10 Tips for a FUNCTIONAL Walk-In Closet or Dressing Room

[@BodaciousBeverly]

My mom recently showed me a great trick in her walk-in closet. Just inside the door she has a very small table with a tray and basket on it. As soon as she goes into her closet each day, she dumps her purse into the basket. She takes a moment to remove things to the tray that don't need to go back into a purse. The next day she can select any of her 50+ purses and place the important contents in, straight from the basket. I've incorporated this technique now. I use a lot more of my purses now since I have a central organizing area for them. Oh, and there is a small waste basket under the table for used tissues or unneeded cards or receipts. This system has really helped me.

Love this idea! Thanks!

[@dawnochs2018]

Great idea!

My first step is to have a walk in closet and or dressing room lol .....you have the most beautiful dressing room Shea 💕

[@SheaWhitney]

Awe thank you so much!!!

[@alimaalikhan]

A few years ago, I did exactly what you suggested. The seldom- used guest room on the other side of my bedroom wall was a too valuable piece of real estate to utilize every few years. I designed my dream dressing room. The only difference from yours is that there are doors on the portions holding my clothing as I hated things getting dusty that are seldom worn. I added a wine fridge for my precious vintage perfumes as fragrance collection is a passion of mine. I must, must get one of those LG steamers! 😍

[@ShellTay32]

SO cool. We have 2 totally unused bedrooms but my hubby just thinks I am nuts to want to make a whole dressing room in one. =)

[@alimaalikhan]

ShellTay32 it’s not nuts at all! I love my closet. Point out to him that he will have your former closet all to himself now. It can be his man cave. 😆

[@mcd5478]

Yaaaas!! That’s exactly what I planned to do in 2020 with a guest bedroom that is virtually never used! Glad it’s working for you! 💗👍🏼

[@Catherine3385]

I have a small closet, but between shelving, bins, hooks, good lighting and organization I really enjoy it. (One of the best additions was the pull out rod to hang outfit of the day or to air out a lightly worn clothing before putting back) You are right about enjoying your closet. When I revamped it, I donated so many things and now I just have what I really love

[@shannonfilialunae1359]

don’t have a walk in closet but still watching because love Shea

[@natyvas17]

Me too🤣

[@watermelongal5512]

OMG I wish I had a room dedicated to only clothes! I love the LG styler clothing system! It's amazing! I always organized by color in each category like short sleeves, long sleeves, and sweaters. Every year around spring time is when I start going through my clothes to see what I love and don't love anymore and donate it. Thank you for your ideas Shea!

[@smetbj]

I’d been debating on finishing off my unfinished attic space to convert to a closet for years. I finally pulled the trigger 2 months ago and have done everything myself 💪🏼 but what really inspired me to move forward is seeing your closet regularly! It’s such a dream 🥰 Hoping mine is complete in the next month!!

[@LynetteYoung]

I would absolutely use the clothing styler every day! I'm starting to think about designs for my walk-in, and I bet I have room for this! I never knew something like this even existed! Thanks Shea!!

[@ShellTay32]

I know! I did my closet in 2016 with California Closets. I wish I knew about this thing! Have fun designing your new space!

[@LeilaLamb]

Lynette Young I too have room for this, but my kids would be sleeping in the garden!

[@elena0928]

Can we appreciate the quality of this video? also you definitely have an amazing closet!!!

[@SheaWhitney]

Wow thank you SO much!!

[@fashionablyfrancie5348]

Shea Whitney, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CLOSET. Is this a separate room made into a dressing room/ closet or is it an extension of your bedroom?? I am thinking of doing this with my guest bedroom as I have another guest bedroom I can use if needed.

[@janicerice8810]

Good tips, even for small closets. I bought mirrored doors, so that took care of the full length mirror, and I have a chair just outside the closet for sitting when I need to. I bought a rack for shoes, baskets and bins, a jewellery organizer etc. And these all have improved the function of my closet. I am working on purging and have bought less clothes this year because of your many tips. I am still a work in progress, so keep encouraging us with your great videos

[@AHeatedMess]

That LG Styler system is like my mini skincare fridge on steroids 💪🏼

[@SheaWhitney]

Hahaha so true!!

[@flovd2581]

It's $1500😪😪😪

[@angelafrith2667]

The reviews aren’t great. Shea likes it but I think I would not use it after the first month or so. Also it would go in my laundry room not my dressing room.

[@pearlbuchanek5588]

I loved this video Shea I hope it’s ok to mention that lately that you have been attempting more humour, but I prefer this style so much more. Sending you love from a hot summer in Melbourne, Australia.

