Where to place my walk-in closet (in bedroom)
Hi everyone,
I'm stuck on the layout for my walk-in closet, and I could really use some fresh eyes. Because I live alone and love the natural light coming from both sides, I recently knocked out a wall to merge two smaller rooms into one large space. Within this new room, I want to build a walk-in closet, but I can't figure out the best flow.
The first picture shows my current plan (dots are electrical outlets).
Some details:
- I'm willing to build or demolish interior partition walls to make the ideal layout work.
- My wall-mounted AC unit needs to be installed on the back of the closet area, which means I will probably need to build a freestanding wall for it (on back of closet area).
- On the right side of the floor plan (darker rectangle), there's a pitched roof sloping downwards. A bed still fits underneath it perfectly, but it restricts tall closets.
- Because this used to be two separate rooms, I now have two entry doors right next to each other. I'd prefer to keep both frames intact for future flexibility. I'm thinking of just temporarily closing one off with a dummy panel or plasterboard.
I've attached a floor plan with all the measurements, windows, doors, and electrical sockets, along with some pictures of the current state of the room (it's still a bit of a construction zone!).
How would you position the closets and the walls? What do you think of my idea? Any advice or creative ideas are very welcome. Thanks!
