Master closet help

Paula Williams-Drum

11 years ago

I have a large walk-in closet in a new construction house. Dimensions are:
Wall A - 7'2"
Wall b - 12'6"
Wall c - 15' 11"
Wall d - 6'

Ceiling height is 11 feet

Builder will install poles and shelves, no drawers.

Question, is it better to group all the hanging items on one wall - like wall c and then shelves on other walls. Or is it better to mix up the shelves and poles/hanging item?

I'm having a really hard time seeing how the walls relate to each other and what shape this closet is.....I don't know where the door is either...

If you do a sketch it will be possible to answer your question better.

However, if I were custom designing your closet, I would want to know more about how you like to store your clothes and is it just you, or are there two of you........Do you have lots of hanging clothes or more folding clothes or lots of shoes......

You might consider hiring a closet designer to help you figure it out.

Attached is a rough sketch. There is another large closet entry (hubby's) and a second entrance from hall.
