vtwonenMaybe the kids have left home and you finally have room for that coveted walk-in closet, or maybe you’re just a lucky person with an unused room in the house. Whatever your situation: if you dream of a walk-in closet, but not the price tag that comes with it, then read on: vtwonen.be shows how you can build such a dream space yourself with an amount of 500 euros.
Shelving units
You often have to pay a lot of money for a large and spacious wardrobe. Much less for an open shelving system. An even cheaper option? Create such an open cupboard system yourself using shelving units or storage racks. Shelving units are usually inexpensive and available in different materials and colors.
Costs: you can even buy shelving units for less than 20 euros, but on average the cabinets cost around 50 euros each. For sufficient storage space you need at least two, especially if you have a large collection of sweaters, pants or shoes. So count on roughly 100 euros for the shelving units.
Extra tip: don’t like the color? Then you can always use a spray can to give the shelving unit the desired color. This of course results in additional costs. For fun and extra options to get rid of junk, place storage baskets in the cupboard.
Painting with a spray can: this is how you do it flawlessly.
Clothes racks
In addition to shelves, you also need clothing racks on which you can hang beautiful dresses, shirts and trousers.
Costs: clothing racks come in all shapes and sizes. Because the rack will have a permanent place in the walk-in closet, it is best to choose a sturdy model. You often pay a little more for this, but collapsed clothing racks are really a no-no in a stylish wardrobe. Count around 50 euros for a single clothes rack and double that if you need two.
You can also choose to attach wooden broom handles or round sticks between the two shelving units. Or hang them on ropes that you attach to the ceiling. Hang them at two different heights to accommodate extra clothes. In this case you will spend at most 10 euros for a clothes rack.

Chests of drawers
There are some items you don’t want to see in such a chic walk-in closet. For example, think of underwear and socks. Then a chest of drawers comes in handy. These cupboards are also useful if you have other items that (at the moment) have no direct purpose in the cupboard, such as the winter or summer wardrobe during the summer or winter.
Costs: a chest of drawers is not always cheap. Although you can go to a well-known Scandinavian home furnishing giant for an affordable model. Would you prefer a more unique piece? Score a second-hand copy via Marktplaats or at the local thrift store. Set aside about 100 euros for a large sized chest of drawers.
Want to store your shoes – even if there are a lot of them – in style? Five ways to make that happen.
Lamps
Surface-mounted spotlights are the perfect lamps for a walk-in closet, because you can direct the lamps individually. For example, you can shine a number of lights on the cabinets to see the contents clearly. In addition, point a lamp at the mirror to properly admire the end result of the outfit.
Costs: lamps are available in all kinds of designs. Assume ceiling spotlights on a rail system with a minimum of three lamps. This way you can sufficiently illuminate almost all corners of the room. You will spend an average of 50 euros for such a ceiling spotlight.
Spiegel
A nice full-length mirror is a must in a walk-in closet. After all, you want to be able to see how you are walking before you step outside.
Costs: full-length mirrors are obviously a lot more expensive than a simple, round wall mirror. For a mirror of a pleasant size, you should count on about 50 euros of the budget.
Accessories
Of course, clothes, shoes and accessories provide the necessary content for this walk-in closet, but a little decoration never hurts to add atmosphere. Think of a nice poster or a houseplant.
Costs: the budget for accessories is freely selectable. Do you have little money left after creating the walk-in closet? Take a stroll through the thrift store for a few paintings, a rug or items that you can hang on the wall.
Would you like to organize your wardrobe efficiently and neatly? This is the secret.
Total cost
All in all, you will spend around 450 to 500 euros for a complete walk-in closet. So you can see that a makeover does not have to be expensive. The exact total cost will of course depend on the choice of brand, quality and type you require per product.
Do you want to reduce costs even more? Then look for second-hand pearls or products that you already have at home. For example, give an old chest of drawers a lick of paint and it will look like new again.
