Unearthing the Inner Dressing Room
Mia Pollard’s bedroom closet in Brooklyn was packed so tight, she could barely wedge in another hanger. “The rod was starting to bend—I was afraid it would snap,” says Mia. Purging came first, then shifting a few pieces to her dresser. Finally, zones were crafted for clothes, purses, shoes, accessories, and makeup.
Before: Crammed With Clothes
Sweaters, dresses, and tops were crammed together (many hadn’t been worn in years). Shoes were piled on the floor—some loose, some in boxes—and purses teetered on top of the footwear. Sweaters overflowed from bins. Dry-cleaner bags (which can trap fumes and harm clothes) made it hard to see what was what.

After: Neat Nooks
Starting fresh included white paint, cream rug tiles, and a new aluminum bar. Bulky shoe boxes were ditched. Now Mia’s most used pairs stay in floor cubbies, while dressier options live in clear boxes up top (they hinge open in front). Mia used to put on makeup while standing at her mirrored doors; a new wall-mounted vanity is a more comfortable place to primp. The white storage ottoman, which conceals workout clothes, tucks under the vanity but blends in with Mia’s decor if left out. The room doesn’t get much natural light, so a battery-powered spotlight mounted under the upper shelf lets Mia distinguish her black pants from her navy ones.
