IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SHOES
Yarrow Point resident Sun Chaney's closet features wood-paneled cabinets with ample drawers and hanging racks, plus special drawers for jewelry, shelves for handbags and hats, and her husband’s clothes, a washer and dryer, and a hidden laundry hamper. A circular window at one end offers a view of Yarrow Bay, and a round upholstered ottoman provides a comfortable seat under a modern chandelier.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SHOES
The closet features four rolling shoe racks that glide on rails in front of the closet’s hanging racks and drawers. The variable-height shelves are each wide enough for three pairs of heels, with the bottom shelf reserved for boots.

DESIGNED FOR A MAN
Interior designer Rick Baye’s own closet features all of his must-haves for the perfect closet plus a skylight for natural light, works of art (painting, photography, and sculpture), and open bays—with no doors.

DESIGNED FOR A MAN
The 200-square-foot space sits between the master bedroom and bath, with cabinets made of sapele wood. Instead of wall mounting the full-length mirror, Baye put one on the pocket door between the closet and bath. “It maximizes storage and display space, and you’re not always looking at yourself,” he explains.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
The movie Sex and the City inspired this closet created by interior designer Cheri Wentworth. Hidden behind a mirrored door in the bath is a 200-square-foot dressing room finished in black lacquer. Its floor-to-ceiling cabinets are fitted with drawers, shelves, and hanging racks, as well as shoe racks (hers a full wall; his 10 shelves high and three pairs wide).

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
Wentworth’s client, who often spends months traveling, wanted her house to feel like a retreat when she returned home. The designer complied with a master suite
she calls “a contemporary version of Hollywood glamour.”

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
The master bath in this Lacey home is a sexy spa with black fixtures, a white leather footstool, smoke-colored tiles, a steam shower, a circular tub that fills from the ceiling, a modern, wall-mounted fireplace, and a red glass chandelier.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
A center island has a dark charcoal quartz top embedded with white and silver flecks, topped by a twinkling linear crystal chandelier. The floor is carpeted in a white-on-black pattern reminiscent of starbursts from a mirror ball. “That carpet brings light into the room, even when the lights are off,” Wentworth explains.
