22 Tiny Closet Ideas Walk In
I have a tiny closet. It’s like an itty bitty living space. It’s hard to keep all of my clothes and shoes in there.
I had to figure out a way to make my walk in closet work. I came up with some tiny closet ideas walk in and wanted to share them with you.
1. Add lighting to your tiny walk-in closet
If your walk-in closet is small, it might not have a window or space for a big overhead light. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t add lighting to your closet.
Consider adding a small light to your closet. You can use a light that sticks to the wall or ceiling, or you can add a light to the underside of a shelf or to the bottom of a clothing rack.
2. Use a mirror to your advantage
If you want to make your tiny closet feel bigger, a mirror is a great way to do that. Not only can it make the space feel larger, but it can also add a touch of elegance to the room.
We also love how the mirror in this closet is surrounded by a vanity. It’s the perfect spot to get ready in the morning, and it’s a great use of space in a small room.
3. Use a white color scheme
In a small closet, painting the walls and shelving a bright white can make the space feel bigger and more open. In this tiny walk-in closet, the white walls, white shelving, and white drawers create a cohesive and open space.
The light wood floor and black clothing hangers add a touch of contrast to the space. The result is a closet that feels open and airy, despite its small size.
4. Add a pop of color
Most of the time, we think of a closet as a place to store our clothes and accessories. But, who says it can’t be a place to show off your personality, too?
Using a bold color on the walls, like this sunny yellow, is an easy way to make your closet feel more like a room and less like a storage space.
Top it off with some chic lighting, a cozy rug, and a cute chair, and you’ve got a walk-in closet that’s fit for a queen.
5. Use clear containers
If you’re looking to organize your closet, you’re likely going to need some containers. Clear containers are great for closets because you can see what’s inside of them.
You can use them to store things like shoes, scarves, hats, and more. You could also use them to store things like out of season clothes, or clothes that you don’t wear very often.
6. Use a closet organization system
If you have a small walk-in closet, a closet organization system can help you get the most out of the space.
This closet, designed by @thecontainerstore, has a place for everything. The best part? It’s completely customizable, so you can create a closet that works for you and your budget.
7. Add a bookshelf
If you have a walk-in closet, adding a bookshelf to your space is an easy way to add storage and style. Use the shelves to store shoes, handbags, or even jewelry. Hang a mirror on the wall and add a rug to make the space feel like a dressing room.
If you have a larger closet, you can add more shelves to store clothes or shoes. You can also add a bench or ottoman to create a cozy seating area.
8. Use the back of the closet door
Maximizing space in a small closet is key. Use the back of the closet door to add more storage with hooks, a shoe rack or a hanging organizer.
This will help you keep the floor space clear and also make it easier to see everything you have.
9. Use a small dresser
If you have a little space in your closet, consider adding a small dresser. This can be a great way to store folded clothes, socks, and other accessories.
If you have a little more space, you could even add a small mirror to the top of the dresser to create a makeshift vanity.
10. Use a curtain to hide your closet
If you’re renting or just want to create a little separation between your bed and your closet, a curtain works perfectly.
This super affordable option is also a great way to hide your closet if you’re not a fan of clutter.
11. Use a clothing rack
If you have a little bit of space in your room, a clothing rack is a great way to make use of what you have.
Not only can you hang your favorite items on a rack, but it also acts as a piece of decor and can be a great way to show off some of your favorite pieces.
12. Use a small closet organizer
If you’re dealing with a small walk-in closet, a closet organizer can help you make the most of the space.
This closet from A Beautiful Mess uses a combination of hanging rods, shelves, and baskets to create a custom storage solution that fits their needs. Use the same approach to create a closet organizer that works for you.
13. Use a small shoe organizer
If you have a small closet, you may not have room for a lot of shoes. So, keep your collection to a minimum and use a small shoe organizer to keep them in order.
This is a great way to keep your shoes off the floor and out of the way, without taking up too much space. You can find small shoe organizers that will fit perfectly on a shelf or hang from a rod.
14. Use small hangers
Regular hangers take up a lot of space in a small closet. A simple solution is to use smaller hangers. These velvet hangers are not only space-saving but also non-slip, so your clothes will stay put.
15. Use a small laundry basket
When you have a small closet, you can’t just throw anything in there. You have to be strategic about what you keep in your closet and how you organize it.
One way to maximize space in a small closet is to use a small laundry basket. This will help you keep your dirty clothes off the floor and in one designated spot. Plus, a small laundry basket won’t take up too much space in your closet.
16. Use small storage containers
If you have a lot of shelving in your walk-in closet, it can be easy to let it get cluttered. Instead of just putting items on the shelves, use small storage containers to keep your items organized.
This is especially helpful for accessories like hats and scarves. You can use small baskets or bins to keep similar items together. That way, you know exactly where to look when you need to grab something on the go.
17. Use small jewelry organizers
If you have a small closet, you may not have a lot of space to put a jewelry armoire or box. Instead, use small jewelry organizers that can easily be hung up in your closet.
This is a great way to keep your jewelry organized and prevent it from getting tangled. Plus, it allows you to make the most of the vertical space in your closet.
18. Use small accessories
If you can’t fit all of your clothes and accessories in your tiny closet, it’s time to downsize. Keep only the accessories you’ll wear and love.
This will help you keep your closet organized and make sure it doesn’t get too cluttered. Plus, you can always add more accessories to your collection as you go.
19. Use small decor
If you’re working with a small space, it’s important to keep the decor you add to a minimum. However, you can still add small decor to your closet to make it feel more stylish.
In this walk-in closet, the homeowner added a small chair and a small rug to add some texture and pattern to the space. They also added a few pieces of wall art to make the space feel more like a room.
20. Use a small rug
Another way to add a pop of color to a small walk-in closet is by using a small rug. This is also a great way to add a fun pattern to the space.
Even though the rug in this closet is small, it still adds a lot of personality to the space. I love how they kept the rest of the closet pretty neutral and then added in this colorful rug. It’s the perfect way to add a little something extra to the space.
21. Use small curtains
If you have a small closet, you can use a curtain to hide your clothes.
This is a great option if you don’t have enough wall space to install sliding or bifold doors.
22. Use small plants
If you have a window, ledge or even a small side table in your closet, use the space to add a little greenery.
Not only do plants look great, but they can also help to clean the air in your closet.
Make sure to choose a plant that does well in low light, like a snake plant or a pothos.
