The 15 Most Popular Closet Luxuries on Houzz

Turn distressing disarray into streamlined perfection with closet organizers and amenities like these

Clothes on the floor, piles of stacked shoes, overburdened clothing rods — sound familiar? They're all common closet afflictions, and they can quickly turn a closet into a disaster zone. You're not alone; we all can relate. After all, it's hard to find space for all of our goodies, and most of us are more than willing to sacrifice perfect order for just one more pair of killer boots.

Houzz professionals continuously work to resolve these closet predicaments, and users are saving their creative tips and tricks in hundreds of thousands of ideabooks. I've pulled 15 of the best closet solutions from the most popular photos on Houzz. See if there's an idea in here for your own closet.
Munger Interiors
1. Dresser island. This photo has been added to more than 136,000 ideabooks, making it the most popular closet photo on Houzz. Interior designer Elizabeth Munger Stiver thinks it's because of the white cabinetry, glossy surfaces and inset mirrors, which create a crisp, clean feel. It also has a lot to do with the built-in dresser, a commonly requested closet storage option when space allows.

"For an island dresser, you have to have a fair amount of space on all four sides — 3 to 4 feet all the way around," Stiver says. "If you don't have the space, a peninsula dresser is the next best thing, since you don't have to clear all four sides."
Lisa Adams, LA Closet Design
2. Pullout ironing board. Imagine the convenience of having a pullout ironing board where you need it most: in your closet. Almost 114,000 users think this idea is the way to go. (The handy hamper drawers are a bonus.)
Webber Coleman Woodworks
3. Shoe cubbies. Shoe walls are off-the-charts popular. Added to almost 80,000 ideabooks, this photo shows cubbies measuring 9½ inches wide and 8 inches tall — plenty of room for prized heels.
California Closets of Indianapolis
4. Jewelry cabinet. This oversize cabinet from California Closets, a favorite for more than 69,000 Houzzers, is customizable down to the size, shelf liner and number of drawers. You can even add a keypad lock.
EuroCraft Interiors Custom Cabinetry
5. Man closets. One of the biggest Houzz dreams is having his-and-her closets. More than 67,000 of you love this room full of dark wood and plenty of shelf space for shoes, hats and shirts.
Tim Wood Limited
6. Purse hooks. About 56,000 Houzzers love these handy hook rails; they showcase pretty purchases and make swapping bags a breeze. These are customized — made to mimic the client's shoulder, in fact — but you could do something similar with sturdy wall-mounted coatracks.
Lisa Adams, LA Closet Design
7. Pant rack. Jean lovers, rejoice! Here's a storage solution for you. More than 50,000 people covet this clever pullout pants rack, which prevents wrinkles, takes up less space and offers easy access. Add extra traction to slippery racks with a textured flocking material.
Michael Fullen Design Group
8. Display cabinets. More than 50,000 readers love the idea of showcasing most-loved shoes, but with this space, there's even more than meets the eye. Principal designer Michael Fullen included a swiveling mirror with hidden clothes storage, as well as lift-up seat benches with hidden hampers. Pair those with the light-up boxes and Lucite columns for displaying special shoes, and this is definitely a dream closet.
Artistic Designs for Living, Tineke Triggs
9. Open cubbies. About 45,000 readers love these open shelves, which keep favorite sweaters, hats or jeans on hand for a quick grab-and-go.
Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - Texas
10. Glass cabinets. More than 38,000 users like the idea of see-through doors; no more hunting for that shirt or skirt.
J.A. Smith Construction & Design Studio
11. Makeup vanity. Avoid fighting over the bathroom mirror with this convenient option: a built-in makeup vanity. Included in around 35,000 ideabooks, this photo shows an ideal spot for a morning makeup routine; this vanity is great for storing beauty supplies and jewelry in as well.
Cabinet Innovations
12. Drawer dividers. Sidestep a jumbled drawer by installing these simple drawer dividers, which can be adjusted to accommodate your personal pieces. Around 30,000 Houzzers want something similar.
Lisa Adams, LA Closet Design
13. All-in-one closet unit. Sure, we all love our niche storage solutions, but most of us want a closet that accommodates all of our items, from ties to traditional shirts. Added to 30,000 ideabooks, this photo shows a space that has it all: an abundance of clothing rods, see-through pullout drawers, a tie tray and plenty of open shelving. Little touches of luxury, like leather drawer pulls and a fully stocked mini fridge, customize the closet for an above-and-beyond look.
Cabinet Innovations
14. Tie rack. Nearly 25,000 users like this pullout rack for keeping ties, sunglasses, wallets and cuff links in check.
Laurence Tamaccio Design Destinations
15. Built-in hamper. There are many things about this closet that more than 21,000 Houzzers love, but a built-in hamper with transportable bags stands out as a favorite.

Architect and designer Laurence Tamaccio says people love the space efficiency and warm wood elements found in this Elements closet system, unfortunately no longer available. “This modular closet system truly thinks of everything,” Tamaccio says. “There are so many on the market, but there’s something about this one that stands out. It’s so simple and nicely designed.”
