A clean-lined closet for creative consultant Michelle Adams

Michelle Adams' customized reach-in closet with extra dresser drawer storage and hanging wardrobe by California Closets

After remodeling and living in a 1920s Colonial for years, creative consultant and editor Michelle Adams set out on a new project: the complete renovation of a new mid-century modern home. Though big on character and open space, the house needed work—especially in terms of functional storage in the master bedroom. Wanting a solution that neatly organized and hid everything from sight while staying true to the home’s aesthetic, Michelle called California Closets Michigan to create a custom design that achieved the style and functionality she desired.

“My favorite part is the center section. The wide countertop space above the drawers allows for space to curate each day’s outfit. Staging at its best!”

How California Closets did it

Michelle started the process by sharing an inspiration photo with design consultant Janice Fisher, which highlighted her vision for long, clean lines and feature lighting. Janice translated this desire into a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling custom unit that stored Michelle’s wardrobe to a T. Multiple hanging sections of varying heights corral dresses, skirts, shirts, and pants, while pull-out shoe shelves keep her collection protected and accessible. In the center, drawers provide concealed storage, and shelves above offer a chic display space. Custom lighting throughout spotlights her entire wardrobe.

“Since my closet was designed specifically to accommodate my wardrobe, everything has a place, which makes it super easy to keep things organized all the time. The way my wardrobe looks in these photos is the way it looks every morning when I open up the closet doors. It's a dream!”
