The Design Plan – Week 2

Time is flying by, it’s already week 2 of the Fall One Room Challenge. This week we bring you the design plan behind this closet reno.

To see what we did in the past week follow this link!

Week 1 – Week 2 – Week 3 & Week 4

We’ll be honest, this time around we are just rolling with the punches. It’s not like last season’s challenge where we had a thorough, thought-out plan to work with. Since this is the second part of that master bath remodel and we were pretty much happy with just having a regular-shaped closet we didn’t put too much stress into this process.

The Design Plan

So without further ado here is our plan and mood board for this space:

After deciding what our closet needs are, we decided to divide the spaces. My dear Marido (husband) would get one wall (the smallest of course) and I would get the other wall. In my defense, he volunteered to have the smallest wall, that’s how much he loves me.

On said walls, we both needed hanging space for blouses and shirts as well as shelves for shoes, t-shirts, and pants. Also within that space, we need to incorporate our hamper for dirty clothes. The plan is to get different modular hanging closet systems that fit our needs. We will also upgrade them with minor changes such as drawer pulls for example.

Any leftover space will be for extra storage. That way we can easily store other items and accessories like purses, bags, scarves, etc.

Week Update

So this week we installed the baseboards in the closet and we went through all our clothes and did a second round of purging. With that in mind we proceeded inside the closet to tape down an outline of the closet systems to see how much space we had available to play with.

We then proceeded to order the light fixture and closet systems that we are planning to use for the space, so hopefully they will make it in time for us to keep working along in a timely manner.

And with that, basically we’re all set! Seems pretty easy and straightforward, but it will mean a world of a difference for our storage needs. And it will get us one step closer to that dream master space we so desire.

Any tips for maximizing small closets? Share them in the comments, we will take any advice we can get. Check back next week to see our progress!
