Dream Girls — Dream Closets You Will Never Want To Leave

Admit it, your mouth dropped open and your heart raced when Big revealed the custom closet that he had built for Carrie. We were all green with envy. As women, we LOVE a fab­u­lous closet! A big beau­tiful closet is almost as great as a big beau­tiful dia­mond. Almost!  Touring Hollywood’s famous closets can keep us enter­tained for hours. Kimmora Lee Sim­mons made a show out of her dream closet and even gave us a new adjec­tive to use: “fabulosity”.

What would you do if you had a closet like Mariah Carey? Her closet, by the way, is 12,000 square feet!!!! She owns over ONE THOUSAND pairs of shoes!!! I think I just had a little heart attack! Other famously desir­able closets belong to Paula Abdul (only 5,000 square feet), Nicky Hilton (two over-​​stuffed closets and over 200 designer hand­bags) and of course, Kim Kardashian.

 Which Kar­dashian did it best?

We have to admit though, the piece de resis­tance of closets belongs to Vic­toria Beckham. Not only does she win with the hunky hubby award, her closet is by far the most impres­sive of all celebrity closets. It is rumored that her closet cost $500K to build, including leather floors and a lavish Bac­carat crystal chan­de­lier. Living up to her name, Posh Spice has a closet that is packed with a wide array of amazing clothes and shoes. Not only is it full of clothes and acces­sories, but also with state-​​of-​​the art tech­nolo­gies such as a 360-​​degree viewing camera (so she can see what she looks like from all angles) and a com­puter that tells her how many times she has worn a spe­cific clothing piece. Sources say that Victoria’s col­lec­tion of clothes, shoes, purses and acces­sories is so vast that she has to store it in mul­tiple rooms. Having so much, but still willing to give back, the Beck­hams hosted the holy grail of thrift sales. In November 2013 they cleaned out their closets to help raise money for the Red Cross and vic­tims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Which celebrity owns your favorite closet? More impor­tantly, how can you make your closet a little more fab­u­lous? What we really love about these celebrity closets is the bou­tique feel. There are many afford­able and extrav­a­gant closet sys­tems avail­able to orga­nize your duds. Start by grouping your clothes by type: pants, skirts, shirts, dresses, etc. Then break it down fur­ther and group by style: button-​​down, short sleeve, long sleeve, dressy, casual.  Finally, group by color and then gra­dient hues within the color. Store your spe­cial occa­sion shoes indi­vid­u­ally in plastic boxes to keep them dust free and ready for that spe­cial date. We found a great pin on Pin­terest to help inspire your orga­ni­za­tion marathon.

 How to create the per­fect closet

Our favorite Pin­terest closets

Remember, the rule of thumb for orga­nizing is if you haven’t worn it within a year, toss it! To save on space, use large plastic con­tainers or under the bed storage. No one said that you had to be in the dark inside your closet, so add a chan­de­lier to give it some sparkle and an area rug for panache. Invest in wooden coat hangers for style and add to the life of your clothes. Here is your inspi­ra­tion, so…what are you waiting for? It’s time to start spring cleaning and put the “fab­u­losity” back in your wardrobe.
