What features should a walk-in closet for women have?
It’s true that many homes have one walk-in closet which is shared. That’s normal. But if you’re very fortunate to have his and hers walk-in closets, you’ll love this gallery because this is a collection which hand-picked designs that cater to women.
What features are important for women walk-in closets?
- Shoe storage: Without a doubt extensive shoe storage is a must-have feature for any female oriented walk-in closet. Women tend to have more shoes than men and so storage is important. In other words, a bigger percentage of woman’s closet should be devoted to shoes than a man’s closet.
- Vanity: I think a vanity is a terrific addition to any walk-in closet for a woman where she can apply make-up, do hair, etc. in the very environment in which she gets dressed.
- Floor-to-ceiling hanging areas for dresses: Men don’t need as much full-length hanging space. Suits are shorter as pants are hung inside the jacket. Dresses, on the other hand, need length and so a woman’ts walk-in closet needs plenty of full length hanging space.
- Floor-to-ceiling mirror: Actually this is a good feature for both men and women, but we’ll mention it anyway because it’s definitely necessary for women.
- Chandelier: Nothing dresses up a space like a fabulous chandelier. Men prefer different lighting… perhaps a bit darker while a brighter space tends to appeal to women a bit more.
- Light colors: You’ll notice many of the walk-in closets we feature below for women are lighter than the male masculine designs. The brightness and lightness is achieved through lighter paint, flooring, windows and lights.
- Handbag storage: Women have handbags and so they need a place for them. Since this is an accessory that goes with an outfit, a fitting place to store such items is in the same place as a woman’s clothing.
- Jewelry storage: Like handbags, jewelry is selected based on an outfit and so it makes sense that a walk-in closet have a place for storing jewelry in an organized fashion.

Aren’t these ridiculous? Why publish such luxury?
We actually get a lot of feedback from people saying that publishing such luxurious designs is ridiculous because it’s out of touch for most people.
We agree, partly. Our walk-in closet galleries definitely fall into the luxury camp. But here’s the thing. Actually, our response is twofold.
First, walk-in closets by definition are a luxury room in most houses. Even modest walk-in closets are a luxury room… although they are becoming more commonplace in new homes because people love them.
Second, we feature out-of-reach designs because people like to dream and be inspired. This is far more popular than you’d expect and so we give people what they want. A site filled with mediocre, low-cost designs wouldn’t be that popular. People like spectacular.
Third, the point of amazing design, even if out-of-reach for most people is to get ideas and inspiration. While you may not be able to afford a 700 square foot walk-in closet, you may see some aspects of such a closet that you like and would like to include. If our walk-in closet galleries featured only bare-bones miniature options with wire shelving, you’re not exactly going to get any decent ideas.
