While your collection of clothing can make a serious fashion statement, the place in which you store your clothing can as well. Follow these five tips to transform your closet into a space that exudes sophistication and style.

1. Mix in luxurious materials: Add personality to your space with glass shelves and colorful or textured back panels. Incorporating leather, in particular, is a great way to add some opulence into a closet. You can fully customize the look to match your wardrobe, your home’s aesthetic or your personal style.

2. Put your favorite items on display: You might have a collection of designer purses, an incredible array of shoes or a number of gorgeous scarves. Showing them off is a great way to add some glamour to your closet. Use shelves to display purses or shoes and install dedicated hanging racks to present your scarves.

3. Install fabulous lighting: While lighting is often overlooked in a closet space, it makes a huge difference when it comes to the overall look of the space. Lighted shelves draw the eye toward your favorite items, while a chandelier or a pretty lamp can give the space extra illumination and elegance.

4. Add a sitting space: A chair or pouf covered in luxurious fabric, such as velvet, linen, or faux fur lends a trendy and upscale vibe to your closet while making the space more comfortable, too.

5. Use decorative accents to give the space extra oomph: Infuse extra flair into your closet with carefully chosen accessories, such as acrylic or metal trays, mirrors and fashion-related artwork.
