For a master bedroom, you will need more than the standard sized closet. Most people are no longer satisfied with the average closet due to storage limitations. A walk-in closet not only solves this problem, it can also work as a dressing room. Here are a few tips to get the walk-in closet that perfectly complements your master suite.

• Determine the dimensions. The amount of space available for a walk-in closet will vary from house to house, but 7 by 10 feet is usually considered the basic size. Couples generally prefer a walk-in closet that can be divided in half so they can each have their own space. If you are trying to work out the right size, think about space for a bench and maybe a small table for folding laundry.
• Plan your storage. If you want your walk-in closet to be a model of functionality and efficiency, you have to plan out the storage. Remember that storage is the answer to the question of avoiding clutter, but deciding on a large closet is just the first step. You can choose the quicker route by purchasing a closet organizing kit. For the best results, consider getting a custom built organizing system design. This is more costly, but it may be more suitable for your personal needs.
• The custom option. The main advantage of getting a custom built storage system for your walk-in closet is that it allows you to make the best use of the entire space. You will also be able to choose the material, unlike with ready-made systems which have fewer options. When you custom build your closet storage system you can account for every article of clothing no matter how small. You can have space and hooks for socks, scarves and ties. You can include a slide-out ironing board and mirror for convenience and space saving.
• Think about DIY. For one reason or another, a DIY closet storage solution may be the best fit for you. Closet kits are available in a variety of sizes and styles. You will first have to start by measuring the space to make sure that the modules you buy are at least a close fit. If you know the size of the units you can try out different layouts on paper until you find one that is most suitable. Make sure the modules do not intrude in the space for clothes and other items you need to store.

Your walk-in closet should be well lit and properly ventilated for comfort. Make sure that any electrical work in the walk-in closet is up to code.
