One area of the home that is important but might not get the most attention are the closets. While closets aren\u2019t a main focal point unless it\u2019s a luxurious walk-in. It\u2019s still nice to give them a fresh look from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Color Combinations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First and foremost, selecting the right color for your size closet is imperative. For smaller closets you\u2019ll want to select a light neutral color. This is so that when you put clothes inside it doesn\u2019t end up looking too dark. If your closet doesn\u2019t have a window or very good lighting, it is best to choose a bright color to lighten up the space. If you want to downplay the closet as more utilitarian storage you could choose a darker color.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1582 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"colored closet\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-1440x959.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-960x639.jpg 960w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1286\/2021\/08\/jordi-pujadas-6Ju76xzahY-unsplash-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Accent Walls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to completely paint the entire closet. Maybe you want to just start with a fun accent wall. You could use a bright, bold color or install temporary wallpaper. It\u2019s best to make sure that this wall is exposed so you can see the accent.

There are matte, sheen, high gloss finishes. Which one you select can be based on personal preference or closet lighting. The matte finish might be nice for closets that get a ton of light. In addition, a sheen or gloss might be better for darker closet that need more reflective light.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Match Colors to Other Closets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes consistency is key.
