9 Lighting Options for Your Fabulous Closet System

It is not unusual for households to have poor or no lighting in their closets. Poor lighting can cause a closet to look dull, lackluster or even create frustration while looking for the perfect outfit for your big day or evening. Take your closet from drab to fabulous by adding lighting.

Lighting options

There are many options for fixing a dark closet by adding lighting to the room. What is your goal of adding lighting:

• Dramatic showcase
• Well-curated wardrobe
• Basic visibility in a tight space
• Create ambiance

Here are some lighting solutions

1. Natural Light

You can achieve this by having a window in your closet. Natural lighting is beautifully understated, and everyone looks great in natural light.

2. Chandelier

Want instant elegance in your master closet? Add a stunning piece of artwork in the form of a chandelier which will add a flair of drama along with high wattage lighting.

3. Bright White

You can use head-to-toe white in a closet to imitate real sunlight. White walls, white cabinetry, white lighting, white carpet or flooring, etc. will make it shine.

4. Warm Light

Use natural light from a window and a warm paint color on the walls to achieve a cozy warm space. You can add overhead custom track lighting with directional, low-wattage pendant lights.

5. Highlight High-Gloss Finishes

If you have a small space, use high-gloss white paint on your walls, shelves, and drawers which will make the area look wider and more inviting. Add sconces to illuminate the space and installing mini light sources in the corners.

6. Track Lighting

Use ample track lighting in a walk-in closet to highlight you’re the craftsmanship of the cabinets, shelves, and clothing like fine art.

Ribbon lighting is great to light up different dark areas that are hidden away. It gives your closet a department store “showroom” effect. Illuminate shelves with LED strip ribbon lighting which is useful for lighting under shelves or flat surfaces.LED lights are long-lasting, powerful, energy efficient, and generate a minimal amount of heat. There is both warm and cool LED lighting.
