The Organized Life, What Would Your Dream Closet Look Like?

Have you ever dreamed of a bigger and better closet?

Decorated with drama and a chair for lounging…        source

Do you dream of a fantasy space with a blinged out chandy, a fireplace and a fabulous rug?        source

Sigh…it is fun to dream…

I am currently using The Mermaid Room, a guest bedroom,  as my “dream closet” when I’m at the beach house…

It has everything a fantasy closet should have!

It has a lovely poofy place to lounge

A comfy chair for reading and relaxing

Concealed storage

A big clock to keep me from lingering too long  😴

A mirror and a shelf for primping

Sort of a mini vanity for pretties or make-up  💄

There’s a desk

With storage shelves for necessities

Baskets hung on the wall tucked into the corner, handy for smaller items, and a luggage rack to hold tote bags

Oh and clothes! Of course!  This is really the dreamy part because everything in this closet is a favorite~

Isn’t that the ultimate closet fantasy, a closet full of clothes you love, that fit perfectly and that you want to wear?

This where I hang the favorite part of my wardrobe, long dresses for lounging and parties and sundresses for daytime~

so cool and comfortable for hot summer days

There’s another closet in the master bath, but it’s not very big…so I sorta spread out a little…

In an effort to be fair I let HH keep his Dewalt drill stuff on the shelf  😊

This is a great place to hang hand washables for drying too~ the ceiling fan takes care of it in no time

Bursting with color this space is like a happy zone~

Now maybe this doesn’t qualify as an actual luxury closet but it is certainly a luxury to me!

Although, I would love to have a salmon pink sliding barn door hiding a flat screen TV and a wine fridge   source

But then I would never leave  😘

Here some more ideas you just might be able to use, a little more practical and affordable than a zebra skin rug and a crystal chandy …

Even if you can’t put this in your closet all you need is an outlet and some wall space   source

How about this chic upgrade to your closet doors?  See this cool tutorial here

Add pizzazz with paint or wallpaper and some drama with black, white and gold like Marty did at A Stroll Thru Life

Use art and some favorite things to add color and personality to your private spaces like my friend Ellen did at Scribbler Unfocused

Oh and here’s the really good news! Did you know there’s an app for organizing your closet?  It’s called Stylebook

You can plan outfits, packing, mix and match, keep track of what you have, right on you iPhone or iPad!

Maybe we don’t need a luxury closet after all!      But it sure is fun to dream…   💤
