You know, after years of designing interiors across Europe and beyond, I’ve learned something crucial: closets tell the real story of how a home functions. They’re not just places to toss your clothes—they’re architectural moments that can completely shift how you experience your entire space. When I start working with clients on custom closets, we’re really talking about designing a better daily life.
How I Approach Closet Systems as a Designer
Here’s what I always tell my clients: a truly exceptional closet system should feel inevitable, like it was always meant to be there. When I’m specifying storage solutions, I’m thinking about so much more than just fitting shelves into a space. Where will you stand when you’re getting dressed in the morning? How does the light fall at different times of day? Will you see into this space from your bed, and if so, what should that view feel like?
Our modular closet approach gives us incredible flexibility to respond to your home’s unique quirks—that awkward sloped ceiling, the beautiful original molding we want to preserve, or the fact that you have an extensive handbag collection that deserves proper display. Every wardrobe closet we design becomes a conversation between your architecture and your lifestyle.
I particularly love designing walk in closets because they’re really intimate spaces, aren’t they? They’re where your day begins and ends. The journey from your bedroom into that closet walk space should feel intentional and luxurious, not like stepping into a utilitarian storage room.
