Upgrade to A Boutique Closet

From Spare Room to Showroom: How DelMarVa Homeowners Are Creating Luxury Walk-In Closets at Home

Dreaming of a Boutique Closet? You’re Not Alone.

More and more Delaware homeowners are transforming underused spaces into luxury walk-in closets, complete with display shelving, vanity stations, built-in drawers, and even island storage. What was once a trend in high-end homes is now an attainable upgrade for everyday living.

At Behind Closed Doors Custom Closets & Cabinetry, we specialize in room-to-closet conversions that blend elegance with function without sacrificing the soul of your home.

Why Convert a Room into a Walk-In Closet?

✅ Maximize Space You Already Own
That guest room that only gets used twice a year? Or the office no one uses since the laptop moved to the kitchen counter? These spaces are prime real estate for a personalized, spacious closet.

✅ Add Everyday Luxury to Your Routine
Imagine walking into a space designed just for your wardrobe, shoes, bags, and accessories—with built-in lighting, full-length mirrors, and soft-close drawers. It’s not just beautiful—it’s functional luxury.

✅ Boost Home Value & Appeal
According to Zillow, custom closets—especially spacious, walk-in ones—are on the wish lists of modern homebuyers. A thoughtfully designed boutique closet can enhance resale appeal without the cost of a full room remodel.

Features Delaware Homeowners Are Loving

Fashion Week Teaches Us About Bespoke Customization for Any Wardrobe

New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is where the world’s most influential designers unveil their latest collections, showcasing trends that will soon make their way into closets around the globe. But as any fashion enthusiast knows, the key to style is not just about following trends — it’s about personalizing them to fit your lifestyle and space. Just like the runway offers bespoke designs for every shape and size, Behind Closed Doors can help you craft a customizable storage solution for your wardrobe, no matter the size of your closet.

Fashion and Functionality: What NYFW Shows Us About Personalization

At NYFW, designers focus on details — from the cut of a coat to the finishing touches on a handbag. Every element is thoughtfully crafted to suit the individual, and this attention to detail is a great reminder that personalization goes beyond what you wear. Your wardrobe storage should reflect your unique needs, taste, and space constraints. Whether you have a walk-in closet large enough for runway-ready gowns or a small reach-in filled with everyday essentials, having a storage solution tailored to your collection is essential.

The Perfect Fit: Custom Storage for Every Closet Size

Just like a couture dress is tailored to fit its wearer perfectly, your closet should be designed to fit your space and your wardrobe seamlessly. At Behind Closed Doors, we specialize in creating custom closet solutions for any size wardrobe. Whether you need space to organize your growing collection of seasonal fashion finds or require a compact solution for a smaller space, our bespoke designs ensure that every inch of your closet is maximized for both style and function.

Walk-In Closets: Your Personal Fashion Runway

For those with expansive walk-in closets, NYFW offers endless inspiration for creating a stylish, luxurious space. We can help you design a closet that mirrors the elegance of a designer showroom. Think custom drawers, shelving for your shoes and handbags, and elegant lighting to highlight your most prized pieces. Whether you want a display for your haute couture or a functional area to organize your day-to-day wardrobe, we’ll work with you to create the ultimate fashion haven.

Reach-In Closets: Maximizing Space with Style

Not everyone has the luxury of a massive walk-in closet, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or organization. Much like how designers at NYFW work within parameters to create breathtaking looks, we can transform even the smallest of spaces into functional and stylish areas. Our reach-in closet solutions are fully customizable, offering features like pull-out racks, adjustable shelving, and smart storage for accessories, so every piece of your wardrobe is easily accessible and beautifully organized.

Bespoke Customization for Accessories

Just as every accessory on the runway complements a well-thought-out ensemble, your closet should accommodate more than just clothing. Custom solutions for jewelry, scarves, belts, and shoes can elevate your wardrobe experience. Imagine drawers with built-in dividers for jewelry, pull-out trays for shoes, and dedicated spaces for hats or bags. Our customization options allow you to create a space that mirrors the attention to detail seen at NYFW.

Sustainability and Storage: Curating a Conscious Closet

With sustainability taking center stage at this year’s NYFW, curating a wardrobe that reflects both fashion and eco-conscious values has never been more important. A well-organized, custom closet can help you maintain a sustainable approach to fashion by encouraging mindful purchases and proper care of your clothing. Investing in a thoughtfully designed storage system can ensure that your clothes, shoes, and accessories last longer, reducing the need for constant replacement and supporting sustainable fashion practices.

Tailor Your Closet Like Your Wardrobe

New York Fashion Week is a celebration of creativity, individuality, and design — and your wardrobe should reflect that same sense of personalization. At Behind Closed Doors, we take inspiration from the world of fashion to create customized storage solutions that are as stylish as they are functional. Whether you have a small wardrobe or a vast collection, our bespoke closet designs are tailored to suit your space and your fashion needs.

Transform your closet into a personalized fashion haven. Contact Behind Closed Doors today to schedule a consultation and discover how we can bring a touch of NYFW-inspired luxury to your home.

Closet Design Trends for 2023

January is our favorite time to get inspired in the closet design world! And we’re ending this month with a bang—sharing our predictions for the top closet design trends of the year. Get excited, we think this is going to be the most stylish year yet for custom closets!

Cabinets Over Shelving

Putting everything behind closed doors is trending right now. Where we used to see clients opt for a mixture of open shelving and cabinets, we’re now seeing more clients move toward all cabinets and drawers for a cleaner look. If this fits your style, now is the time to make it happen!

Convertible Vanities

As we continue to see master closets morph into more than just closets (check out our blog post on how closets are becoming the new sitting rooms), we’re seeing clients add in elements that can serve dual roles, like convertible vanities. Start the day getting ready at a vanity and then transition it to a desk for working from home. We especially love doing in this in closets with windows so you can take advantage of the natural light.

Classic Look

We’re going to see a return to traditional style in 2023—a touch of the old fashioned mixed in with a clean, classic look. Think wood tones, painted cabinets, vintage hardware and artwork.

Focus on Flooring

Often an afterthought or a safe choice to blend in, we’re now going to be seeing a lot more attention paid to closet flooring. Be it a patterned carpet, marble tile floor or a colorful runner over wood floors.

Luxury Additions

As we continue to see closets morph into dual functioning spaces, we’ll see more luxury add-ons such as bar areas, washers and dryers for convenient laundry cleaning and storage specific areas for items such as luggage.

Whether you want to embrace these trends or take your own path, let us help bring your custom closet dreams to life! Contact us today.
