Mindy Kaling’s Closet Looks Nicer Than Any Apartment I’ve Ever Been In
Anyone who has seen “Sex and the City”has coveted Carrie Bradshaw’s overflowing closet, but at least it was fake—no one could have such a perfect room in real life! Except, apparently, Mindy Kaling.
When prepping with her team for this year’s Producer’s Guild Awards, Kaling took a few getting-ready photos in her dreamy closet. Normally, closets aren’t the best spot for selfies and full-length glam shots, but Kaling’s closet lighting situation actually makes her glow. And I’m not exaggerating when I say this closet is nicer than—and possibly bigger than?—my NYC apartment.
If you do a little digital sleuthing, you can see a separate nook for every bright and colorful purse, a full length mirror on the back of what looks like a door (could there be an adjoining closet?!), glass-knobbed drawers packed with accessories (I zoomed in, there’s a belt there), and shelves stacked with shoes. The clean white closet storage makes all of Kaling’s colorful clothing pop, and we love her colorful rug as a subtler, but still fun way to play to her decor style.
From our view, the closet looks well organized (with plenty of storage), and Kaling is employing many Apartment Therapy-approved tips to create the illusion of more space, including the all-white fixtures and mirrors—though these tips are kind of wasted on an already-huge space. But, an illusion of more room does help her colorful clothing seem less like busy clutter, and more like bright accents to a spacious suite.
Now, would Marie Kondo approve of the floor-to-ceiling shoe collection? Maybe, maybe not. But for me, just looking at photos of Kaling’s ginormous closet sparks a lot of joy—and jealousy.
