Code requirements may prevent you from having a ceiling light in that space, due to insufficient clearance. You may have to have the lighting placed on the side wall, perhaps above the door frame.

If you have access to the door framing, consider using an automatic light switch. Open the door and the light turns on, close it and the light turns off. That was one of my favorite features of my previous house, especially because that means no one leaves closet doors open

How are you going to access the long hang items and the shelves?

I would put the long hang things in the cubby section ...all low hang items on the long walls...with shelving above....shelving will be much easier to access on long wall.....also the door(?) looks completely out of proportion to measurements?....

Also at 30” you have less than 10” for walk space...that is really not enough....Your drawing does not show surrounding space...so...from what is shown it would be smarter to omit cubby and add folding door like a regular closet....

It takes at least 20” for hanging clothing and you have shown less than 30” for closet width

hi all, thank you for your comments! I realize it is a small space and not intended to be a walk in. The shelves in the "cubby" part I view more as found space and will put things I do not need to access on a regular basis. I am using the Container Store's Elfa system so all components are moveable so if I find I do not like the above configuration, it will be easy enough to pop out the part and move around such as ritasj suggests. we are going to use an LED light that is safe for closets, headed to a lighting store today to see some options- thanks again!
