For this list we’ve picked the closet photos uploaded and most saved by Houzz users in 2021 in various countries around the world. The finding? Out-of-the-box thinking that lets a small space do double or even triple duty, interpreted through the lens of local design trends. What happens when you combine a bookcase, a closet and the French homeowners’ love for mint green? Read on to find out.
Australia
The skinny, Shaker-style cabinetry in timeless white in this kitchen from Plot Architecture reflects the easygoing yet sophisticated look that Australians embrace. The aesthetic is casual with just enough detail to anchor the room, and it works in both contemporary and historical homes — or homes that have both elements, as many renovations do.

France
This closet is in the main bedroom of a house in Asnières, near Paris, that was renovated by interior designer Stéphanie Revol of In Volumine. The custom cabinetry includes a bookshelf on the side. The mint green color, which is trending in France these days, contrasts with the leather handles. The closet doesn’t quite reach the ceiling, preserving the room’s gorgeous moldings. This unit exemplifies the value of custom cabinetry when it comes to making the most of a small space.

This space-saving walk-in closet designed by Heger & Cie, fitted with storage units custom made by Mayr + Mayr, makes clever use of the space under a sloping roof. The idea was to adapt the basic principle behind an apothecary cabinet to clothes storage. The units roll out easily, and in its closed state the unit has a striking minimalist design.

India
This closet is in the primary bedroom of a spacious Bengaluru apartment designed by By the Riverside for a family of five. The mirror-front doors are framed in a glossy white finish, embellished with gold pulls. Another set of cabinets above the main closet extends the storage to the ceiling on one side.
Like the rest of the home, this closet is all about understated, clean-cut luxury. The wood floor accentuates the all-white finish of the walls and cabinetry. The mirrors bring the glam quotient while adding the illusion of more space in the narrow room.

Italy
This custom closet is on a mezzanine in a renovated apartment in Rome. The ceiling was so high that it allowed architect Daniele Mennini to create the small mezzanine over the bed and headboard. Protected with a light iron banister, the result is a lightweight and streamlined walk-through storage setup. The closet’s white wood doors and the light blue ceiling give the room a fresh feel.

Japan
This doorless walk-through closet on the ground floor of a small three-story house in Kobe was designed by architect Noriaki Seki of seki.design. The closet is accessible from both the front entrance and the back room, which also leads to a patio with exterior staircases. The weightless design made it possible to install a closet of this size in a tiny house, which appeals to many Japanese readers. The shelving keeps messes tucked away while allowing the family to get creative with how it displays its possessions.

Russia
Russian users loved the idea of the cabinet handles matching the baseboard and flooring in this closet by Na-Design. (It can be tricky to match furniture veneer, handles and solid wood features perfectly, as they usually come from different suppliers.)
Readers also noted the clever length of the handles — they’re convenient for both adults and children. Of course, the closet’s beautiful interior appealed to readers too.

Built of solid wood, this sleek and spacious closet by Cicerone Group is in a large apartment in Valencia that offers beautiful views over the city’s botanical garden. The closet’s large wooden sliding doors stand out, and they reveal a spacious and warm dressing area when opened. The wood helps define the closet area from the rest of the bedroom.

This walk-in closet by Bhuva Construction combines open display shelving on one side with closed cabinets on the other to create a calm and organized space that allows favorite pieces to be displayed while other items are neatly tucked away.
The custom cabinets on the left, which go all the way to the ceiling, cleverly make the most of every inch of space, and the addition of a window seat makes the closet a welcoming “room” rather than just a functional spot.

United States
A traditional chandelier adds a touch of elegance to this bright and functional walk-in closet in New York. The space gains additional light from a double-hung window. Recessed drawers, pullout shelves and closet rods provide abundant storage to accommodate shoes, purses, sweaters, hanging garments, accessories and other items. The closet maintains the clean white-and-wood palette of the rest of the home by Innate Studio of Wilton, Connecticut.
