Celebrity Shoe Closets

Get inspired these celebrity shoe closets! This is probably the most comprehensive guide on celebrity shoe closets, focusing on the actual design of the closet and storage style. There are so many great ideas- look at ALL the details, like Miley Cyrus's shoe closet...designed with ladder bookcases and bold accessories! And speaking about ladders, they are a huge trend in celebrity closets! All the available space is utilized completely to the top, so it can be accessed with a step stool or ladder.  Displaying your shoes on shelves so that they are visible instead of keeping them in boxes really does make them much easier to find!  Scroll all the way to the bottom to see Alfonsina Romero's own shoe closet! 

Kourtney Kardashian's Shoe Closet Koutney's closet is thoroughly designed with the right pops of color, from the red ladder to the orange boxes overhead!

Designing with Monaco Blue

Pantone's Monaco Blue

Monaco Blue was one of the popular Pantone colors seen on styles by top designers during fashion week. The color dominated the runways as on of the Spring 2013 top colors for fashion. 

Alfonsina Romero created an eclectic and complimentary design scheme inspired by Pantone’s Monaco Blue.  Alfonsina introduces the color into the room without letting it become over powering, breaking through browns, whites, silver accents and adding muted orange pieces.  Love the well balanced design? Click on the design to look at the individual furniture pieces used in this scheme along with where-to-buy information and prices on ProjectDecor.
