Specialty lighting is becoming more and more desired in the closet. Many closet spaces are small and do not always have a window, so built-in lighting can help make your outfit styling a smoother and more efficient process. Lighting can also highlight your more cherished items — like your purse collection or hat display.Know that there are customization options for every need — even hiding a safe or creating a space for dozens of ties! We’re always figuring out the best way to make room for the small items in the closet.
First and foremost, a closet must function well but also have the right balance of style. A great closet has a good layout, gives a sense of order, maximizes function, and reduces stress when selecting outfits in the morning.Another popular priority is proper storage for a variety of items. Different types of clothing and accessories require different organizational needs. There is not always a one-size-fits-all approach, but there are unique solutions for each!I also hear a lot of clients come in and say, “just make it pretty!” Nowadays, people want even the hidden spaces in their homes to be well-designed. Making details shine and look more sophisticated is important. One client may be looking for lots of molding and a more classic look — this requires attention to the shape of the closet and the forms that it takes. Other clients may prefer the crisp and clean lines of a more modern design — this means creative ways to conceal the clutter.

When it comes to designing a home that fosters health, happiness, and wellbeing, color is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal. The colors we choose for our walls influence how we feel, think, and interact in our spaces. By tapping into the principles of color psychology, you can curate a home that nurtures calmness, sparks energy, or inspires joy.
“Choose colors based on the mood you want to evoke,” says Jean Haukaas, Hirshfield’s Design Resource showroom manager. “Calm, neutral tones like soft blues and grays work well in bedrooms, while brighter, more energetic hues can suit kitchens or playrooms.”
