How to Increase Storage Space in Your Master Bedroom Closet

Dave Kushner • Feb 25, 2020

Your master bedroom closet plays a crucial role in maintaining an atmosphere of peaceful retreat in your suite or bedroom. Having ample space in your bedroom closet is an important, yet sometimes overlooked issue when purchasing a home. Often, you don’t realize how much space you need until you’ve moved in.

Thankfully, custom closets can more than double your closet space and make life simpler in the process. Whether the master bedroom closet in your South Florida home is new or simply in need of updating, there are tried-and-true options to increase storage space and create a functional closet to suit individual needs. If you are struggling to keep your master bedroom closet organized and user-friendly, we’ve got the solutions you need!

Double Your Hanging Space

To make the best use of vertical space in your closet, we recommend using double-hung rods. Expanding the closet space this way is a simple and effective problem solver. You can hang your tops on the top rod and your pants or skirts on the bottom rod, or you might choose to hang your separates on one rod and your spouse’s or partner’s on the other.

Double closet rods aren’t an option that can’t be modified, by the way. Depending on the height of your closet, it’s even possible to hang triple-hung rods or, if you tend to have a lot of dresses, suits, and pants that you hang by their hems, we can install a rod at chest-level to open up space above it.

Make Room for Your Shoes

When creating more space in your master bedroom closet, the shoe racks should not be overlooked. If you find yourself all too often with one shoe in hand, searching the closet for a missing match, you might have a closet organization problem. In addition, if your shoes are spilling onto the floor, you are likely stepping on and tripping over your shoes. There’s a simple solution!.

Shoe racks come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your closet space. Shoe rack designs can even be created to look like furniture. Shoes can be placed in individual cubbies or on shelves nestled within the master closet design. If your shoe collection is getting out of hand, organizing the shoe space can take your closet storage to a whole new level.

Having easy access to the shoes you use regularly can save a lot of time in your busy life. Keep your footwear in check with space-saving shoe racks designed to mesh perfectly within your master bedroom closet.

Don’t Forget About the Space Overhead

Overhead storage options are a lifesaver when it comes to finding additional space in your master bedroom closet. While eight-foot ceilings were once the norm, many newer homes are sporting the new standard of nine- to ten-foot ceilings. This trend offers a windfall of open space for organizing the master closet! Furthermore, there are many options to help you make the most of this space in the form of pull-downs, step-ups, and shepherd’s hooks.

Some of your belongings taking up space in your closet might include items that aren’t used often yet need to remain readily available. Overhead shelving can be a perfect place for these items. You’ll want to consider how often you reach for each item when deciding what goes into this area, and you might decide to add a small step for simpler accessibility.

Consider Adding Luxurious Extras

An elegant and polished look can be provided by adding an island or cabinets within your large walk-in closet. Not only does it add additional storage but these pieces create a refined, organized space where you can easily access your wardrobe. Planning for a week or a month is a cinch when everything you need is at hand in your luxurious center island cabinet. From the basics to accessories, your new island can help you achieve that completely-pulled together look in less time. This type of custom built-in is the perfect way to showcase your accessories, to add in extra storage, or even to create a docking station for your electronics.

Use Pull-Out Components

The value of using pull-out closet components should not be overlooked. These hidden gems can offer storage space in all-new ways.

A valet rod is an excellent option for laying out clothing and planning or packing. This component is a terrific space-saving storage option. It allows you to easily hang out several items of clothing and handles a substantial amount of weight.
The pull-out mirror slides into a narrow space within the wall or shelving so that no valuable storage space is wasted. It stays hidden until it’s time for you to check the finished product and makes for an easy solution when quickly pulling yourself together to get out the door. This hidden gem remains neatly tucked out of the way until needed.
A pull-out hamper in your master bedroom closet keeps those dirty clothes off the floor or from finding their way onto some other surface space where they don’t need to be. This simple addition acts much like a drawer, hidden away in the closet for dirty clothes. The pull-out hamper integrates seamlessly within your closet system to maximize design and functionality.
