When creating a list of home improvements to make, you may consider expanding, or limiting, your closet space. When deciding to add an extra closet, you have the option of creating a standard reach-in closet or a larger walk-in closet. This guide explores the benefits of each to help you make your decision.

What Are the Advantages of a Reach-In Closet?

Reduces Wardrobe

A reach-in closet is considerably smaller than a walk-in. However, this can help you downsize your wardrobe. Even after it’s finished, a reach-in closet will provide just enough space for the clothing that you regularly wear. You can then give away or donate unused items that are taking up space.

Find Items Easily

A smaller closet will allow you to find specific items at a quick glance, instead of having to go through piles of clothes to find what you need. If you have a tendency to forget what clothes and shoes you have, this will be especially helpful. You may even find yourself picking out outfits more quickly than before.

Tidy Dressing Area

A large closet makes it tempting to leave clothes scattered around. However, when you ask your general contractor to build a reach-in closet in your bedroom, you’ll be forced to hang things back up where they belong. When you change clothes, you’ll also be more likely to throw dirty clothes in the laundry hamper, as there’s no extra space in the closet to leave them.

What Are the Advantages of a Walk-In Closet? 

Extra Space

Home ImprovementsIf you have an extensive wardrobe, a walk-in closet will easily be able to store your belongings, from hats and accessories to dresses and shoes. This will keep you from filling other areas of the room with accessories or clothing that wouldn’t fit in a small wardrobe. 

Changing Area

A walk-in closet will provide you with enough room for full-length mirrors while still leaving enough space to change outfits. This provides you with the perfect space for trying on different items of clothing to see whether they still fit, or if they go well together.

Room to Share

A walk-in closet provides you with an area you can comfortably share with your spouse or children. Make a note in your home improvement plans to add additional racks and drawers for family members. The extra room can eliminate conflicts that arise from not having enough closet space for everyone.
