Designing a Closet to Become an Extension of your Master Bedroom

May 4, 2018

California Closets in Home Consultation Orlando

Thank you California Closets for sponsoring this post.

There’s a space in your home you may or may not be paying attention to. I’m talking about your master bedroom closet. Too often we create a relaxing and calm space in the master bedroom but stop there. Just last week we shared that we’re finally starting to focus on our master bedroom which is when I quickly realized our closet needed a desperate overhaul. I’m here today to show you how your closet can be maximized and also become an extension of your bedroom.

So, what did we do? We partnered with California Closets located in Winter Park, FL for a complimentary consultation to see what our options are for giving our closet the attention it finally deserves. It’s easier than you may think because the expert design consultant comes to your home for an in-home visit! The morning of my consultation, I had the pleasure of working with design expert, Dara. I grabbed a cup of coffee and she started helping me design a closet that I never knew was even possible in our home.

I’ll be honest, I truly didn’t know what to expect from this collaboration between homeowner and designer, so I’d love to share my experience with you just in case you’re thinking about doing the same. We took a look at the master bedroom closet by taking inventory of what was currently in there, what would be taken out, and most importantly discussing our needs and wants for the closet space. Which wasn’t too much! We wanted organization, to maximize the space, an area to hide laundry until laundry day, a design pleasing to the eye, and a place that creates joy rather than chaos during the early morning rush to get ready.

As I went to go pour another cup of coffee, Dara measured our closet space to start our custom design. And yes, the design process happens during the consultation as well which was amazing to see. The technology used and the knowledge of the design consultant made this all possible in just under an hour.

As Dara started entering the measurements of our closet, I looked through over 20 finishes for our closet structure. It was easier than what I expected when finalizing colors. I went with a timeless look by picking out a classic white, aluminum matte hardware, and a gorgeous linen textured front for the drawers and hamper door.

When my design was finally revealed, I realized I was gaining space for all the items in my closest while also gaining closet space to move around in. Our closet was certainly being maximized and utilized to it’s fullest. Who even knew that was possible! The 3-D model that was presented of our master bedroom closet made me feel like I was looking at a completely different space. This was my first experience with California Closets, let alone my first time ever of getting rid of the wire shelving. Needless to say, I was impressed with our closet design. 

The 3-D model, measurements of the new closet, and the finishes were all emailed to me within an hour after the conclusion of the consultation. This allowed me to dive deeper into the plans, review everything we designed, and discuss any possible changes with Ryan. You’re probably wondering what my closet and my custom design look like. I’d love to share with you! Here’s my current closet along with the 3-D design.

What did I learn from this consultation where we created a custom crafted space? That joy can also be found in a closet with a design that meets our needs and having it reflect our personal style. It was also beneficial to have this consultation in-home because we were able to make changes on the spot. Especially if that meant making small changes here and there so that the design would fit within our budget. To help with this, Dara had several images of spaces previously designed and installed by California Closets so I could look through examples. Being the visual person that I am, this was so important for me!

The in-home consultation was truly a great experience. I didn’t have to worry about the measurements not working because exact measurements were taken. Therefore, I knew everything would fit perfectly. As Dara said goodbye, I was already making changes to my current closet after learning a few of Marie Kondo’s tips and tricks to getting organized. Some of the tips Dara mentioned included using all the same hangers, hanging by color, and hanging by length of clothing (shirts, skirts, dresses) so it goes shortest to longest. 

If you’re wanting to extend your master bedroom by creating an inviting and organized space in your master bedroom closet, there really isn’t anything stopping you from scheduling your very own free in-home consultation! If you’re ready now or if it’s something you want to do in the future, you’ll at least know your design options for when the time comes. Here’s a video that shows you a little more of the process and how a closet can spark joy:

Keep in mind that there are many locations that offer seasonal promotions and even financing options. All you have to do is contact your local California Closets to ask any questions or schedule your free consultation. These design consultations aren’t limited to just closets. They can be for just about every room in your home when it comes to organizing your garage, mudroom, laundry room, home office, pantry, and craft room. 

With this being my first time focusing on my master bedroom closet (or really any closet), I’m truly wondering why I didn’t do this sooner. There is so much potential within this space that will help create a calm start to each and every day. Which is exactly what I need as a mom that also works from home. 

I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Let’s keep in touch!

This pretty much sums up the progress of making 25 This pretty much sums up the progress of making 250 cement tiles. But I’m halfway through! The moment I finish the last tile is the moment I knock out the old tile. Let’s do this!
Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to make my own cement tiles for our outdoor front door area. Mainly because of what I’m saving vs buying them. Won’t be saving much on time but I’M MAKING TILES! Never thought I’d hear myself say that. Make sure to follow along because if this works out, I have a feeling a lot of you are already eyeing a spot in your home to try your own DIY cement tiles. 
 
Thank you @vintagerevivals and @abby_roadhome for showing it’s possible with your gorgeous bathroom tiles!

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
