A walk-in closet is a closet where
someone walks in to store things. They may have
lighting, walls, and a floor from other spaces.
The walk-in closet can have hinged, bi-fold, or
sliding doors.

Walk in closets come in all sizes. Small ones
have a bit of space to walk around, chose cloths,
and possibly change in. Medium sized walk-ins
are generally big enough for you to sit in with
some having a full length mirror. Seating is good
for putting on shoes with a bit of space to move
around and change in. The largest walk-ins can be
as a big as a bedroom with all the space you
would need to move around, change your cloths,
sit down and put on your shoes as well as fixing
your makeup and hair. Which ever size you are
designing for, be sure that the space is suitable for
your existing and future wardrobe.

 Standard Depth Measurements
 For reach-in closets, the standard depth is 24 inches
and is used for suits, shirts, dresses, and pants. The 2
foot depth is required to handle your hanger. For coats
and jackets, use a depth of 28 inches.

 Use a depth of 28 inches for coats
 Standard Width Measurements
 A closet doesn't have a standard width. A rule of
thumb is to have a minimum of 48 inches or 4 feet
of rod length per person who uses the closet. Coats
and jackets need between 3 to 4 1/2 inches of width.
Men's clothing needs about 2 1/2 inches for every
garment while women's cloths need less since they
are generally smaller and wear thinner and tighter
clothing. Each garment needs about the thickness of
your hand so you can reach in and take out an item
easily. This will also keep your cloths apart enough
so they won't mush together and wrinkle.
48 inches of Road length per person.

 Rod Height
 Rod height may vary. The height for skirts, blouses, suits, shirts
and pants has to be at least 45 inches. Floor length dresses needs
a height of 72 inches while a street dress needs 63 inches.
Children's cloths need a rod height of 30 inches.
45 inches - general adult clothing
 63 inches - street dresses
 72 inches - floor length dresses
 30 inches - children (ages 3-5)
 Shelves
 Closet shelves should be at least 11 inches deep to accommodate
clothing, up to 15 inches max. Deeper shelves provide more
storage but increase the possibility of loosing items in the back.
A good way is for the first shelf to be 15 inches with 11 inch
shelves above will suffice. There should be at least 3 inches
between the rod and the first shelf to be able to remove your
hanging items. Space shelves between 8 and 9 inches apart
unless they are for shoes.
3 inches between rod and first shelf
 11 to 15 inch depth for first shelf
 11 inch depth for second shelf
 8 to 9 inches between shelves
