How do you transform your bedroom into a totally Instagram-worthy boudoir? Simple: Just follow every stylish girl’s lead and put together a cool open closet.
Don’t keep all those gorgeous clothes hidden away when you’ve spent your hard-earned greenbacks on them. While we wouldn’t necessarily consider SATC’s Carrie Bradshaw a role model, we tend to agree with her quote “I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet."
Besides, it’s so much easier to choose outfits every day when you have all your options in full view. Think of your clothing as works of art. Ready to get started? Your hip bedchamber is just one IKEA clothing rack away. If you’re a fan of the minimalistic look, the simple open clothing rack will be right up your design alley. It’s understated but should never be underrated. Here are some inspirational pics to get your creative juices flowing, along with someIKEA insider secrets.
Just think of it as a doorless cupboard. Removing the bulk of a traditional closet will also open up your area, and more space equals more room for clothes—bonus. That’s exactly how Holly Marder of Avenue Lifestyle felt when she installed an IKEA Mulig clothes rack in the bedroom of her 1920s row house. Since the renovation was done a tight budget, Marder chose to omit a closet in lieu of an open one. “I didn’t entertain the idea of a closed wardrobe for a single second,” she told MyDomaine. “I wanted an open closet from the getgo. I love seeing my clothes on display, and it was an added bonus that it was certainly a very cost effective choice too. Our bedroom isn’t very big, so a built-in wardrobe would have made a huge impact on the space we had left over. I also felt that an open, airy closet would suit the style of the house better with our white painted wooden floors and lovely windows.” We couldn’t agree more.
Marder used two Mulig clothing racks from IKEA, which sit underneath a long, wooden mounted shelf (which is held up by a few of IKEA’s Ekby Stilig white brackets). “I just really liked the simplicity of the Mulig clothing racks from other ones I had seen and was pretty excited they were just 8 euro each (that’s $10 U.S.),” she said. “We have one each—a his and hers—and on the shelves above, we have a basket each where we store out-of-season clothing. We also have a little antique cabinet which belonged to my husband’s grandmother, which we use to store folded clothes.” Genius.
This simple piece is the perfect accessory for a girl’s bedroom. Those sparkly, fluffy dresses and tulle ballet skirts deserve to be on display and this is exactly what Christine Dovey had in mind when she decorated this bedroom. “My daughter loves fashion and, when she was little, used to take outfits from her closet and hang all over her room,” she told MyDomaine. “When I designed this new space, I knew I wanted to maker her love of clothes part of the design. These open racks were the perfect solution and really let her sweet little ensembles take center stage.” We totally agree.