[@nencyhernandez8850]

Pearl Buchanek totally agree I feel the same way !! I wasn’t sure how to comment your exact thoughts without sounding mean cause I love Shay not a fan of that um style..anyway lol thanks!

[@Blondee68]

Love that you take the time to share things like this with everyone. Its important to teach, balance, organisation, and over-all happiness for ones- self. It can be applied in all aspects of life. Not just a dressing room closet. =) Thanks Shea!!!!

[@emilyhennessey8294]

I'm obsessed with your closet. Mine is a small walk in, but I'll still listen to your tips. ♥️

[@SheaWhitney]

Thanks so much Emily!! :)

[@jayemb.6595]

This is a great video. I see a lot of comments below about people not having this size closet but that shouldn’t matter. My closet is just a normal walk in closet that I share with my husband but I have incorporated the majority of these suggestions. Organize by color/type. Have a place for a full length mirror and to hang outfit ideas for the day/week. Have good daytime lighting. I hang purses that I want to display from a simple hook on the wall, which doesn’t take a lot of room and still makes it look attractive. With a little creativity, most of these points can be applied to any size closet. Thanks again, Shea!

[@rebeccaquinsler]

The pony tail is so elegant and different! Love the look on you!!

[@goodingestions8752]

Have a tiny closet, not walk in, but organizing and lighting will help. Thanks for the great tips!!

[@beautyandherbooks]

This video was super helpful because I am redoing my closet right now. I will definitely have to implement some of these tips in my closet. Love you!

[@chandanederostek6206]

So I tell my husband I want the Shea necklace for Christmas. He buys me it but the conformation comes to my phone. I was so excited. Of course he was disappointed that I found out. The necklace came yesterday. He let me have it early. I must say to anyone on the fence.... this necklace is absolutely beautiful. I love it!! Shea...thank you for creating this wonderful necklace!

[@SheaWhitney]

Wowwww thank you so much for this comment!!!! It made my day!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@tabilittlefield1326]

I love being organized and I always appreciate this type of video! Thank you, Shea!

[@montrelz8197]

That's what I'm planning for 2020- investing in the organization of my closet 1st then go to other rooms to get them organized because its so overwhelming to think of it all at once so my closet is priority then I'll work from ther on becoming an organized person as a whole😀 Great tips!

[@glorianelson9538]

I have a small walking closet which I re did with shelving from the Container Store. I added the bright day lighting and it does make a huge difference. Organizing by colour saves time. Now, I can see everything and everything gets used. I loved the tips Shea, just sheer and plain organization whether you work with a large or a super small space like mine.

[@marylut6077]

Do you mean “walk-in” closet??

[@jamaljones5818]

Wow amazing. I’m not of the wealth you seem to be but I really admire and respect this room and video. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Very respectfully

[@laceybarton8130]

[@jerianderson3003]

Great tip on using the LG steamer. May I ask, Who did your closet? I love glass shelving.

[@Mondoshawn]

The closet looks like a beautiful store.

[@caitlinanne8492]

I love the lipstick/lipgloss you’re wearing! What is it? 😍

[@veronicadomenichiello1210]

What do you keep behind doors/drawers? Also! I love the way you display your shoes and handbags on open shelving. I’m an interior designer and clients tend to stay away from exposed shelves because they’re afraid everything will get dusty. Do you find you have to clean often for that reason?

[@missnobody9475]

I like exposed shelving because I won't remember what I have behind each drawer and I don't want to open up every dang drawer to find out. I can just look right at it. I experience mild dust in my well insulated home but if I left for a while it would be an issue over time. It just forces me to actually wear the items rather than sit and collect the dust like a museum piece.

[@louballvlogs]

Hi Shea! May I ask what is the brand of your closet system? It’s very beautiful!

[@randijohnson3806]

My husband is a regional airline pilot (he does NOT yet make what people think pilots make.... not even close....). I literally sent him a message a day ago saying the Styler was on our "someday" list!

[@AnotherStephJR]

Your shoes have a nicer bedroom than I do 😂😂😂

[@karenhinkle7992]

I have a small to mid medium walk in closet. There are two shelves from floor to ceiling in there and where I hang there is double top and bottom which two of them I don’t do bottom! I have been purging it because I do not work anymore, ladies retirement is not a bowl of cherries especially if your husband is around alot🤪🤪👎, anyway getting rid of so many clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry to my friends before going to a donation center. This has been quite a chore but liberating. I still have lots to do but it is so so worth it so when you go into ur closet things re not all scrunched together. Thank you Shea for all your tips and suggestions! Hugs 💜💜

[@pattycake5643]

I have a spare bed room in both houses, not even lying. I have thought of this alot. I don't really need the dryer steamer closet though. I love the smell of ironing cloths.

