterations.
Spending time in my closet got me thinking about ways to add a little style to it. I know most of us don’t have closets as large and glamorous as the one below but we can dream right!
Yes, this space is amazing and the white finishes allow the clothes to stand out, but another element that I love in this closet is the personalization. Little details like the chandelier and artwork add so much to make this closet space feel personal, intimate and extra stylish.

Even if you have a really small closet, you can add some of these same elements to make your closet feel special.
Hang a piece of artwork on one wall or add a framed photo or decorative accent on one of the shelves.

Buy a super chic chandelier from your local hardware store and hang it in the closet. Something with a little color will add a beautiful glow and enhance the atmosphere.

A super inexpensive decorative option is to frame shopping bags and hang a collection on the wall of the closet or even the inside of the door. I got several bags stashed for just for this purpose.

If you love a vintage vibe, you can also hang a grouping of vintage fashion prints. You can find lots of these for download online or via Etsy.

Since I don’t have a lot of open space in my closet, I’ve chosen to hang a clipboards on the wall and use that for art and inspiration. I hang pictures of outfits I love or ideas for pairing different pieces together.
If you have a large wall space I love the idea of hanging multiple clipboards for inspiration photos and using them to hold the jewelry you’d wear with a particular outfit.

Another great idea that melds function and style is to hang a few open frames on the wall and store your jewelry on hooks within the frame. Your jewelry will serve as visual art and creative storage.

There really are a lot of different ways you can dress up your closet and put your personality on display. If you like the idea of framed art, I’ve rounded up a few prints from Etsy that I think are perfect for a closet space or bathroom. And you’ll get you’ll get a dose of inspiration each morning when you get dressed.
