Some closets are more like museums for clothing and accessories. However, in this type of highly stylized storage space, it's essential to strike a balance between form and function. Laverne Cox achieves this perfect equilibrium in her beautiful closet.
The actress's closet storage prioritizes displaying her enviable handbag collection with tall, white-painted built-ins. Tall mirrors, black handles, and glass cabinets provide wonderful space for getting ready and displaying clothing and accessories. Experts say it's the perfect way to store purses.
Juliana Melamed, professional organizer and owner of Full Service Living, states, 'Laverne's custom walk-in closet is both beautiful and functional. The floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet doors allow her to display her coveted purse collection, as well as keep it safe from excessive light and dust.'
Furthermore, the built-in closet organizers used to display Laverne's purses have benefits for the longevity of her bags.
'One organizational choice Laverne Cox has made in her purse storage is using shelves to showcase her purses as opposed to hooks,' professional organizer Barbara Brock comments. 'This technique provides for maintaining the integrity of a purse. She has installed glass doors for easy viewing and protection of the items.'
For those who are keen to recreate the actress's clothes storage ideas, Barbara Brock has thoughts. She says, 'Other tips when organizing purses include storing purses in individual dust bags, avoiding overstuffing handbags, and using internal purse organizers to keep items.
She continues, 'I also recommend keeping purses away from direct sunlight and maintaining a consistent environment to prevent color fading, which Laverne is doing herself.'
'One other strategy is to organize purses by categorizing them based on size, color, or style,' says Barbara. She says, 'Use clear storage containers or shelves, such as Laverne, to easily spot and access each purse. Regularly assess and rotate your collection for variety.'
These easy assemble purse organizers are perfect for if you don't have built-ins or just want more space to store your bags. Like Laverne Cox's organization, they preserve the integrity of the bags.
Purse storage can be difficult to figure out, but the perfect method ensures that your favorite bags will last a lifetime. Just look at Laverne Cox's closet.
