NEXT-LEVEL CLOSET LADDERS

Closets come in all shapes and sizes. So, when I’m designing closets that have a height advantage, I like to optimize the verticality of the space, especially if there are other capacity constraints. That means pieces of a client’s wardrobe can be six, seven, eight or more feet high off the ground. To help clients reach their items that hover high above their heads, I often incorporate clever places to conceal a very handy closet accessory -- a step stool! Traditionally, step stools have been pedestrian and unexciting. But, but over the years I’ve found some pretty sexy stools in a variety of aesthetics that do their job and look good, too! Here are a few designer favorites!


This clever stool features a cast iron tripod base with a wider footprint for optimal stability, making it great for grabbing a hard-to-reach handbag or sitting to put on shoes.


Chic chair meets elegant step stool, making this the ultimate statement-making accessory to accompany a well-designed dressing room. 


Lightweight, compactable and portable, this stool works as well in the closet as it does in the kitchen.


This sleek stool has won numerous awards and it's easy to see why with its Japanese design, contemporary aluminum craftsmanship and hidden fasteners.


Though this is on the pricier side, the stylish stool is as much a piece of art as it is a height-helper! 


Thanks to the peg included in the delivery this foldable Step Ladder can be stowed away in a space saving way by hanging it on the wall.


The ladder with a height of 45 cm is made of powder-coated steel and is available in different colours. Optionally, the two-step ladder is also available with oak wood on the steps. The wood gives a warm touch to the treads and thus balances the cool and industrial looking steel.
