Martha Stewart Living Master Bedroom Closet Makeover
I was asked to share a Martha Stewart Living at The Home Depot Closet System makeover on my blog and while our master bedroom closet system was fine, you can bet I agreed to install a Martha Stewart Living at The Home Depot Closet System!
The process started with measuring out the closet and inputting the dimensions into MarthaStewartClosets.com. There are three colors to choose from – Classic White, Espresso, and Wild Cherry. I chose Espresso and ‘built’ the closet in the closet design system. I love all the extras and add-ons that are available – hampers, belt and tie racks, sliding wardrobe rods, shoe shelves. The closet design system was so easy (and fun!) to use.
This is one of the 3 walls in our master bedroom closet that I designed.
The process is simple. Design your space, order it online or pick it up at your local Home Depot. The installation definitely requires quite a bit of time, a trusty level, and power tools, but the quality of products is great and the instructions are thorough and easy to follow. (I did have professional help with the installation and makeover.)
Here’s a before picture of our master bedroom closet – nice, but the wire shelving wasn’t working well with the large space, so there was a lot of wasted space.
The first step was to completely clear the closet and remove the wire shelving. I also wanted a fresh coat of paint on the walls too. I went with a lighter shade of the master bedroom and bathroom color and we added a new light fixture.
Here’s the completed closet system from left to right around the closet…..
Once everything was installed and in place it was time to organize the space and put everything away. We are still working on getting the space just how we want it but it’s working great so far. I can’t believe how nice it is to have drawers in a closet system – it definitely helps to keep it all organized. Here are a couple more pictures showing how everything fit back together.

I wish a had a closet like yours! The makeover looks wonderful.
Any suggestions for tiny closets? 🙂 I love these large organizational systems but my tiny bedroom closet isn’t a walk in and is actually rather small.

Can I ask what your closet dimensions are? I’m trying to visualize if I could work something like this into our master closet.
We also currently have the wire shelving.
Thank you for sharing! It looks beautiful!

Oh I love it! We’ve been looking at the closet system at Home Depot and this seals the deal for me. 😀
Do you mind sharing your paint colors used for the closet and bedroom?
Nadia Says
I’m currently use the wire shelving, and yeah, there’s a lot of wasted space.. Your closet makeover makes me feels like changing mine too. Love it!
kat Says
Maybe I should just turn the guest bedroom into a master closet, LOL! Seriously though I bet I could work something like this into my office/other guest bedroom that would really help!!
Jennifer Says
I, too, love my (3) hampers! I organized them as regular, delicate and dry clean since my husband has to dress up every day for work. No matter how much or how little space you have, it helps to think about your belongings and put order to them. Well organized and utilized closets help keep the rest of the house neat. Also, we didn’t have to buy a dresser because we put drawers in our closet!

Nice, but could you show wizardry with standard 2 foot depth closets of ordinary, 30 year old homes for the rest of us?? I fought with contractors at the time, that these were ridiculous, hardly a hanger-width, and was corrected that these are “standard closet dimensions”, so that’s all we got, throughout our home. This closet is larger than the average bedroom.

Either way a person has to be creative with the use of space – but it’s easier when there’s more of it.
Jen Says
Hello! How have these shelves held up? I’m considering them for our bedroom closet, but I’m concerned about how they only hang from the metal bar. Any signs of sagging or stress over the past few years?

Post authorThey’ve held up beautifully, I have no concerns and there are NO signs of aging!

Hi.
I am in process of making our smallest room a dressing room.. I am having issues with the corners. It looks like you butted the units together without alot of extra space.. do the clothing fit?
I had someone tell me I needed to leave 24 inches for clothes?? I felt the width of the units was enough..
Thanks so much
Your closet looks stunning
b r Says
Post authorThanks! Yes, everything fits beautifully!
danielle arnone Says
So you put the hanging clothing units right up against one another??
That is great if you did because I would lose a ton of space if I gave the 24 inches I was told to allow..
Thank u so much.
danielle arnone Says
Hi. So you just put the cabinets for hanging right up against one another. In the corners??
Sorry to be a pain.. I am so excited to do this project.. I dont want to make myself nuts..
Thanks so much
