When it comes to designing a bedroom, especially a master bedroom, the closet is always the main focal point of the design, second only to the bed. The closet is the ultimate space that stores our valuables and clothes. Apart from storage, modern-day closets offer much more utility, like getting ready and creating a space that can become a personal sanctuary.
Making the most of the storage you have at your disposal will not only help you clear out clutter but will also improve the aesthetic appeal of your house. Check out this comprehensive guide by Argan Design to learn about different types of closets. This article also includes advice on how to store your possessions neatly. So without further ado, start reading this guide!
Walk-in Closet
A walk-in closet is also called a walk-in wardrobe in some places. A walk-in closet is the ultimate modern-day luxury feature. Especially whenever someone plans a grand master bedroom, a walk-in closet is a mandatory feature most people aspire to have. The size of a walk-in closet can range anywhere from a small room to as large as a bedroom. Some people prefer to install air conditioning or HVAC systems in their walk-in closets to make the space comfortable and cozy. Some people like having a coffee station inside their walk-in closet.
You can use different types of clothes hangers in a walk-in closet, such as wooden hangers or metal hangers, to store clothes and other possessions you own. These closets are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to fit individual tastes and storage needs because they provide extra depth and storage capacity.
There are countless design possibilities, like having lots of wall space for clothes hanging, open shelf units, and island units with drawers. Despite their enormous size, walk-in closets still require a good design to maximize storage space and facilitate organization.
Storage Tips:
Make sure drawers and cabinets are easily accessible and that you can make good use of every corner and angle. For effective storage, think about creating several zones in your walk-in closet. For example, arrange items according to kind, color, or season. Set up a wall for displaying your purses and shoes, or make your runway by hanging mirrors and adding lighting!
Reach-in Closet
Although reach-in closets are more popular, they are much smaller than walk-in closets. Reach-in closets were initially intended to have a shelf above a pole from which clothes could be hung. These closets nowadays range in size from 3 to 8 feet broad and an arm’s length deep, with partitions, hinged doors, sliding or bi-fold doors, or pull-aside curtains.
Reach-in closets combine a variety of storage solutions and intelligent positioning to maximize space and aid in organization. Closet storage for these types of wardrobes can be maximized if we give special design consideration to it. These practical closets often feature a long horizontal bar for hanging clothes, as well as shelves and drawers for additional storage above and to the side. You can create and build a custom closet design with Team Argan.
Storage tips:
Use a hanger for clothes in the wardrobe and install various compartments to make the most of the space available. Place storage containers or baskets on the bar area of the closet floor for tall closets. Use drawer inserts to neatly keep and organize socks, underwear, and lingerie. Hanging door organizers may keep your shoes and accessories organized while also making your closet area neat and clean.
Linen Closet
As the name suggests, linen closets are a type of wardrobe that serves as a reach-in closet where items like sheets, towels, blankets, and bathroom necessities are kept. To store more linens and supplies, linen closets do not have reach-in doors; instead, they contain shelves and drawers. They might feature bi-fold or hinged doors, or they can be doorless for simple access.
Typically, linen closets are small and positioned in areas where it is easy for all members of the house to access the items they are storing, such as between bathrooms and bedrooms or in the laundry room. This type of closet often does not have any closet hangers. Another option for a linen closet is to have one that is freestanding or installed in a bathroom corner. Washers and dryers can fit into some linen closets!
Storage Tips:
If you have less space for a reach-in closet, you can use bins, baskets, and pull-out drawers in your closet to have more space. You can even fit a washer and dryer in a reach-in closet. Team Argan in Roseville will help you design a perfect reach-in closet.
Hall or entry closet
The hall or entry closet, another variety of reach-in closets, is situated close to the home’s front door, as its name suggests. Depending on how much space it takes up, a hall closet may also take the shape of a tiny walk-in closet.
Jackets, coats, overcoats, hats, shoes, and other outerwear accessories can be stored in these closets. They can also hold things like brooms or snow shovels, weather gear, umbrellas, sports equipment, and more. This closet with hangers in the hall or front room is very useful and provides a lot of utility.
Storage Tips:
Under-bench storage or low cabinets can help keep shoes and sports equipment organized. Use an umbrella stand and hang outerwear like coats and hats from a coat rack or wall hooks. Woolens and other bulky off-season clothing can be stored on shelves and cabinets.
Pantry or kitchen closet
Reach-in or walk-in pantries or kitchen closets are located in or near the kitchen. While walk-in pantry closets may be divided or without doors, reach-in ones typically include sliding or hinged doors. Pantry closets frequently include shutters or slatted doors. These closets are more commonly known as kitchen pantries, and when you design a kitchen area, pantry design must be an important factor. Recently, team Argan built a custom pantry for one of our clients, and we gave special attention to the easy accessibility and aesthetics of the pantry design.
Taller cabinets than standard base cabinets are commonly found in pantry closets. To hold anything from spices and condiments to dry and canned goods, they are furnished with a variety of internal drawers and shelves.
Concluding Lines
Different rooms throughout the house have different storage needs and requirements; depending on the room you are designing, you can choose the right type of closet for it. Team Argan can professionally design your closets so that you have maximum storage while maintaining the best aesthetics in your room.
