Looking for inspiration on how to design and organize your master bedroom closet? Check out how we designed our small master bedroom closet for maximum functionality and organization. This Master Closet Makeover shows you can still keep an organized home with small spaces!
When we were house hunting this summer, we fell in love with our “new” to us home. There were so many great features in this home and a few things were weren’t thrilled about but knew we could change. The master closet was one of those features we weren’t crazy about. The closet is a walk in, but is an odd triangular shape that is fairly small. The closet also only had one rod that ran across the closet.
So much wasted space! Needless to say we filled the closet up quickly and still had boxes stacked up in our bedroom. After living this way for a few months, our brother in law took pity on us and came to help us with our master closet makeover. We ran through a few design options and then got to work. A few important features for me were lots of shelving to hold various t-shirts, sweaters, out of season clothes, shoes, boots, jewelry and bags. We also wanted double rods to maximize the square footage. Because this closet receives NO natural light, I wanted to paint it a bright clean color and ended up choosing polar bear by Behr. Here are a few before and afters.

We have several baskets at the top of our closet that are currently empty but ready for extra storage when needed. 
We have several baskets at the top of our closet that are currently empty but ready for extra storage when needed. I love how everything has a place. We were able to repurpose these baskets to organize my t-shirts, tank tops, etc.
Keeping things functional and pretty!
One great tip for making a closet look fabulous is to use matching hangers. It seemed to add some cohesion to the space. I’ve also bought more baskets to run the length of the very top surround shelf. The few in the photos were from Marshalls and I couldn’t find anymore so I switched to a few different styles I’ll link below if your interested in checking them out. I like the fabric baskets because they don’t leave marks on my newly primed and painted shelves like the wicker baskets I already owned.*affiliate links

What a transformation! Great use of space. It’s amazing how you went from having boxes stacked in your bedroom to having extra room with baskets and shelves. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🙂

I love this! It’s amazing to me how it looks so much brighter and cleaner after you painted it, even the carpet looks cleaner. What a great way to maximize your space and stay organized!
I love this! Our closet desperately needs a makeover! I agree with Connie- it looks so bright in there!
Wow, WOW! What a huge difference! Excellent use of the space – the shelves, double rods, the baskets – Love it all!
It looks so much better now! Love the baskets! I bought some for my closet a couple months ago, now I just need to tackle the space!
WOW – this turned out great! Definitely need to do this to my own closet. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’ve been going pin crazy over your blog! Our offer was just accepted on our forever home and we are definitely going to be having the same problem that you had with your closet. Do you have any idea what the total for materials ended up being? I dream of having matching hangers one day. I am 99% sure I have a few from college (1998!) in there now!
That is so exciting Christina, Congrats! Our total cost for materials was about $400, give or take some paint supplies. 🙂 Hope that helps!
