These closet design innovations range from in-closet lighting strips to trouser-organizing accessories.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, many are tackling home organization and improvement projects thanks to more free time spent at home. Whether helping consumers re-organize their wardrobes or transforming dressing areas into luxe spaces, these products make any closet more functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Standouts include Luminook's convenient light strip product, first unveiled at CES 2020. Ideal for renters, the light strips are easy to install, and are perfect for illuminating closet doors and shelving, cabinets and other areas that are dimly lit. Bosch's BML100Pl projector is another examples designed to make wardrobes smarter. First unveiled at CES 2019, the device aims to make it easier for users to "arrange their clothes, pick outfits and even check the weather."
