Closet layout help

12 years ago

I am about to start renovations on our future bedroom, and I am at a loss on what to do with the closet. The closet is 72" wide and 23" deep. Overall, the size is fine, but the door is at one end, making access to the other end very difficult.

The original configuration had a closet rod running along the entire width of the closet, but this means that you can't easily access the clothes hanging at the end opposite from the door end. If anyone has any suggestions for a more useable layout, I would be grateful!

Can you open it up so it has a 5' bifold door on it? That is what I'd probably do.

Try the organization forum for tips. Once they are sure you're decluttered, they will help. (I'm kidding--they are a very nice forum. Unless you are clutter.)
