It has been a few years since I did a tour of my London flat but you may recall that it is very uncommon for apartments or houses in the UK to have built in closets. My first flat came furnished but when we moved in to this one, closet solutions were top of mind. You can see some photos here but in both our living room and bedroom Mark kindly built me custom closets from the Ikea Pax Wardrobe system.
We decided on closet doors for ours (and huge mirrors for our room) but it seems it is more common to create a gorgeous open closet. After two and a half years I am really happy with how ours came out and have held up. This is not a sponsored post (though hi, Ikea, I am here!) but I wanted to share. You can see some great examples on IKEA site but real life pictures always better (plus better clothes and shoes). Take a look:

As you can see, there are so many options with the Ikea Pax Wardrobe and I love how you can really customize them to your space. For the next closet we build (hopefully a whole room) I would strongly consider using them again!

Forget the closet I want the purse and sneaker selections in the last closet.

Ok seriously I would kill for any of these. I usually walk into my closet and go UGH!!! It is not well let nor well organized nor truth be told big enough.
This just might give me the kick in the butt I need to do something about it. I thiink if I can do a better job storing everrything then I can get more organized and maybe fit it all in a bit better.
I certainly can get some more lighting in some how in the meantime.

Every home should come with these kind of shelves/closet soultions. I just finished having built one side of our bedroom and guestroom for our apartment. I love displaying my lovely shoes and easy access to my favorite dresses. Eventually when I buy a home I will have a bigger one.

I want to mix and match the best of these closets… the necklaces in the : Lifestyle by Anna Elizabeth closet is awesome so that they all are displayed perfectly and you can see the length for what you are looking for and then they don’t get tangled.
I also really liked the purse and shoe display in the Alejandra Betancur (@a.bluxlvr) closet.
The Adrianna Home & Lifestyle (@marbleandmoree) closet has the great drawer for the watches that I really like too.
Great options.

THis might be the Christmas gift to my husband and myself. I get so sick of rummaging around my closet looking or things and wishing everything was organized a bit better and easier to see.
Will spend some time on this, do you have a favorite desigh?
