Illuminate Your Closet Dreams: How Lighting Transforms a Walk-In into a Retreat

A walk-in closet isn’t just a place to store clothing—it’s a personal sanctuary, a daily destination, and a reflection of one’s lifestyle. Zest & Honey Interior Design Studio understands this better than most. This small but passionate interior design firm is known for creating beautiful, functional spaces that inspire everyday living.

Whether working on a new build or a renovation, the Zest & Honey team understands the mix of excitement and concerns that come with any design project. That’s why they offer a variety of personalized services designed to support each client’s unique needs—from early-stage planning through to the final finishing touches. Their mission is to make every step feel seamless, creative, and collaborative.

At the heart of their design philosophy is a deep understanding of how people live in—and respond to—their spaces. When it comes to walk-in closets, they don’t just see a storage solution; they see an opportunity to create a luxurious, light-filled retreat.

The Power of Light in a Personal Space

Zest & Honey takes a thoughtful approach to every project, but lighting is one of the most transformative tools in their design process. A well-lit closet can elevate both function and feeling—bringing warmth, sophistication, and clarity to a space people use every day.

Here’s how they bring that vision to life:

Maximizing Natural Light

When possible, the studio enhances existing windows with soft, tailored coverings that welcome daylight into the space. These treatments preserve privacy while filling the room with natural light—making morning routines more enjoyable and the entire closet feel fresh and open.

Layered Artificial Lighting

A layered lighting strategy is essential. Zest & Honey thoughtfully combines ambient lighting for overall brightness, task lighting for grooming and outfit selection, and accent lighting to add character and warmth. This thoughtful mix ensures the closet is not only practical, but also atmospheric and visually inspiring.

Reflective Surfaces for Depth and Light

Mirrors are integrated not just as functional elements, but as design tools. They help reflect light throughout the space, expand the room’s perceived size, and add a touch of sophistication.

From Vision to Reality

Zest & Honey works closely with each client to understand their vision and lifestyle, crafting bespoke designs that feel both deeply personal and professionally curated. From the initial concept to final installation, their commitment is clear: to deliver exceptional design with a seamless, enjoyable experience.

Whether reimagining a single closet or redesigning an entire home, their process is collaborative, creative, and centered on the client.
