There are some things that a fashion maven just wants. One of those things is a Boutique style closet space with a dressing area. Here’s how I created mine.
Step One: Gotta Have Racks!
I took a trip to my local big box store and found some adjustable double rod racks. The ones that I purchased reminded me of the put away racks at Macy’s and they have a great extension on the ends for accessories like scarves.
(Quick tip: Never hang your bags, store them on a shelf, it saves the handles.)
Step Two: Have a Seat!
As much fun a beautiful wing back chair may be to have in this space, you need to get a good short bench. Think about the ones that are in the shoe store, then make it fabulous. The bench should fit your behind and your most involved pair of shoes so shop to scale.
Step Three: NO WIRE HANGERS!
No matter where you are constructing this clothing oasis, nothing creates more issues than a bunch of miss-matched hangers. Velvet hangers are the key to adding that extra special touch. Why? First of all they grip even you most strappy and slippery garments and keep them off the floor. The new wave of them are also excellent space savers. The hangers from the dry cleaners should be recycled, just take them back to the store once you’ve put away your clothes or bring them with your next load.
Step Four: Shirts High, Pants, Low!
Nothing helps you cut your dressing time in half like having everything in its proper place. I’ve noticed that since I can see my clothes I feel much more put together, than thrown together.
This closet system works for both male and female clothing. I considered posting a picture of my system, but I’d like for you to draw from your own imagination and create something beautiful. If you find yourself stumped email me at marellewrites@gmail.com and I will send you pictures of what I decided to do.
ENJOY!
