It’s only natural to see springtime as a time of renovation and rejuvenation —and as we all look to refresh our routines, we at 210 are also looking to help our clients and partners refresh the spaces we’re designing together (in ways both big and small).
A frequently under-considered area of the home is the closet. While most of our clients firmly understand and believe in the importance of top-of-the-line kitchen and bathroom organization and storage, closets are often left behind for their lack of guest visibility.
But even if you’re the only one seeing your closet, it still deserves to be as beautiful and functional as possible. As you embark on your own spring cleaning (and maybe even clear out some items from your wardrobe), consider your closet and the refreshes you can make within.
A Primary Closet That Sets the Tone for Your Day
No matter what your morning routine looks like, it likely involves getting dressed for the day. “Whatever time you wake up, you likely start your day in the primary closet,” says Senior Designer Alexander Adducci. “The aesthetics of the primary closet can set the mood before you head out for your day.”
To this end, it’s crucial to determine how you’d like the space to feel. With the right design, the space can feel calming and relaxing or inspiring and invigorating — so we take this into account when making all decisions moving forward, from colors and materials to the amount of mirrors and shelves.
Storage + Design Solutions for Every Wardrobe
Shelving needs vary from wardrobe to wardrobe, reinforcing the importance of customization. Whether it’s hanging dresses, stacking sweaters, or showcasing an extensive shoe collection, different clothing types call for tailored storage solutions. “One client specifically requested storage for 70+ pairs of shoes,” says Adducci. “So, of course, we made it happen.” MisuraEmme’s Palo Alto Architectural in types I-Box, Free, and Wall systems exemplify this, offering seamless integration and vertical configuration flexibility, along with a range of finishes designed to elevate both form and function.

Our brand partners’ latest innovations don’t just excel in functionality—they bring the same design precision you’d expect in every corner of the home. “When clients are after that luxe factor, we dive into high-end finishes, glass, metals, and more,” says Adducci. Crossing by MisuraEmme is a stand out example—a modular shelving system that’s as versatile as it is stylish. Totally adjustable along three dimensions, this sleek system can handle up to 400 kg—making it the perfect way to display your favorite books, art, or whatever treasures you’re looking to showcase in your living room, kitchen, or your own personal bedroom.

Lighting Your Closet for Function and Flair
Lighting plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of any room—including the closet. The right illumination can make getting dressed a seamless experience, while poor lighting can turn it into a daily frustration. Overhead lights can either be flattering or harsh, and dim lighting can feel cozy or inconvenient, all depending on the design choices. That’s why custom lighting solutions are key to creating a space that truly works for each client.
“Integrated lighting adds to the value of your closet,” says Adducci. This can take many forms—illuminated drawers that light up upon opening, adjustable sconces that shift with the time of day, or even lighting schemes tailored to complement dark versus light finishes. Thoughtful lighting doesn’t just add a luxurious touch—it ensures every outfit choice is effortless and every detail is seen in its best light.

What’s Next in Closet Design
While a closet’s visual appeal is essential, it’s the thoughtful details that truly take the space to the next level. “In addition to lighting and material customization, we’re seeing more clients incorporate scent diffusers, air fresheners, and at-home steaming solutions,” says Adducci. These small yet impactful additions transform the everyday routine into a luxurious experience—proving that the future of closet design is all about creativity, personalization, and a touch of indulgence.
