Turning a Spare Room into a Walk in Closet

A walk in closet is a distant dream for many people. A place of almost infinite space, there you could store and organize all of your clothes and personal accessories, keeping them neat, clean, safe, and easily accessible.

Unfortunately most homes don’t have access to such a luxury. However, with some clever space management, you may be able to create a walk in closet out of space you didn’t even know you didn’t need.

Many people have a junk room, a space devoted to storing all of their little used possessions. However, if you go into that space and organize it, discarding or selling what you don’t need, and compacting what you do, you may be able to utilize the resultant space as your walk in closet. Storage boxes can be stacked to one side, or even used to fill the actual closet. Than line the walls of the room with armoires, dressers, and clothing racks. Tada! You have your very own, luxuriously spacious, walk in closet.

If you don’t have a whole room to devote to this use, than try partitioning off part of another room. If you have a large bedroom, the walls of your closet can be formed by the armoires and dressers you need to make the room function. Hide the backs of these pieces using decorative shoji and partition screens, to complete the effect.

This plan can theoretically be used in any room, however you will generally want the closet to be as isolated and private as possible, so that you can go ahead and change on the spot.

You can make your closet do double duty by letting it serve as a laundry room, or linen closet. In this way the space you create will give benefit to everyone in the house.

Creating a walk in closet within your home is a matter of strategically arranging your home so that you can squeeze it into the margins. While some homes simply don’t have the space for such a luxury, many do, even if their owners do not know it.
