| bringing jewelry cleverly displayed into the bedroom is an easy way to clean out the clutter in your closet |
Recently I was asked to put together a closet organizing story by one of the publications I work for.
As a home stylist I am noticing 3 specific trends in closet organization.
1. Showcasing clothes and shoes and accessories and jewelry in a collected and edited manner
2. Down sizing + smaller homes = less closet space & again more editing.
3. Deconstructed organization , what do I mean by that? Take a look at these photos you will see what I mean, essentially it's bringing a decorative approach to your stuff. Treating your things in a special and artistic way. Editing out the ordinary and highlighting the most loved and used items in your closet.

*recently on a episode of the Nate Berkus , Michelle Adams contributor from Lonny magazine pointed out that showcasing an edited collection of jewelery , shawls and scarves in your bedroom is a great way to use these pieces as decor as well as adding extra storage space in your bedroom from your closet.

The truth is that in Europe people have been using their bedrooms as their closets for centuries. In fact most homes in Europe do not even have closets, so clever solutions have been put in place in the bedroom forever. Taking a lesson from Europe just might be a lifesaver for your over crowed master bedroom closet. So move some of your closet into your bedroom.
Needless to say the magazine I pitched this idea to passed. So what the heck, I am posting it here for you today. Look at your bedroom and your closet and see if you can use your bedroom as extra storage, the move might just bring a new decor dimension as well as a much needed clean up to your closet.
After all finding extra closet space might just be right in front of you, no renovation required.

| btw, this is what started me thinking about clever extra closet space...Rue Magazine featured "sea of shoes" blogger's bedroom |
Clever ideas!! The closest I've come to this concept is having a large armoire in my bedroom where we house the overflow of sweaters and bulky items. I already have enough items out and about though, so I need to keep all these extras behind closed doors!!
ReplyDeleteIf you have too much stuff out I suggest an edit! If you notice I used the word edit about 20 times in this post
ReplyDeleteIt's about parting with things u don't absolutely adore!
This makes for a clean and decorative well appointed display every time ;)
I absolutely love this post! My husband and I have a small wardrobe for each season, and those items seem to always be in the bedroom and never in the closet. The closet houses last seasons items,...its like a storage unit. So, we have decided to knock down the wall that divides the room from the walk in closet and make the room larger. I have been pondering ideas about how to "display" our shoes and clothing, and well,...you have seriously inspired me to do something oh so creative. Thank you!!!
