Northeast Florida’s Luxe-Looking Closets, No Matter Your Budget
Let’s face it: few things spark more envy or more joy than a beautifully organized closet. Whether you’re dreaming of a full walk-in makeover or simply want your current space to feel more polished and luxurious, a well-designed closet can elevate your daily routine and help you fall back in love with your wardrobe.
At Neu Spaces by Jenn, we specialize in turning cluttered, chaotic closets into calm, curated sanctuaries. From functional shelving to stunning display designs, we partner with top-notch contractors to build out the bones. Then, Jenn Neuman, our founder and lead designer, works her magic to bring everything together. The result? A closet that looks like it belongs in a magazine, without the high-end designer price tag.
Before: The “Just Make It Work” Closet
The client had a standard-sized walk-in with wire shelving, inconsistent storage bins, and a growing frustration that nothing ever stayed organized. Clothes were crammed onto hangers with little rhyme or reason, shoes were lost under piles of bags, and accessories sat forgotten in drawers. It was functional, but barely.
Sound familiar?
Jenn’s first step was assessing how the client used the space and identifying the biggest pain points. We brought in our trusted contract partner to do a custom buildout, replacing outdated shelving with clean, durable woodwork, a double-hang system for shirts and pants, dedicated shelving for handbags and shoes and drawers for smaller items like jewelry and watches.
But the real transformation happened in the design phase.
After: Elevated, Elegant and Entirely Doable
Once the buildout was complete, Jenn stepped in with her signature touch: practical organization that looks like high-end design.
Here’s how she made it happen—tips you can use, too:
1. Place With Purpose
Group items by category: workwear, casual, evening, workout gear, etc. Then assign each category a dedicated section of the closet. Place the most-used items at eye level and in the most accessible areas. Seasonal or less-used pieces can go up high or to the sides.
Pro tip: Keep a stylish step stool handy for those top shelves—and choose one that fits the aesthetic of your closet.
2. Hang Like a Pro
Use matching, slimline velvet hangers to instantly upgrade the visual appeal of your closet. They prevent clothes from slipping and help maintain consistency, which is a major visual trick to making your closet look luxe.
Hang garments by category and then by color, from light to dark. This color gradient not only helps you find things faster, but it gives your closet a boutique-like polish.
3. Fold Strategically
Some items, like jeans, sweaters, and workout clothes, are better folded than hung. Jenn recommends the vertical fold (think Marie Kondo) to maximize drawer space and keep things visible. Use dividers to keep stacks neat and prevent toppling.
Clear acrylic bins or baskets can also corral folded items while keeping everything in view. Choose neutral tones or textures that match your closet’s theme.
4. Shoes & Handbags: Together at Last
Displaying shoes and handbags together may not be the norm, but it is visually stunning. Shelving that accommodates both lets you style entire outfits in one glance.
Jenn staggered shoes heel-to-toe to create symmetry, and placed handbags upright, stuffed with tissue to maintain their shape. A few statement pieces were placed front and center—instant décor!
5. Showcase Your Accessories
Have a watch collection or favorite jewelry? Don’t hide it away.
Jenn used velvet-lined drawers with compartments to display the client’s watches like a jewelry store would. If drawer space is limited, use a tabletop display tray or shadow box with a glass lid.
Bonus: When you can see your accessories, you’re more likely to wear them.
6. Don’t Forget Lighting
The right lighting can elevate any closet. LED strip lights under shelving and a modern overhead fixture can brighten the space and highlight key features. Even battery-powered puck lights or stick-on strips can create a similar effect without hardwiring.
The End Result: Closet Goals, Achieved
With just the right mix of thoughtful buildout, clever placement, and eye-catching displays, this once-cluttered walk-in became a personal style sanctuary. The best part? It didn’t break the bank.
Jenn’s ability to make any space feel elevated—no matter the size or budget—is what sets Neu Spaces by Jenn apart in the Northeast Florida home organization scene. From small reach-ins to massive walk-ins, Jenn brings the same attention to detail and love of design to every closet she touches.
