How can you use glass and mirrors to update your walk-in closet? If your master bedroom closet lacks a lux aesthetic edge, take a look at the creative ways clear and reflective panes can combine form and function.

Create Display Cabinets

Open the space and display your favorite wardrobe pieces with see-through glass panel cabinets. Instead of solid wood, install transparent doors. This elegant walk-in closet storage option:

• Creates a showcase . Do you want to show off a designer dress, handbags, or anything else? Glass-front panel cabinet doors create the perfect showcase space for your precious pieces.
• Adds the illusion of extra area . Can you barely walk into your walk-in? If your closet isn't spacious, glass panel cabinet doors create a light, airy, open aesthetic. This creates the visual illusion of extra space.
• Allows you to organize easily . You can see every shirt, dress, skirt, or pair of pants hanging in your closet with glass-front cabinet doors. The ability to easily see your wardrobe allows you to organize everything.
• Gives you easy access . Not only can you organize everything easily, you can find specific wardrobe picks quickly.

Along with these benefits, glass panel cabinet doors have a clean, contemporary look that can step up your closet's overall design or coordinate with the rest of the master bedroom.

Install Floor-to-Ceiling Mirrors

Your walk-in closet doesn't only store clothes. This bedroom-adjacent area is a dressing room, catwalk, and glam space. This means you need plenty of reflective surfaces. Over-sized mirrors provide this surface in a decorative way. Before you install new floor-to-ceiling mirrors in your walk-in closet:

• Consult with a professional . Even though you could hang a full-length mirror yourself, a mirrored wall will make a bigger impact on the space. This type of mirror installation requires professional design and installation.
• Choose the right wall . Which wall should you cover with a mirror? Make sure the space is free from cabinets, shelving, or other obstructions. You need full visibility to make this over-sized option work in your favor.
• Consider more than one wall . Add the visual illusion of space, create a light or airy area, and add a luxurious feel to the walk-in closet with two or more mirrored walls.


If you don't want to cover an entire wall (or can't cover the full space), talk to the glass professional about other options. A contractor can custom cut a mirror to fit part of a wall.

Add Glass Shelves

Does your walk-in closet need extra storage space? Instead of the same wooden or board shelves everyone else has, consider custom cut glass. To create stylish yet functional glass shelves in your closet:

• Explore wall-mounted options . Wall-mounted glass shelves float above the floor and give your closet a fresh, clean look. This option is the ideal showcase for your handbags, shoes, and other accessories. You can also store folded T-shirts, sweaters, or other lightweight clothing on the shelves.
• Choose a stand - alone shelving unit . Do you want to reorganize your closet periodically? A mobile stand-alone glass shelving unit moves to fit these changes. Discuss sizing options with a contractor to store anything from smaller shoes to bulkier bedding items.
• Add an artistic design . Consider an artistic shelving design, such as a zigzag look or a geometric wall-mounted option.

You don't have to choose a completely clear material for your walk-in closet's glass shelves. A frosted, etched, or tinted type of glass creates a standout or luxurious aesthetic. Discuss these custom options with a qualified glass contractor to make the most of your room's new shelving upgrades.
