Before you remodel or buy furniture, decide on your wardrobe style. Have a definite one chosen and stick to it, to make sure your wardrobe looks cohesive.

Once you’re set on the basics of your walk-in closet, it’s time to have a look at inspiration.

The focal point of this dream wardrobe is the island counter — a perfect spot to drop your clothes and accessories.

Did you know? Having an island means extra storage space, so you don’t have to worry about creating clutter.
You can also add trays or boxes to the island for smaller items — jewellery, keys, and even pocket change.

An ottoman is a perfect solution to having a dressing room you’ll enjoy using.