[@holybell000]

Omg. It's a huge autoclave for clothes. My mom would love like three of these.

[@angelab0ss]

Well done on an LG collaboration, your closet is gorgeous with fab organisation.

[@SheaWhitney]

Thank you so very much!!!

[@carolannnoble3981]

Beautiful! My walk-in is small but I can use several of your organizing suggestions. I especially liked the tip of a table and chair. I was blessed to find a vanity table w/bench and an armless chair at ReStore (Habitat for Humanity) for a total cost of $24!!!! I’ll paint them white (to match 2 IKEA PAX open wardrobes. And I’ll move in 2 IKEA Billy bookcases. The vanity table can double as a desk to jot notes for the day, etc. Thank you for inspiring me with a delightful winter project to bring more joy to my day!

[@kaseyk7405]

Omg. My house is 4600 sq ft and no, I can’t do this. At all. AT ALL.

Task #1.... I have to get my husband to build me my walk in closet that he promised me 2 years ago ,started it and never finished . Granted things came up and my space is no where near your space but you can always make any space big or small a lot more functional ! Thanks for the tips !

[@alana6806]

The styler needs its own 15 amp plug. It’s important to mention this for safety reasons. We got the full suite in our laundry room and it’s handy and sanitizes well, or even refresh clothes between seasons.

[@Sketchbook9999]

I'm watching this in silent mode as all my fam r asleep. Brilliant- cool. Love the chaise lounge - fabrics- space

[@mkp08706]

I have a walk-in closet, definitely not this large, probably a 10’x 10’ room converted. I have a pretty big round tufted teal suede storage ottoman from HomeGoods and it was an amazing purchase. It is awesome and has shoe pockets going around the interior. I use it to hold my flip flops and flat sandals, it helps store them in the winter and helps keep them all together for the summer.

[@silviasauc8570]

Wonderful tips, thanks, and the LG Styler System is great!

[@inesm4307]

I organise it by purpose, season and type . 1st Work / casual and night Then I divide each into . 2nd Summer, mild, winter Then I divide into . 3rd Blouses jackets, etc

[@sarahcook908]

1500 😯. I use a Dryel dry cleaning kit for your dryer. Works on everything except leather and fur. I have a lot of cashmere and other expensive items and it works wonderfully. 10 bucks! Refills are 10 bucks as well! 👌

[@NoName-rx9lo]

THANK YOU! I was looking for a product like that

[@lorigfgirl]

Dryel is similar to the chemicals used in dry cleaning...causes all kinds of health issues including cancer, which is no fun! Trust me, it’s better to use something like this that doesn’t use the chemicals! Even a the hand steamers or the dryers with steam functions are much better and safer unless you use chems in your washer or dryer!

[@saljackson2562]

Everything looks fabulous

[@den8127]

I'd like to learn more about how to clean a walk in closed with open shelves.

[@MariposaEtc]

I organize by type then color. I have all my camisoles and tanks together, then short sleeve blouses then long sleeve blouses and sweaters and then jackets. I have dress pants after my jackets. I also have my hats hanging on the small wall near the door, I can see them and they aren’t taking up space that I can use for other items on a shelf.

[@marynaknowsbest2568]

I've purchased Samsung air dresser after I finished my giant dream closet room. I think that it is a helpful tool for giving your clothes " ironed affect " , but many people mistakenly believe that this tool can replace " dry clean " or laundering process and this machine can't . Even after using sanitize or normal mode perfume smell stays on my dresses. I use one spray of lv perfume and it's not overwhelming but machine can't remove that though Samsung advertisement showed the removal of smells. I've purchased the machine for 1 300 dollars and it looks very similar to yours.

[@CALinial]

Some dryers have similar settings if you can live without the clothes being on a hanger...you can also do some of this with a freezer for plushies and such!

[@fashionablyfrancie5348]

[@GastroVulpes]

Dress hanging tip! 🦋 I use two hangers for dresses! The first, as usual, holds the shoulders of the dress; the second, relieves the weight from the shoulders pulling (no matter how "lightweight" the fabric may be. The second hanger is a flat rod hanger, designed for hanging pants. If the hangers have some uniform dimensions, or the pant slot is wide enough for the first hanger to pass through, it is very easy to hang a dress in one, unfussy sweep. The second hanger, designed for pants, may hang either in front or behind the first hanger, and it may or may not aid in relieving the weight of the sleeves too. 🦋 I am a dress girl, and this is my method! It prevents the garment from becoming "tired," when the fabric at the shoulders pull from the weight. I do this no matter how long (year long or seasonal) a dress in hanging. Some I hang alone on pant style hangers, at the waist line. 🦋
