Closet Design

Inspirational Pictures for Ideas on Remodeling

I made a statement to myself last weekend that I would organize my closet. Like so many weekends I was too busy, and did not get to the task. If you are like me, this probably happens a lot. Nonetheless, I believe that my core issue is having a poor closet design. So this morning, I embarked on searching around for pictures and ideas for "what could be". The only down side is that closet remodeling can be very costly. On the other hand, a killer closet is a great selling point when you put a house on the market. These pictures are four of the latest walk-in styles from California Closets. For me the hardest element is not picking out a wood color or style, but deciding on what features I need to best organize my clothes. I have thought about taking inventory of my wardrobe and then measuring the space it would take for my preferred method of organizing: whether it is hanging up or folded storage. I think this is the most practical idea I have come up with. Another consideration is thinking about how much shoe storage I will need. Then the over-arching question is what you will need immediate access to. For seasonal wardrobes, your closet organization needs will change. Via.

Ernest table

World-famous author Ernest Hemingway is possibly the inspiration for this fascinating piece. As always from Promemoria this is a perfectly tuned item and a functional yet attractive addition to your home office.

Fashioned from oak, rosewood, maple and ebony this item more than embodies the clean style we have come to expect from the inimitable Italian firm Promemoria and in particular its chief designer Romeo Sozzi. The desk and stool are noticeable by their simple, slender design; the delicate legs are fashioned from anthracite beech while the unobtrusive drawers glide silently in and out of position. An Italian air is lent to this item by the use of dark leather inlays in the drawers and on the desktop. Bronze fittings strike a neat balance between modern style and old-fashioned chic. Sozzi’s preponderance for muted, natural shades is satisfied as the Ernest set is also available finished with deep brown and hazelnut leather.
