Prepare for the new year with modern closet designs. Learn the emerging trends and apply them to your wardrobe. Let’s go over some closet design trends you should watch in 2023!

Open Hardware Features

Closed storage compartments are common parts of closets. Cabinets, drawers, and islands protect apparel and create discreet storage. Some items, like footwear, don’t require closed storage. Many people prefer shoes on display. An open hardware feature (shoe shelf or rack) is the perfect addition to your closet. Showcase footwear while having easy access to shoes! The open feature is attractive and user-friendly.

Bright and Cool Light Fixtures

Lighting is essential in all closet systems. In 2023, it’s all about bright and cool light fixtures. Hanging gallery lights have resurged into the closet scene. Expect LED bulbs to replace incandescent (yellow) lightbulbs. Natural lighting is also a popular choice. If applicable, natural lighting from large windows is the best option for 2023 closets.

Vibrant Colors and Texture

In 2023, every closet needs an eye-catching element. Whether it’s a vibrant piece of artwork or a mirror with a colorful outline, everyone needs something unique. Additionally, texture enhances wardrobes too. For example, satin brass knobs are great additions to cabinets and drawers. Here at Wood Closet Designs, we can send you drawers without handles so you can add your own touch to the hardware. You can find pieces that pair with your closet’s features and color palette. Or try something new and find eccentric elements to add to your wardrobe.

Handle-Free Doors

An interesting closet design trend you should watch is handle-free doors. The rise of “invisible closets,” otherwise known as European-style closets, is here. For this design, the closet’s exterior blends with the surrounding walls, leaving no gaps between the cabinets. Handle-free doors give the appearance of a solid wall rather than an in-wall cabinet. It adds a sleek and luxurious look to closets.

It doesn’t take much to incorporate this trend into your existing closet system. Simply remove the handles to create a sophisticated appearance.

Accent Furniture

Walk-in closet systems are gorgeous units. For a functional design element, accent furniture is the best closet add-on. Stools, small accent tables, and chairs are fantastic options. In particular, accent pieces with warm colors are trendy and stylish. Imagine a walnut-brown table or a cherry-oak stool. Regardless of your preference, accent furniture is a 2023 must-have feature.
