45 Stylish Minimalist Closet Design Ideas

stylish minimalist closet design ideas cover

Going to design a functional space? Pick minimalist style! Today I’m sharing my faves among minimalist closets – laconic, functional and clean. A closet is often a small space, so minimalist style will help you to use every inch of it and keep it uncluttered. White color is perfect for a closet: it visually expands the space and maximizes the light to see your outfits at their best. Add a lot of lights and lamps and a big wall mirror to save the space and not put it on the floor. You can go for grey or black shelves or dresser to create a contrast, or leave the closet in white to make it look more spacious. See how to do that in a stylish way below!

Colors

Minimalism is usually about monochrome, black and white, black and grey, grey and white and so on. Yet you may go for various shades of plywood, dark stained wood and so on – just don’t go colorful, this isn’t about minimalism.

Designs

Minimalism is usually about simple and laconic designs, and makeshift closets are number one for that. You can also go for various combos of open shelves, holders for hangers, dressers and ottomans that match and even boxes for storage. A mirror is always an important part of every closet, hang one on the wall or put it on the floor, and make sure that it’s full-height.

Lights

What you really need in every closet, especially if it is moody, is light. Build in as much light as you can everywhere you can, into storage units, over and under, to see your things at their best and to fill the space with light.
