If your collection of shoes, sport coats, or dresses is overflowing from your current storage space, a customized walk-in closet can be the perfect solution to clothing clutter. This space provides you with an easy way to organize your clothing and accessories. Before you have one installed, you’ll need to decide which accessories are a must-have. The guide below explains why a closet island is useful and what features you should look for if you choose to install one.

4 Must-Have Features for Your Walk-In Closet Island

1. Jewelry Storage

Keep accessories like necklaces, bracelets, and watches in place and tangle-free with several drawers of dedicated storage. These drawers can be fitted with specialized organizers that make it easy to keep pairs of earrings together, keep track of rings and brooches, and see at a glance what accessories you have.

2. Ample Counter Space

One of the most significant benefits of a closet island is extra space to lay out clothes for the day. Your island should have enough room for you to place multiple outfits side by side. You can better coordinate outfits and become more organized in your daily routine. This makes it easier to pack for vacations or business trips, and you’ll also find it helpful in day-to-day outfit planning.

3. Shoe Rack or Drawers

If you have a lot of shoes to keep track of, an additional shoe rack built in to the island is a must. Consider angled shelves to keep shoes from sliding off, or get even more organized with individual cubbies for each pair of shoes. This will also keep shoes from getting scuffed and keep them in excellent shape for longer periods.

4. Laundry Accessories

A closet island makes laundry easier from beginning to end. Adding a pull-out hamper makes it easy to store dirty laundry until you’re ready to wash it. Once you have clean clothes, the counter space makes folding and organizing a breeze. If you frequently need neatly pressed clothes for business engagements, add a fold-out ironing board to make this task easier.
