5 Tips for a Fabulous New Year – Tip 5 – Take Your Closet from Ordinary to Extraordinary

Closets. The place where you shove, hide, store and so much more! I used to get a chill down my spine thinking about what was behind that closed closet door. A few years ago, I changed my perspective on closets. They don’t have to be the dumping ground for everything in your house, instead they can be the hidden gem of your home! You can take your closet from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY with a few simple tips!

This is the last tip in my 5 Tips for a Fabulous New Year series – make your closet extraordinary. I’ve linked the other tips at the end of this post in case you missed them.

I have a simple philosophy when it comes to my home. Make every space a place I want to be! By making ordinary spaces in your home extraordinary, you will have a more positive outlook on daily tasks and will love being in your home more. I tell you this because it is true!!! You won’t hate doing laundry when you have a beautiful laundry room to do your laundry in. You can see my simple laundry room makeover here…


Your closet is no different. Make it fabulous and you will enjoy putting laundry away a little more! Follow these 3 simple tips and you won’t dread walking into your closet anymore, you’ll LOVE it…

Every closet has functional items that must be included in order for it to work for you. Instead of buying pieces that are just functional, choose pieces for your closet that are functional AND beautiful!

  • Select a dressing mirror that matches your style. You can find awesome ones out there! I’ve sourced a few of my favorite for you below {this post contains affiliate links for your convenience}. If you don’t have wall space for a mirror in your closet, hang one on the back of your closet door.

  • Use a hamper that works for your space but isn’t an eye sore! A few years ago, I invested in some hampers on wheels. My mom and I made ruffled liners to put inside. Doing laundry is SO much easier now! I don’t have to carry my hamper to the laundry room on the other side of the house, instead I simply wheel it over there. The ruffled liner, well you know how I feel about ruffles, everything is better with them! If you’re not a ruffle fan, find yourself a hamper that makes your heart happy!

Here are a few rolling hampers that I love…

  • Hang your clothes with all the same type of hanger. Use all plastic (one color), metal, felt, wood, whatever the material, stick to just one! This will give your closet a cohesive, organized look.

  • We all have pieces that have to go to the cleaners. Instead of shoving them into a corner or stuffing them into some unsightly bag, store those delicates in a classy laundry bag that you can grab when you run out the door. The key is for it to look great and work great!


  • Add a few touches to your closet to give it a cozy feeling. I love walking into my closet to feel a soft rug under my feet.

  • Find a fabulous chair or ottoman, depending on your available space, to use when putting on your shoes. These little touches will give your closet a cozy, welcoming feel.


  • Lights and accessories are the jewelry to every space. Replace that builders grade light with a mini chandelier or a full sized one, if you’ve got the space!

  • If you have drawers in your closet, replace them with ones that fit your taste. Since I love sparkle, I used these glass knobs to add some pizzaz to my drawers. Brass is all the rage right now, so if sparkle isn’t your thing, try adding some trendy brass knobs or pulls to your drawers. If you don’t have drawers in your closet, you may want to look for a small dresser and replace the knobs on it for some fun!

  • Finally, organize your jewelry by hanging knobs on a small wall in your closet. I simply glued mine up with a glue gun! Just make sure you don’t put too much weight on the knobs and they will stay put! You can find the ones I used here.
