Walk-in Closet and Laundry

I’m loving this cute ironing board. What a great way to slide it into the hanging clothes instead of using up valuable wall space. Love it!

I also love this closet. I like the white. It is so fresh and bright. Instead of the cabinet doors on the top, I’d just have open storage. Great storage space for Luggage, linens, winter bedding, etc. Stuff you don’t want to store in the basement.

I haven’t found many inspiration images for master closet with laundry. It makes perfect sense in my mind but it must not be the thing. If you know of any good images of laundry-master closet rooms, leave me a comment!

Closet Design and Planning

On the second floor of the house, there is a good sized bedroom which will be the master.  To the left is a bathroom and to the left of the bathroom is another smaller bedroom.  The plan is to make the bathroom into a half bath and a full master bath with jack and jill pocket doors to the master bedroom and this smaller bedroom which will become my Closet and Laundry room!  It’s going to be awesome!  I’ve started thinking about how to do the closet and I have tons of ideas.

Something like this is quite obtainable though I think it needs some decorative molding at the top to really finish it off. I love the shelves for the shoes.  I’m not a big fan of standard shoe-shelves with the angle, they aren’t good for sandals which are obviously a shoe staple!

Similar to this one, my mother’s closet has a shelf all the way around the top of the room and it is fabulous. She says it is the best feature of the house. All the luggage, off season comforters, blankets, extra pillows, all stay dust-free, dry. Another great feature is a peninsula of hanging clothes. It juts out into the room with a full-size mirror on the end. 4 feet long and about 3 feet wide it houses approximately 16 feet of hanging storage. That’s amazing!

There are a few other things I’m looking into. One is a pant hanger. Stefan (my husband!) has a tendency to just drape his pants around instead of putting them up on hangers. I was thinking that perhaps something like this to feed into that habit and make it productive would be a good option.

Since this is going to be a laundry room and master closet, I’ve gathered inspiration on functional laundry rooms as well. After reading steam generator iron reviews I decided that’s the iron I need for my laundry room.

This image spoke to me with the drying space for hanging clothes mimicking my plan for a joint laundry/closet. I love the shelves just the right size for laundry baskets and the stripes on the wall break up the built-ins well. I’m thinking perhaps a tone-on-tone stencil or stripe would be a great option for any exposed walls in the closet. Something to make it romantic enough to be a part of the master suite.

I need to get a scale-sketch done this weekend and start thinking about how to design/make/buy this dream closet, not only that but I also need to start getting in contact with interior designers Hertfordshire to help me plan other areas of my home
