When you graduate from a doored closet to a walk-in and yet again to a dressing room, your sartorial options jump from cramped collection to full-blown style gallery. Take the fashion site The Coveteuras an indicator of the popularity surrounding closets—since the site debuted, the founders have showcased over 800 closets (and counting). From floor-to-ceiling shelving to endless mirrors to boutique-influenced displays, the potential for showing off your watch collection or love of footwear is endless. And let’s not forget: if the closets are spectacular, the homes are too. Here are a selection of homes whose cladding suits the contents.

The Custom Closet, Johns Creek, Georgia

Paul Wegener, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty

In any regular custom-built home full of bespoke features and stunning stonework, an ordinary closet might struggle to hold its own. Not so in this Norman Davenport Askins-designed estate nestled in the Country Club of the South. The former residence of living baseball legend and Hall of Fame inductee Tom Glavine, this property boasts its own baseball field and batting cage. Indoors, soaring ceilings and architectural interest abound, but you may find yourself drawn back to this closet of dreams, its soothing taupe spanning shoe closets, a library ladder, built-in dressers, and ample room for displaying handbags. No longer an afterthought, the design evident in this spacious storage space is definitely major leagues.
