This Forgotten Surface Is Now My Absolute Favorite Place to Paint a Bright, Unsuspecting Color — And Designers Agree

Image of a teal built-in closet with a skinny door that is open to reveal shelving painted in a bright orange color.

Interiors thrive when we embrace good design, even in the smallest of moments. The interior of a cupboard or closet is probably not something you've ever given much thought to, but what if we gave it the same attention as other, more obvious parts of the home? That's right — a coat of bright paint behind the doors of a cabinet, wardrobe, or cupboard can make these tucked-away spaces pop with life.

Painting your closet's interior is less about maximalism and more about making forgotten corners feel considered. It's a sign you really, really care. A shade of green or a sexy pop of red demonstrates intention and can actually reduce visual clutter. How, you ask? Rather than a place to hide, a bit of color brings visual cohesion — soon you'll be jumping at the chance to show off your closet's interior.
