At Derek James Woodworking, we believe that a well-designed closet can transform the way you start and end your day. Recently, we had the pleasure of creating a custom master walk-in closet for a client who wanted a space that was as beautiful as it was functional. We’re thrilled with the result—and more importantly, so are they!
The Vision
Our client came to us hoping to maximize storage in their master closet while keeping the space elegant and organized. They wanted a design that would blend seamlessly with their home’s style but also feel like a bit of a personal retreat.
Our goal was to deliver a layout that worked for their everyday needs—ample hanging space, plenty of drawers, and open shelving—while elevating the aesthetic with rich colors and thoughtful details.
The Design
We landed on a sophisticated combination of deep blue cabinetry and warm brass accents. We’re obsessed with this pairing, and it’s safe to say our client is too! The rich blue creates a bold statement, while the brass hardware and hanging rods add a touch of luxury and warmth.
We incorporated a range of storage solutions:
- Custom Drawers – Perfect for keeping smaller items organized and out of sight.
- Double Hanging Rods – Designed to maximize vertical space for shorter items like shirts and jackets.
- Full-Length Hanging Space – Ideal for dresses and longer garments.
- Open Shelving – Offering easy access to everyday essentials and display space for personal touches.
Natural light from the windows highlights the cabinetry’s color during the day, while recessed lighting ensures the space feels bright and welcoming at all times.
Why We Love This Closet
What we love most is how this closet balances beauty and functionality. It’s a space our client can enjoy daily, knowing it was built just for them. The blue and brass combo is a timeless yet modern pairing—one we’ll be recommending again for future projects!
