Luxury Closets More than Space for Your Clothes
With the cooler weather on the way, some people are looking in their closet for their sweaters, jackets, and coats, but others are looking at their closet to see how they can make it more functional and convenient. Luxury realtors in the Las Vegas area are finding that sellers are expecting more and more from this previously small space. In fact, some buyers are requesting a smaller bedroom that is complemented by a large, luxury closet, complete with a lounging area, laundry area, TVs, and even writing desks.
Today’s buyers want more than storage space – they want luxury and convenience!
Private Retreat Rather Than Somewhere to Simply Hang Clothes
Interior designers in the Las Vegas area are seeing more and more homeowners who want to take their closets and turn them into a space where they can display their prized positions. From displaying their favorite jewelry and expensive handbags like pieces of art to using their designer clothing as a way to add color and texture to the room, this is much more than a closet. “It’s a quiet escape. A little retreat. It’s a cocoon, intimate – a smaller space. It’s comforting to most people,” says designer Cary Vogel.
Vogel says that each homeowner is different. Some want to use family photos or personal items to decorate their boudoir or closet area, while others want to use their Louis Vuitton or Hermes handbags for the central focal point or their Jimmy Choo shoes. Everyone is a bit different and this translates into how they set up their room and use it. Elaborate displays are made to show off their “pieces of art” that they wear and use.
Some of these luxury closet areas are shrinking the master bedrooms, but this is what many higher end homeowners are looking for. They want a space to not only get dressed, but to also have a cup of coffee, relax, and hang out before getting ready for their next appointment or event. An 800 square feet closet is not unusual in luxury homes, as for many people, these sell the home and give it much more functionality.
Spaces for packing suitcases, laying out your clothes for the next day, folding clothes, and completely taking care of your clothing needs can make getting dressed feel much like you are in an upscale store each and every day.
Whether a realtor or a builder, you want to know that closets can help sell a home, especially a luxury home. Consider making it into a space that will be used, not only to change clothes, but also to enjoy.
