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. Dropping that inch ought to have left me with cupboards which might 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 unique plan had been to have my garments hanging in order that they have been utterly 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 disenchanted with how a lot my shirts would stand proud of the cupboards. However as soon as the whole lot was within the closet and hanging on the rods, I wasn’t in the least disenchanted. In reality, I really like how they stick out slightly bit as a result of I feel that makes it simpler to seek out what I’m on the lookout for at a look than it will have been had they been utterly inside the cupboard.

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

The opposite aspect of the room has labored out completely to date. 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 not 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 may simply attain these high cabinets with out having to entry my step ladder.

However since I solely have 8-foot ceilings, and there’s not likely sufficient room for a library ladder in right here anyway, the system I works completely high-quality. I hold that little 3-step ladder in right here, tucked away within the cupboard reverse my sneakers, and it’s very fast and straightforward 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 frequently, so I don’t need to entry them usually.

Most likely the most important query in my thoughts was how this association of the washer and dryer have been going to work out. There have been many elements that went into my resolution to put 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 have been questioning my resolution 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 secret’s 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 most likely may 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.
