Luxurious and Edgy Eclectic Closets that are Just Spectacular!

ByMyProperty Life

Not everyone has enough space or an additional room in the house for a dedicated walk-in closet. But those who do often tend to opt for a look that is modern, understated and filled with neutral hues. Admittedly, that works more times than not but there are occasions when we are left searching for something brilliant; a style that moves away from the mundane and gives the closet an identity of its own. That is where eclectic style comes to your rescue with the way in which it can bring together many different elements without ever seeming out of place.

The eclectic closet comes in a wide range of sizes and with different style influences. But today we are focusing on spacious walk-in closets that combine an air of luxury with plenty of color and an unmistakable personality. The best eclectic closets feel brilliant, are engaging and yet they do not leave you overwhelmed with too much color. Some embrace rugged industrial influences while others are injected with beach style overtones and modernity. This is a look at the very best eclectic closets –

An Infusion of Color

There is no shortage of color when it comes to eclectic style and you can use everything ranging from bright pink and bold purple to gorgeous greens and daring reds in here. In the large walk-in closet this infusion of color comes in the form of the many cabinets, shelves and the central bench that provides a seating option. Of course, you can also use wallpaper and paint to add color to this space as well. No matter which approach you use, it is important to not use more than three or four colors in here. If you prefer a walk-in closet with neutral hues, then a carpet or rug along with drapes and other removable fixtures in bold color should do the trick.

Space and Shelving for YOU!

You want to design a walk-in closet that is ideal for you instead of a cookie-cutter model that is more universal. If you are a DIY enthusiast with decent skill, then you can even craft some of the floating shelves and cabinets in wood for the closet all on your own. Depending on the collection in your wardrobe, your footwear and how you change your clothing with change of seasons, you can opt for open and closed shelving. Mirrored closet doors are a popular choice in here and they create visual space and give even the small walk-in closet a larger persona.

Beyond the Spacious Walk-in Closet

We completely understand that not everyone has space to spare for a large, luxurious walk-in closet and that is why we want to share inspirations for a smaller eclectic closet that still packs quite a punch. This works even better when you have a bedroom in eclectic style and at times your collection of clothes, jewelry and shoes can add to the vivacious appeal of the closet. Some are simple enough to recreate in even the tiniest of bedrooms while others might need some smart modular solutions to get done. No matter which approach you choose, you are assured of a fabulous little closet.

  • Lakeside Residence

    Originally built as a modest beachfront cabin in the 1960s and subsequently modified through a series of piecemeal renovations, by the time the client acquired the house its design integrity had long ceased to exist. The forested one-acre property, however, was ideally suited to the creation of a quiet refuge with direct connections to nature. The path from street to house is conceived as a journey where work and public life give way to nature and private reflection. The 60-foot change in elevation from entry drive to water’s edge, was not without challenges. The upper driveway is transformed into a winding forest drive, while the final steps to the house pass through a series of intimate landscapes. A two-story glazed entry provides glimpses through the house to the water from the moment one enters the site. “To preserve the original view experience,” notes Brett Baba, principal architect for the project, “we carved big glass slots through the house both vertically and horizontally so a visitor can see right through to the water as they descend to the house.” Planted roof surfaces help to merge the house with its setting. Inside, the house was taken back to the studs and completely reworked. Previously lacking visual connections to the lake, all major interior spaces were reoriented to the views. “One of the most challenging aspects of this project,” adds Baba, “was the limited buildable area of the site. The homeowner had an ambitious program, so we needed to be creative in finding ways to solve space needs and elevate the quality of the space we had.” The main floor and formal entry, the middle of the house’s three floors, serve as the public zone of the house. Here, spaces including the galley kitchen and breakfast room, and dining and living, which flow one to the other. A small guest room rounds out the main floor. A second floor was added to provide separation for private spaces, and includes the master suite and kids bedrooms. The staircase connecting the floors was conceived as a set of wood slabs (fumed white oak) that appear to float within a wood enclosure. The partial, below-grade basement, was previously closed off from the waterfront. The space now opens directly to the water, enabling activities to flow from inside to outside. The basement provides family-oriented spaces including the family room, gym, wine room, kitchenette, laundry, powder bath and playroom for the children. Family room furnishing are simple, dominated by an L-shaped sofa, and a large television above a fireplace—a “hangout area” for the kids. Baba and Hunziker worked closely with the homeowner on the selection of finishes. “He pushed us to explore the most elegant design that we could,” notes Baba. “He has great taste and was open to very sophisticated finishes and details” Materially rich finishes—such as polished concrete, stone, cerused rift white oak and fumed oak, and blackened steel—balance the otherwise crisp and spare detailing found throughout the house. Everything from door pulls to sink faucet levers were meticulously designed, detailed, and fabricated. Stand out features include the staircase with floating wood slabs, custom bead-blasted nickel hardware, an oversized Japanese soaking tub, and sliding leather paneled pocket doors to master bedroom and bathroom. Concealed doors and integrated handrails reinforce the minimal aesthetic without sacrificing rich materiality. Outside, variously-sized, dark-stained cedar siding provides subtle dimension and shadow effects. Cor-Ten siding wraps selected portions of the exterior to articulate the composition and massing. Integrated sun shades and fins on all west-facing windows marry function with aesthetics, adding visual texture while mitigating direct sun exposure. Graham Baba Architects team
