Closet space is something that most home buyers are interested in, however, if you can’t boast about having as many walk in closets as you’d like-don’t worry, you have different options on how to add this coveted space to your home.
- Free standing wardrobe: This is a quick way to instantly add storage space to a room. You can use just one or purchase multiple wardrobes and line them up along a wall to add even more space. A positive about wardrobes is the fact that traditional closets have about 6-7 cubic feet taken up by studs and drywall while free standing wardrobes on the other hand have virtually no space taken up from construction.
- Built in wardrobe: These may be made up of one or more large cabinets, built behind sliding doors, or frame built.
- Open closets: These are usually found in spaces such as garages, craft rooms, play rooms, media centers, home office areas or even bathrooms and are composed of closet organizer parts.
- “Found” space: Closets can be put in spaces such as under the stairs, at the end of a kitchen cabinet run, in an attic, etc. A spare room can also be turned into a walk in closet and then transitioned back into a bedroom when you go to sell the home (with resale value in mind).
- Framed closet: This type of closet is created by putting up stud walls from the floor to the ceiling, applying dry wall to them, and then finishing them with paint. The opening to the space is closed off by the doors of your choice and the trim and hardware can be done to match the rest of the room.
