Having a walk-in closet can produce more benefits than just a place to hang your clothes. If you do your makeup and hair in this area, it can quickly become a go-to girl's hangout when you have friends over. As The Zoe Report points out, this trend is quickly becoming popular. In addition, according to Organized Interiors, as long as your closet is organized, you'll be able to locate what you need quickly as well as put clothes away easily. In return, this can relieve unnecessary stress that would otherwise be caused by having a messy space.

When the time comes for you to update your walk-in closet, there is plenty to consider. For starters, you have to decide exactly what you want to accomplish. Are you trying to turn a previously boring closet into a girl's club or do you want to style it based on organization and ease of access? Once you get these main points sorted out, you then get the privilege of shopping for the items you want to include in this new space. Whether you're looking to simply add extra lighting or invest in all new décor, here are 15 must-haves to update your joyfully organized walk-in closet.

If your closet is big enough, it would be convenient to add in a seating area of some sort. This way, you have a place to sit to strap on your shoes and your friends have a place to relax. For a little over $500, you can nab this sleek grey velvet sofa from Amazon. 

Similar to lighting, you can never have enough mirrors in your walk-in closet either. After all, you need to see yourself and your outfits from many different angles. If space allows, Amazon sells this large 71-inch tall and 32-inch wide mirror for around $400. It has a metal black frame and comes with a stand. 

Closet flooring varies; while some may have carpet installed, others may have hardwood. If you have the latter, you may want to invest in a rug to make the area more comfortable for your feet. You can find this adorable and shaggy 5-foot by 8-foot area rug on Amazon for $57. 

Of course, it's common for many people to leave their clothes hamper in the laundry room. However, it might make life a little bit easier if you have one in your closet as well. For only $14, Amazon offers this collapsible black hamper that contains two hooks you can hang over a doorway.

If you have a walk-in closet, chances are good you already have drawers installed. However, they may not always stay organized. When upgrading your closet, consider upgrading your organization skills as well. Amazon has a set of 12 foldable cloth organizers for $27. You can purchase these in seven different colors including white, black, pink, or grey.

Even though it's a closet, it's an area of the home that deserve to be decorated. Of course, décor items should relate to the purpose served by a closet, which is why we love this canvas piece with the names of famous apparel designers on book spines. It's available on Amazon for just $17. 

Since you're investing in hooks for your purses, consider updating your clothes hangers too. Fortunately, you don't have to get rid of your current hangers to do this. For just $9, Amazon sells space saver hangers that you hook your current clothing hangers to. It can then be let down so your clothes hang closer together.
