No way to tell based on the pictures you posted.

We need to see the outside of the home also.

This is quite a complex solution for this problem. Floor patching, baseboard matching, etc., in addition to any possible required structural changes. Moving may be easier and less expensive and would certainly show more stewardship for the original fabric.

You need a contractor or structural engineer on site.

The pics do not make sense if you post a to scale plan of the space that might help. Is this the only entry into the house ? IMO this would be best left as is for guests and family uses another entry but I need more info. I do agree with Joseph that opening this can of worms might be a lot more than you imagine . You do need a pro to tell you if that wall is load bearing so a look at the exterior of the house where this is would be helpful to get us so we understand exactly where this is .

I think the problem may be partially solved by changing the from a wider swinging door to a pair of narrower doors. Then you could customize the inside of the existing closet as well.

What you have is tight but if this is the entry that everyone is coming in, do you want everybody to see everything that is stored there in plain sight all the time? I think you could accomplish better storage while still keeping it behind doors.

Hello all, my apologies for this delayed response. I’ll have more photos up soon. This coat closet is pretty big, with a larger footprint than the actual entryway space. This is a two story multi apartment home. My parents live on the second floor.

Behind that wall mirror is the hallway stairs leading to their apartment. In front of the mirror is the dining room. I’ll post more photos as soon as I get home. As far as the design, there would be drawers and doors to conceal all that’s going to be stored there. We honestly don’t need a coat/storage closet that large and would much rather scale it down and make it more spacious for our entry and exit. This spot is going to have some more cosmetic work done, and would like to take care of this issue first.

Hopefully these might be helpful

I’m also thinking of how to patch the floor. There are two floor transition pieces leading into this closet. Unfortunately the floor in there is a wider plank wood. The one saving grace is that it does have base boards in there so I can reuse them. Since my new closet will be about 20” in depth I anticipate I’ll be able to remove them and incorporate it with what is in the entryway if I can get that wall down.

I think we still need a measured floorplan.

Sorry! I’ll do my best to get a more detailed floor plan.
