Closet design has evolved significantly over the years. Today, numerous options cater to every taste and preference, from modern and sleek designs to classic and timeless transitional styles.

In the May 21 webinar on Closet Styles & Finishes, Closets & Organized Storage Editor Michaelle Bradford will be in conversation with Christian Russell, co-owner of Ruffino Custom Closets (New Orleans, Louisiana), on the latest materials and innovative techniques for creating today’s stunning designs.

Russell, a Top Shelf Design Awards winner, says he is seeing a surge in the popularity of sleek, modern designs, particularly in urban areas. However, traditional preferences in his area are also gradually shifting towards contemporary styles, even in less urban regions. Clients are increasingly open to experimenting with finishes, with white remaining a popular choice alongside trends in woodgrain and two-tone palettes.

Lighting also transforms closet spaces, with Russell citing it as a critical factor in creating ambiance and enhancing the overall design. He says clients prioritize their primary closets early in the planning stages of construction projects, underscoring the recognition of closets as essential home design elements.

Join us on May 21 to learn more about the broader trends in design styles and finishes. By staying attuned to emerging trends and leveraging innovative materials and technologies, designers and homeowners can elevate closets to stylish sanctuaries of organization and design.
