How we did it
Designer Melissa Hatch met Adam at the country house to kick off the design stage, where Adam shared inspiration photos of clean-lined, black-and-white spaces. Melissa first tackled the space challenge—small square footage and an awkward configuration—by fitting hanging storage against the largest wall, designing deep drawers to maximize an open niche, and adding a bench equipped with closed cabinetry for hidden shoe storage beneath the closet’s window. She then translated Adam’s aesthetic vision by creating a refined balance of bold black hardware with a fresh white finish, tempering the contrast with a complementary textured finish for added warmth.
final result
I couldn't be happier because it doesn't feel like a closet, it feels like part of the house.

A clean, contemporary closet perfectly fit to Adam’s edited weekend wardrobe. Open shelving and hanging keeps the bulk of his clothes and shoes easily accessible, while a separate shelf stack behind a mirrored door hides select items and helps the small space feel larger.
