By definition, a walk-in closet is a closet that has enough room for one person to stand in it. By a less technical definition, a walk-in closet is a magical place that can hold all your clothes and lets you organize everything any way you want to. Besides the obvious advantage of being bigger and having a higher capacity for clothes and accessories, walk-in closets offer several key benefits.
Organization– With great space, comes great organization. Finally, you’ll have designated spaces for your shoes, bags, accessories, casual clothes, and fancy clothes. By incorporating some custom shelving units, you can really whip the closet into shape.
Bonus Comforts– Walk-ins often have extra room to put in a few goodies that make the space more comfortable and luxurious. One of the best things you can put in a walk-in is a small vanity with a mirror and chair. This lets you do your makeup and get dressed all in one place.
Dressing Room– If you add a large dressing mirror, you’ll have your own private dressing room right in your home. Instead of having to get dressed in the bathroom or bedroom, you can try on different outfits in your walk-in. When you decide not to wear an outfit you can just hang it back up instead of throwing it on the bed or floor.
Security– A walk-in is an ideal location for a safe. In the event of a break in, the crooks will have a hard time finding the exact location of the safe, which gives you an extra layer of security. Walk-ins also make a pretty good hiding spot for Christmas presents.
Safety– Depending on the location in the floorplan, walk-ins are typically a good storm shelter for the family to hide in during a tornado. Living in Oklahoma, this will certainly come in handy during storm season.
As you can see, walk-ins are a great feature for a home to have. If you’re looking to build your dream home with your dream walk-in closet, call Perry Hood Properties today!
