Missed the Marilyn Denis episode watch it online: http://www.marilyn.ca/AtHome/segments/Daily/July2015/7_9_2015/CreatingDreamCloset

We all dream of creating our dream closet, but it can be difficult to choose the products to do it.
Designer, Jo Alcorn, shares some of the items that can transform a dull space into a Hollywood star-worthy closet.

If you can spare the space why not transform an unused room into a spacious closet!
 

Every space needs a wow factor whether its statement pieces, colour, accents 

• Use inspirational piece like flashy, bright wallpaper
• Opt for functional yet practical and stylish pieces
• A custom built-in closet system can work wonders for maximizing your space
• Identify different hanging areas for specific areas and organize each one
• Black felted hangers prevent clothing from falling off so that everything looks pristine
• Colour blocking your closet acts as its own decoration
• Install a full length mirror so you can see your outfit from head to toe
• A nice chair makes trying on shoes easy

Think outside of the box for clever ways to store items

• Umbrella can hold yoga mats, shoe horns, etc…

• Vintage suitcases look stunning stacked together and create extra storage 

• Screw the bottom of a paint can on the wall and put your shoes in them plus it turns your wall into an art piece
• A kitchen rod can serve as a necklace stand

• Use a towel rack for shoe storage to showcase them beautifully or as an accessory hanger
