If we’ve learned anything from Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City and And Just Like That , it’s that the dreamiest closets can be achieved in tiny studio apartments and luxe condo penthouses alike. From an edgy hot pink condo closet designed by Cynthia Ferguson to an airy showhome dressing room by Brian Gluckstein, step inside some of the best closets seen inside the pages of H&H.
“We’ve always liked the idea of shopping our closet and spared no expense on making this our dream space,” says designer Curtis Elmy of the moody dressing room in his Saskatoon penthouse.

Iconic handbags and shoes are on full display in this walk-in closet that feels like a designer store. “We created little moments of Shaker style to add texture in the closet, but it’s all simple and clean-lined, using the same material,” says designer Maxime Vandal of Les Ensembliers of this closet.

Designer Cynthia Ferguson paid homage to Rayner Conway’s 1980s-era pink, bejeweled cowboy boots by painting her dressing room in a matching hue. Cynthia widened the entry to the bubblegum pink closet by removing the door and opening it up to the ceiling.
