My Dream Closet Space

Living in NYC, one thing there isn't much of is closet space. When Sean and I moved into our Upper West Side apartment in May, I was sold by the fact that it had three sizable (by New York standards) closets! In our Brooklyn pad, I had to make due without one entirely, using a wardrobe and freestanding clothing rack. It was a tall order because, as you can imagine, I have a lot of clothes. This weekend, I went to visit friends in Connecticut, one of whom just bought a new house. I got the grand tour, which included her bedroom closet. It is, I kid you not, larger than my bedroom. Seriously, the closet envy is real. When I came across Arhaus and it encouraged me to create my dream closet, my head started dancing with visions.


The first thing my bedroom-sized closet would need is a big plush rug. Because bare feet in the morning need a soft, high pile. Then, lots of lighting and a giant mirror (hello selfies!). Arhaus has an array of chic pendants, table lamps and floor lamps, from sparkly chandeliers to pared-down industrial styles. And of course, a stylish vanity and cute seating for tying those ever-tricky ghillie sandals. Last, a tall etagere—or several, depending on how big we're talking here—for displaying bags, shoes and jewelry. What does your dream closet look like?
