If you open your wardrobe doors to find an environment that feels like an interrogation room or a black hole — well, you can do better. The goal is to find a lighting solution that helps maximize your wardrobe’s potential as useful storage and also makes it the most attractive space it can be within your home. The good news is that it’s easier than ever to make both of those things happen simply and at an affordable price.

To find the best wardrobe light ideas, we reached out to the pros to learn how to choose wardrobe light fixtures that make the space safe (i.e., not a fire hazard), bright, and functional. Here’s how to choose the best wardrobe lighting, according to interior design experts.

And what's the best light fixture for wardrobes?

While Strasen suggests battery-operated or rechargeable light fixtures in situations where hard wiring a light fixture is cost prohibitive. However, the added expense for hard wiring can be worth it. “A hard-wired light fixture offers more flexibility since you don't have to depend on an outlet and it’s always nice to not be concerned with batteries or recharging a fixture,” she says.

Zachos agrees when considering the tradeoff. “I think a battery-powered light or pendant that is plugged into the wall is best in reading nooks or art accent lighting — an area where you aren’t using it every day,” she says. “Otherwise I think it is worth the investment to have an electrician install a hardwired light.”

She also suggests another option that costs little but offers a great solution: LED tape lighting. “The color temperature can be selected, and it’s a very affordable option,” she says.

The tape can be run along a door frame or up above wardrobe shelving — and some even come with remote controls. “Since it is LED, it can last a lot longer than a fluorescent or battery-operated light. And they can be concealed, so it is a nice accent for a smaller wardrobe.”

Strasen is another fan of LED strip lights. “You can stick them anywhere and cut them to the length you need… Just make sure you secure the plug somewhere easily accessible so you can turn them on and off. They do require a plug, but the cables are often thin so you can snake the cord outside your wardrobe to the nearest outlet.”

How to make sure your lighting is safe?

Of course, no matter which choice you make with bulbs and fixtures, you’ll want to keep safety a top priority. “Although the regulations vary, it’s always a good idea to allow at least 12 inches of space between a light fixture and the items being stored if you want to play it extra safe,” Strasen says. “Most building code regulations require that you stay away from exposed or bare bulbs as well. When in doubt, consult an electrician or the latest version of the National Electrical Code.”

Zachos gives a simple rule of thumb. “Any fixture that has an exposed bulb can get too hot," she says. "It is best to use a light fixture that is concealed with a glass or cover.”
