Designing a Walk In Closet

The closet pictured is approximately 10' X 10.' How best to lay it out while including either a peninsula or island? Thanks in advance for the creativity of fellow Houzzers!

    You will lose 2' on each side for hanging space that leaves 6 ' in the center or 7' if shelves are 1' deep if you add an island you will have to walk around it each time you want to get dressed I would put shoe storage along the wall to the left in the pictue a nice bench in the center and have it nice and open.
