Last week we shared how to refresh your closet here. Now that your closet is organized, here comes the fun part…styling your closet like a chic boutique. Here are twelve ways to create a boutique closet:
#1 If there’s room, hang a full-length mirror on a wall in your closet or on the door.

#2 Place a chair or stool in your closet. I love my swivel stool from Home Goods.

#3 If you have natural light or a window in your closet, think about adding wallpaper. FYI…wallpaper on the ceiling adds a luxe accent.

#4 If you have space, move an armoire or chest of drawers into your closet.

#5 Repurpose a china cabinet…they are great for displaying shoes, handbags, sweaters, etc.

#6 Go antiquing…I love my 1940’s retro armoire for storing and displaying jewelry, handbags, etc. ….purchased at the Montgomery Street Antique Mall.

#7 Be creative in displaying jewelry by using items around the house, such as…a candy dish, a cake stand, small bowls, and trays….and even teacups.

#8 For color and texture, add a rug or piece of art.

#9 Add some hooks or a valet to display your favorite coat, hat, scarf, or handbag.

#10 Definitely matching hangers to give your closet a cohesive look and can be space-saving.

#11 For a party vibe…bring a bar cart or party tray into the closet. They are great for storing makeup, handbags, hats, jewelry, etc. And even a bottle of tequila!

#12 Top off your closet boutique style with a chandelier or a unique ceiling fixture. If you have space, add a lamp for ambiance.

Once your closet is styled, grab your bar cart or a party tray and invite friends over for a closet reveal party….after your two Covid vaccines, of course! Be sure to take before and after photos of your closet, tag @HolleymWilliams, and @homewithatwist, then congratulate yourself on a rewarding and refreshing project!

Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
