Tip
The absolute minimum depth for a closet can be 22 inches deep.
However, you may have trouble accommodating your clothing with this shallow depth.
Reach-in closets can be found in entryways, hallways, and bedrooms.

Your standardreach-in closetis typically rectangular and ranges between 3 and 6 feet wide.
A typical reach-in closet is approximately 6 feet long, 8 feet high, and 24 inches deep.
Walk-in Closets
Walk-in closetsare big enough to step into and walk around in.
Tomaximize the storage area, hang dual hanging rods on one of the longer walls.
Hang them at 40 inches and 80 inches above the floor.
Medium Walk-In
A mediumwalk-in closetis typically around 7 feet by 9 feet by 6 feet.
With a walk-in closet of this size, you’re free to install hanging rods on multiple walls.
The ample size of these glamorous closets allows for lounge furniture, closet islands, and customizedshoe racks.
Place the top rod between 80 and 82 inches off the floor.
While this can be a great space-saving hack, put furniture into larger walk-in closets and dressing rooms.
For example, instead of storing tall boots on a smaller rack, adjust the shelves to fit them.
