Apart from the dark drama of the Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon Netflix series, Sirens, we were most taken by the show's stunning interiors. In particular, Michaela Kell's (played by Julianne) walk-in closet.

The glass-front wardrobe is appealing because it houses an impressive collection of Lily Pulitzer dresses, yes, but also because its transparency makes the space feel elevated and glamorous. Needless to say, it's giving us some walk-in closet ideas.

It turns out that this highly accessible and luxurious form is right on trend – and we got expert insight into the dos and don'ts of maintaining a glass-enclosed closet.

According to design insiders, glass-front closets act as not only a luxe statement, but also present as an opportunity to display objects and organize items meticulously.

'In recent years, one trend that has steadily gained momentum is glass-fronted wardrobes,' explains Philipp Nagel, director at Neatsmith.

'The sleek, modern aesthetic of glass-fronted wardrobes can serve as a focal point in bedroom decor. Wardrobes are no longer just dull storage; they are integral elements of interior design schemes. Glass-fronted wardrobes offer an opportunity to showcase one's fashion sense and organizational skills. From neatly arranged clothing to curated displays of accessories, these closets invite inhabitants to exhibit their personal style.'

The practicality lies in the ability to see exactly what is going on in the closet (whereas closed-door closets can often become untidy).

'Unlike traditional solid-door wardrobes, glass-fronted wardrobes provide clear visibility of the contents inside,' Philipp explains.

'This makes it easier to locate specific items without the need to open multiple doors, saving time and effort. Plus, glass has a reflective quality that can make a room appear larger and brighter by bouncing light around the space. In smaller rooms or apartments, glass-fronted wardrobes can create the illusion of more space, making the area feel more open and airy.'

With that in mind, try to invest in stylish yet impactful storage solutions, such as velvet hangers and collapsible cubes. Regardless, if you want a Sirens-worthy closet, glass-fronted exteriors are the way to go.

'Glass fronted wardrobes, like our reflex glass, are as practical as they are visually captivating,' Philipp states.

'Whether you’re looking to make a small space feel larger or make a grand statement with your walk-in wardrobe, glass doors have a timeless quality that ensures they remain stylish for years to come. Unlike trends that come and go, glass-fronted wardrobes have enduring appeal.'
