As we mentioned in yesterday’s post (click here to read all the projects we’re tackling this year), our new closet is first on our to-do list. But before we start any project, we love to note our pain points, what’s working and what’s not, and start gathering inspiration.
So today, we wanted to walk you through what our current closet looks like (it’s smaller than our last closet!) and then take you over to our new closet and talk about a few of our plans and answer a few frequently asked questions like “Are the closet doors going to be glass?” and how we really feel about having the closet separate from the bathroom.
Ps. We’ll be sharing inspiration soon, but you can check out our previous Ikea PAX Ikea closet right here!
I actually hate the idea of a walk in closet being in my bathroom. When I look at house plans I look for the ones that show the master bathroom and walk in closet as 2 separate rooms. For me, I’d like that whole section to be a long suite: Master bedroom with sitting area, bathroom and WIC are next to each other but no door inbetween, the WIC leads to the laundry/mudroom which then leads to the garage which is off of the kitchen. I did want to say that your house is GORGEOUS! I love everything that you have done to it and all of your upcoming plans.
Love what this couple did with their closet. Great Ikea hack. Loved that color. https://erinkestenbaum.com/2018/12/12/hacking-the-ikea-pax-into-a-fully-custom-closet/
Your space is so much larger. Maybe something along the lines of what Martha Stewart did with hers. https://www.marthastewart.com/1526380/take-a-look-marthas-closet
Anyway you go, I’m going to be deeply envious!
Is it weird I think a closet in the bathroom is odd!? I worry about moisture getting in there. And before you even said it, I immediately thought huge upholstered ottoman. You will still have the benefit of having a place to lay things out, but give you more size flexibility. You can still put a bench under the window with closed storage underneath and maybe just a couple pillows. Like someone mentioned above, be careful of things that will get direct light.
Excited to see this humongo closet come together! Question, you mentioned doing double pocket doors – will you be adding them in later? Or do you mean barn/sliding doors on the bedroom side? Only wondering since the switch is there (and would need to be moved I’m guessing)
I don’t hear any voice in this video…?
If you’re wearing headphones or earbuds, there’s music in one side and voice in the other.
