My Walk-In Closet – Would I Have Done Anything Differently?

With that adjustment, I misplaced some depth. And I don’t know the way it occurred as a result of I can’t get the mathematics to math appropriately. Shedding that inch ought to have left me with cupboards which can be 17″ deep, however someway, I ended up with cupboards with an inside depth of 16.5″. After which I positioned my closet rods 10″ from the again.

So, to be clear, my authentic plan had been to have my garments hanging in order that they had been fully inside the cupboards with nothing protruding, or barely protruding. I didn’t have sufficient room to go any deeper than 18 inches. I ready myself to be upset with how a lot my shirts would stand proud of the cupboards. However as soon as every thing was within the closet and hanging on the rods, I wasn’t in the least upset. Actually, I really like how they stick out just a little bit as a result of I believe that makes it simpler to search out what I’m searching for at a look than it might have been had they been fully inside the cupboard.

That may not be true. Maybe it might have been simply as straightforward to see issues at a glace even when they had been fully inside the cupboard. However I nonetheless don’t thoughts the look of these shirts protruding like that. Actually, I sort of prefer it. They’re colourful and fairly and I like seeing that glimpse of them as I stroll previous the door of the walk-in closet. So whereas it wasn’t my authentic plan, and it was the results of a mistake on my half, I’m really more than happy with the 16.5″ depth of the cupboards.

The opposite aspect of the room has labored out completely thus far. I can’t consider something I might change on this aspect given the parameters I needed to work with. Now in an ideal world, I might have no less than 9-foot ceilings, ideally 10-foot ceilings, and I might have had loads of room for a sliding library ladder in order that I might simply attain these high cabinets with out having to entry my step ladder.

However since I solely have 8-foot ceilings, and there’s probably not sufficient room for a library ladder in right here anyway, the system I works completely wonderful. I hold that little 3-step ladder in right here, tucked away within the cupboard reverse my sneakers, and it’s very fast and simple to seize it to succeed in these excessive cabinets. And it helps that I put sneakers on that very high shelf that I don’t put on often, so I don’t must entry them usually.

Most likely the largest query in my thoughts was how this association of the washer and dryer had been going to work out. There have been many elements that went into my choice to position the washer and dryer reverse one another as an alternative of side-by-side (together with my obsessive want for symmetry, however that wasn’t the one issue).

I’m certain that a number of individuals had been questioning my choice to separate them like this, however I can inform you that this association hasn’t been an issue for me in any respect. They’re nonetheless shut to one another, and I don’t even give it a thought when doing laundry. I’ve discovered that with this association, it’s simply as straightforward for me to switch garments from the washer to the dryer because it was once I had them side-by-side.

I do suppose the bottom line is that I slid every equipment ahead in order that neither of them is sitting towards the wall. I positioned them shut sufficient in order that when the doorways on each are opened, they’re pretty shut to one another. So closing in that hole between the 2 home equipment helps make the laundry switch very straightforward.

I in all probability might have slid every of them ahead one other couple of inches, however I didn’t wish to encroach on the window an excessive amount of. They usually don’t actually should be nearer collectively. This association has labored out completely identical to it’s.
