I can’t believe I have never shared my entertaining closet with you all! I love this space so much because it helps me stay organized and creative!
It is actually a space that almost didn’t happen. While reviewing the floor plan of our home before construction, I noticed a “dead space” in the middle. After chatting with our builder, Tony and I decided to use the space for a walk-in storage closet. Not yet knowing what we would store in it, we had our builder simply add open shelves to the side and back wall for us.
At first the closet was kind of a catch-all. I always had some decorative items in it, but in the beginning, most were seasonal. I also stored candles, pet supplies, sewing supplies, and other random items inside.
A few years ago, I realized I could turn this space into a closet for extra decorative items and entertaining pieces. Then last winter, we had it painted white and I completely reorganized it.
It is so nice to be able to see all of the items I have stored in here at once.
Now, please join me for a tour of my entertaining closet!
I wanted our entertaining closet to look beautiful and tidy. To achieve this, I color-coordinated my pieces and grouped them into categories.
The back wall shelves house my ginger jars and vases. I paid extra attention to this wall, because it is the focal point of the closet. I wanted it to look especially pretty.
Just to the right of the back wall, I have blue glassware, cake stands, and additional vases.
The next section holds some of my blush colored entertaining pieces.
I also have a spot for some gold decor.
Marble cheese boards fit here too.
These shelves are deeper than the ones further back in the closet, so they hold more items.
Pillows fill the section closest to the closet door. Also, pillow covers without their inserts are folded here.
Finally, in order to store faux flowers neatly, I placed them in baskets on the floor.
As I trade out decorative pieces, the shelves look different, but there is plenty of room to store items and view the contents. Just being able to stand inside and see everything at once helps me be creative.
Here is one last look!

Oh my! Just when I thought I couldn’t love your home any more than I already do, you show us THIS!! It’s like having your own boutique to shop for change-ups. Truly impressed.
You are so sweet of you Richelle! I am thrilled that you like the closet! xoxo
What a great idea you had to use the wasted space! And the inside is beautifully curated. Looks more like a display area than a typical closet. How wonderful to be able to see what you have and not have to haul storage tubs around! You rocked this one for sure.
Thank you Jae! It has been nice to have the storage space, and I love it a million times more now that it looks presentable! Thanks so much for stopping by! xo
You are so fortunate to have that storage space. It makes it easy to see all your pieces at once when it’s time to refresh your spaces. You have everything displayed so pretty.
Thank you Joanna! Once I designated this space for decorative and entertaining pieces, the first thing I realized was how convenient it is to see everything at once. I’m very grateful for the space. Thanks again!
How lovely to have a place like that to store your beautiful things. I think I’d throw a pillow on the floor and just sit there awhile and absorb the color. Sort of a get-away place to hide.!
SO good!
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Karen! I have definitely taken a moment hide in here on occasion!
Be still my heart ! I love that closet and the contents. If only we had so much room.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Myrna! xo
I am in love with this space and so jealous! I wish I had such a pretty closet, I’d sit in here all day! Just gorgeous my friend.
