Master Bedroom Closet layout help!

5 years ago

I’m struggling with how to best layout the closet in the master bedroom to maximize the space. This is the latest design which I’m really liking but feel the walk in closet is probably a little small still? Any ideas? I wanted to keep the space between the closet and the wing wall sticking out for a office desk/wall shelves. And the wing wall needs to stay so that we don’t change the entire roof frames.

We also looked into his/hers (see attached) but kind of like this better. Just worried about actual closet space.

    I dislike diagonal walls. Any reason why option 2 (his/hers) has to be separate closets with doors? What if you treat it as one large walk-in closet? Regarding size, measure how much hanging space you need now and make sure you can get the same length. You can always use upper and lower rails, especially for men's clothes, to obtain added hanging space.

    I was thinking if we went with this option to put in a pocket door into the closet area and keep all the closets open, then another pocket door/door to bathroom. Is that what you were thinking?

    One door for the entire closet area is definitely a better idea. Then just plan your rods, shelving, etc. with a middle walkway left for traipsing through to the bathroom. A pocket door at the bathroom will save space, but an into-the-bedroom regular door will work better for the closet.

    Don’t have the door to the bathroom in the closet. Moisture from the bathroom can migrate into the closet.

    Let me know if I should do a post but you guys have been so helpful! Here are 4 options I’d love to get your thoughts on since we’re trying to also make an office space happen.

    1. Is it weird to make a mini wall so that we can have a corner desk with wall shelves in the background (the new normal with video calls)?

    2. Is it weird to have the door to the closet so close to the office? Is it better further away or even on the other wall (hallway) or is that too far to walk from bedroom/too close to entrance door?

    I for one like the chamfered (angled) closet wall. It transitions from a skinny hallway by opening up visually into the larger space. As far as closet, a big determination is how your clothes are stored. Open hanging vs cabinet system (style that is equivalent in detail to your vanity). First, show the clothes - although 6'-4" is the listed dimension of the closet leaving 2'-4" to walk, that is still tight for a 'U' shape.

    - So in the first scheme kept your split of the closet into a uncluttered entry to the bathroom, with the 'messy' clothes optioned to be closed off. I would picture the bath door left open all the time, using the swing closet door as the dominant privacy door. With the cabinet portion, it may appear, in combination with the same hardwood flooring in the bedroom, as an 'ante' room to the bathroom. However, you could eliminate the secondary partition with a total cabinet closet system or if you just don't mind walking through the clothes to get to the bathroom (like one of your new schemes).

    - Since you haven't done one yet, the 2nd scheme is for the separate bath/closet lovers of the world. Worth sacrificing sink to gain a tad bit more closet?

    From the layouts, I'm unsure where you plan to put the wall shelves. All of your options seem to work. I would prefer a straight shot from my bed to the bathroom, but that is subjective. I also would not be bothered by a door near my desk area (for all anyone on Zoom knows, that is a door to another room and not a closet). I think you are at the really hard stage of making decisions--the one where you have several workable options and need to figure out what you really want (i.e., trust yourself).
