Many people think that a room cannot count as a bedroom if it does not have a closet. However, no such provision actually is contained in building codes.
According to the Architectural Graphic Standards for Residential Construction, the typical closet is 8 ft × 2 ft (2.4 m × 0.6 m) for an adult or 5 ft × 2 ft (2.4 m × 0.6 m) for a child, with 14-inch (36-cm) shelves affixed to the rear wall.
Do you like closets? Or do you prefer movable storage solutions, such as wardrobes and shelving units?
Would you ever consider living in a house that has no closets?
I vastly prefer having closets. Shelves and Wardrobes "penetrate" into your living space in a uniquely explicit way. As the walls around the room go from predictable edges to a jagged collection of furniture, the percieved space is eliminated not just by the footprint of each item but also the area around it.
People own many ugly things that deserve to be hidden. My camping gear shouldn't be exhibited in my room or even really on a shelf. The closet is the best space for these things.
