If you don’t have a separate room for a closet, that’s not a problem, you can buy some wardrobes or build in a closet, and usually closets are built-in or just organized in bedrooms. A makeshift closet with some railings is the easiest to realize idea but despite of looking airy and lightweight it will bring some clutter for sure. A built-in closet is a sleeker solution that won’t stand out much as it’s usually covered, hidden or at least features some doors, and that’s a better idea for many bedrooms, especially small ones, where no clutter is essential. Let’s find out how to make a build in closet in a bedroom and hide it in a smart way.
Wall Space Dividers
The most contemporary idea to realize is building a wall between the sleeping and closet space. This wall can be part of storage, for example, a wardrobe or a set of shelves or just a sheer glass wall for a more lightweight look, it depends on how much space you have. In such cases the closet is either a small walk-in one or a narrow walk-in one, and I’d recommend to add as much light there as possible.
Advantages: such a bedroom looks stylish, elegant and is comfortable in using, both for sleeping and dressing up. The wall is a durable thing, which won’t require any maintenance. The closet will be hidden almost completely and the access there will be easy.
Disadvantages: such a solution is hard to realize, it will require some work or at least buying or making some furniture that will become your wall.

The most popular solution is covering your built-in or even corner closet with curtains, usually white ones, which can be sheer, semi-sheer or even thick and non-sheer at all.
Advantages: the easiest idea ever: just attach a rod and hang the curtains you like, that won’t require much effort or money. This is a quick fix when you don’t have time or just can’t make drastic changes, perfect for renters. You can hang any curtains you like to match the bedroom design and you can also change them as often as you like. Curtains look lightweight, which is important for small rooms.
Disadvantages: it’s not the most stylish solution and may not match some bedrooms cause of their ultimate design. You will have to wash and iron the curtains from time to time, and if you have pets, especially cats, they might be interested in hanging on these curtains.
