Today I thought it would be fun to share how I tackled my tiny closet makeover, and how I turned it into an organized space.
My goal was to give this closet a new look but on a budget.
A few years ago I had a well-known closet organization company come out for an estimate, and they asked for a total of three thousand dollars, I said no thank you.
So I was left with one option, to take on a DIY project.
The first step was to purge and clean out the entire closet and to remove those ugly wired shelves.
I am almost embarrassed to share this, but below is a picture of what the closet looked like.
As you can see, I wasn’t making the best use of the space at all.
Following the purge, I began my research to brainstorm some ideas.
The first step was to purchase the closet system, you see below which was a great investment.
However, my drywall would not let me great, so I could not install it as a closet system with the rods.
Instead, I ended up using the closet system as a closet organizer (you’ll see what I mean later).
I then found longer rods to fit the space which I installed one at the top and the other about halfway down the wall, giving me a total of two rods in the closet to hang my clothes.
What a difference a shelf, organizing baskets, and greenery makes.
Investing in blush pink velvet hangers was worth every penny.
CREATE THE SAME LOOK:
Following the rod installation, I put the closet system I mentioned above together and began to organize my clothes and shoes.
Then it was time to style it with small home decor finds (my favorite part).
The picture above is an overview of my small tiny closet makeover.
It turned out exactly the way I envisioned.
I also decided to create a beauty corner for myself to avoid having to do my makeup in a rush in my bathroom or bedroom.
It is so peaceful to get my makeup done in this little corner.
Besides my home office, my small closet is my second favorite space in my home.
The blue LED lighting was just the icing on the cake I needed.
It has four color settings on the wireless remote, and I love it!
Oh, and if you are curious about my small shoe collection, yes, those are all the shoes I own.
I keep it pretty neutral.
I will try to link some of my favorites at the end of this post, so check it out.
The white faux fur rug was a gift, but you can find a similar one to it.
Also, the floating shelves, mirror, jewelry organizer, and wall art were all installed by me to save a few dollars.
GET THE LOOK:
This round necklace stand has been with me for ages, so I didn’t want to get rid of it.
I love it in the space.
To finalize the closet system, I added brick contact paper.
I am not a pro a wallpapering, but I thought could tackle it by myself.
It took a few tries, and I think it turned out great.
This pair of metal trays added the perfect farmhouse touch to the close, and they make the perfect “catch-all” for my makeup palettes and other items.
The fashion wall art images are from an artist on Etsy, and I got them printed online at Office Depot.
The last step was to install lighting. I picked up this gorgeous crystal chandelier, see more of it here.
After reading this post and looking at the pictures of my tiny closet makeover, I hope you are inspired to create a DIY closet you will love no matter how big or small.
I was discouraged after I realized the custom was not in my budget.
With a little patience, creativity, hard work, and less than $700 in spending cost, I was able to create a space I love.
I hope you will do the same.
