This closet shows an excellent use of the space, especially at the far end. A shallow shelf with drawers provides places for socks, shoes, belts and other small items. The depth of this fixture does not interfere with the ends of the rods on the back walls, and allows plenty of room to comfortably reach the back corners of the closet. An arrangement like this also helps to define individual spaces for those sharing a closet. Layout tip: If your walk-in is less than 6½ feet wide, place hanging rods on one side and shelving and shoe racks on the other for good flow and accessibility.
•Vinyl-coasted wire systems are inexpensive, but they are not as sturdy as panel designs. •For panel systems you can choose inexpensive melamine, but this inexpensive finish may not suit your needs. •Wood-simulated finishes are more expensive. •Wood veneers are in the upper end of the cost spectrum.
Closet Floor Plans
Walk-in closets have long been favored for their spacious accommodation of extensive wardrobes. If clothes will hang on both sides, ideally the width should be 7 feet. This will allow a 3-foot path down the center of the closet for moving around. Resist the temptation to line the back wall with rods, which tends to take away from space, because the rods have to overlap in the corners.
