One Sided Walk In Closet

On the left side of her walk in cabinet cubbies and shelves carve out room for sweaters and shoes.

One sided walk in closet.

Walk in closets should be a minimum of 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep. Option 1 put shelving on only one side of this closet and the end as well which still gives the benefit of a walk in closet and only sacrifices about 3 of shelving wall. With these minimum dimensions the closet will accommodate shelves and hanging space on one side wall and the back wall. This works ok because the open spaces around and above clothes and shelves creates the illusion of spaciousness which is why it doesn t work so well when one side is a solid wall.

We would walk in at the short end and clothes would hang on just one side. You can cheat the walkway in a walk in closet a bit if the walkway runs between shelves or rods 3 4. So 4 is too small and 5 is a bit inefficient. We are moving the opening to the room so we will have room to possibly if this is a workable idea make this a long walk in closet by bumping out the depth from 28 to about 48.

Option 2 rearrange the bathroom to reduce hallway space and open up more room for the closet. The master has a very wide reach in closet that is 28 deep. There are also three drawers for additional accessories. Since the walk in also has depth closet rods can be hung on one wall and shelving on the other which is important to consider when choosing your walk in closet size.
