Sydney Sweeney's Closet Is a Masterclass in Clothes Storage

Sydney Sweeney’s walk-in closet is the epitome of stylish yet functional storage. A mirror selfie shared on Instagram gives a glimpse of the space’s visual yet pragmatic design. Interior design experts call it a “masterclass” in modern closet design.

Sweeney’s storage closet features a wall-mounted mirrored cabinet and a white and wood chest of drawers for storing accessories. The main material is natural wood, which appears on the floors, walls, and ceiling. A black and white boucle ottoman adds a touch of texture to the room. In addition to the closet’s window, the entire space is illuminated by warm, recessed LED lights for a modern warmth.

“Sydney Sweeney’s modern closet is a masterclass in clothing storage,” says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes and gardens.

“The variety of clothing storage spaces, from the closet to the dresser to the ottoman, which likely has storage space inside, ensures that all of Sweeney’s clothes will fit in this space. Having a place for everything helps keep things organized and makes it easier to know where they are.”

The aesthetics of this space are as strong as its functional benefits, thanks in large part to the use of natural wood. Ebert says, “It’s no surprise that natural wood has become an increasingly on-trend material in recent years. It’s naturally grounded in the earth, and the natural grains add warmth and texture in a neutral way that goes with everything. It’s especially effective in a closet, where the outfits, not the wall color, should be the center of attention.”

Sweeney’s dressing room lighting design sets it apart even more. First, she took the designer’s advice and included a window in her dressing room (you can tell by the slight shadow on the left side of the room). This fills the room with natural light, making it the perfect setting for applying makeup, checking out outfits outside, and taking photos. The rest of the lights are recessed, bringing a modern museum energy to her space. This lighting option offers the warmth of lamps without taking up space.
