Place this Hooker Furniture Bedroom Skyline Bench in the middle of the walk-in closet to complete the look.<\/p><\/div>\n

There was a point in time \u2013 believe it or not \u2013 when humans did not store their clothing inside closets. The walk-in closet, no matter how glamorous, was not always in existence; in fact, it just took form in the recent years.<\/p>\n

Wardrobe History <\/strong><\/p>\n

As textiles and clothing technology evolved, worn clothing became a lot easier to manufacture, hence, there was an increase in cabinets\u2019 decorative qualities. More and more people saw the need to own sets of clothing and these, of course, needed storage solutions.<\/p>\n

Different cultures showed different progression in terms of clothing storage. Ancient Egyptians, for instance, stored their clothing inside woven baskets that were made out of reeds. Makes you think of Moses and where he was placed into as a baby, right? The wealthy used alabaster chests instead of these not-so-durable baskets.<\/p>\n

The wealthy Greeks, on the other hand, kept their clothes inside wooden chests. The Romans also used the same material for their chests but they took the design further by inventing the walk-in closet of sorts with their armorium<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This basic wooden box used to be carried everywhere to transport the Romans\u2019 weapons and armors. This box evolved to become an expensive, ornate chest that the wealthy wanted to keep.<\/p>\n

The Birth of Walk-in Closets <\/strong><\/p>\n

During the 1870s, hanging rods were eventually installed inside wardrobes. Ancient hangers soon followed and it was around 1880 when, in Dakota, an apartment building finally showed some reach-in closets. These were specifically designed for clothes.<\/p>\n

It is not that easy to prove the exact point when walk-in closets came into its full existence. European monarchs had so many clothes that can fit into entire rooms so it was just a matter of time before someone realized that the solution is a storage room and not mere closet.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., specifically in Park Avenue showed a new level of cabinetry where electrical outlets, locked doors and shelves come aplenty.<\/p>\n

Going back to the \u201850s, the closets became more popular with a lot of lower to middle class homes requiring these as a standard part of their homes. A few authorities suggested that the suburban moves brought about the onset of big closets.<\/p>\n

In the \u201880s, the revolutionary walk-in closet became more popular with the closet industry soaring ever higher. Most walk-in closets have been born in pop culture, with one being featured on Mariah Carey\u2019s appearance in the show Cribs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Style <\/strong><\/p>\n

Be sure to continue your style from your bedroom or the bathroom to your walk-in closet. Pick complementary colors for your paint, accessories and art pieces. Be sure to achieve a smooth flowing style throughout the rooms.<\/p>\n

Should you have a contemporary bedroom, then be sure to keep the finishes of your walk-in closet in the same hue but with a different shade or tone.<\/p>\n

And Then There Was Light <\/strong><\/p>\n

Storage within a Storage <\/strong><\/p>\n
You can get creative by having decorative hooks installed in your walk-in closet. Place additional storage boxes or woven baskets to hold accessories such as scarves or belts. Handbags and shoes can be used as decorative elements on their own. Hat boxes as well as fabric shoeboxes are also practical ways to store items.<\/p>\n
