Master Closet Mood Board
/Master Closet Mood Board
You may not think that you need an entire design scheme for a master closet. But you'd be wrong.
Just kidding! To each his own. BUT on that note… we built my master closet with the intent that it would be like its own little room inside of our bedroom. My goal is to use that space to get dressed in the morning without waking Lucius up by turning on a light or trying to get ready by fumbling around in the dark.
And yes, you read that right, MY master closet. Lucius has his own (much smaller and much less exciting) closet.
So of course, since I have this little space that is truly all my own, I'm going all out and REALLY making it my own. Which is why I created a mood board to plan out the entire design of my closet. (Also, I love mood boards.)
So while mine may not be quite at the level as some of the spaces I've been fawning over, it'll be perfect for me. Here are my plans.
Accent Wall

I decided to put an accent wall in my closet because, why not? And I'm head over heels in love with it! The best part was that I didn't have to run the idea past anyone else before diving right in. A tutorial is coming soon!
Storage
I really wanted to install floor-to-ceiling storage on either side of my closet like many of my inspiration pictures, but because of our roofline, the left side wall of my closet slopes in about 3/4 of the way up.
My new plan is to install an IKEA PAX system on the right-hand side of the closet and build it in to really look seamless. It won't be exactly like this example, but it'll be similar.
On the left-hand side of the closet, I plan on buying a white IKEA MALM dresser and putting a hanging rod above it.
With this layout, I should have more than enough storage and I think it'll make the best use of the space.
Paint
Because I want to build in the PAX system, and it already comes in white, I'm going to try to match the white as closely as possible and paint all the walls the same color.
Flooring
At this point, we've installed the flooring in the bedroom and carried it into the closets. It.is.beautiful! It's a gorgeously rich mid-tone that really grounds the space.
Rugs
But to make my closet really cozy, I've been researching runners like a madwoman. I mean, who wants to walk on a cold floor first thing in the morning? C'mon! I've narrowed it down to two runners.
I included this Chris Loves Julia x Loloi runner in my master bathroom mood board and I still can't stop thinking about it. I can really see it working in my closet too. There is a possibility that I'll buy the same rug for both spaces, but there's another contender that might just make the cut in the closet.
This runner also looks beautiful in the mood board. I'm having a really tough time making a decision, so I might just have to see each of them in the space and go from there.
As an aside, it's surprised me that I've been gravitating towards rugs with more red tones in them. I don't hate red, but it's just never been the color I've been most drawn to. But it seems like ever since I bought our bedroom rug, which has a lot of rust and orange in it, my tastes may be starting to shift.
Mirror
Of course, any good closet needs a full-length mirror! There were several that I considered, like this one and this one, but I kept coming back the one above.
I really like the natural wood tone and the softness of the curves at the top. I think it has a feminine touch that will go nicely against the wallpaper and either runner option.
Lighting
For now, I'm keeping the light fixture in here pretty simple. I snagged several of these lights from Amazon for my closet, Lucius' closet, the laundry room, and the hallway. I really like the two-toned metal and the shape of the glass. Plus, they were crazy affordable! I may splurge and get something nicer for my fancy pants closet later on, but for now, it'll do just fine.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it - who knew you needed a mood board for a closet, eh? (I'm starting to think I can find any excuse to make a mood board though.)
I'm really looking forward to finishing up my closet and getting my clothes off my office floor. Yes, since I moved my old dresser to the dining room and turned it into a buffet table, my clothes have been living on the floor of my office.
If that's not motivation to finish the closet, I don't know what is!
