I like a width of 7 feet. *Allows clothes to be hung on each side with a 3
foot walkway. *If I went wider I would jump to 12 feet with two aisles and
hangers down the center as well. *14 foot would allow for two wide down
the center. *My current closet is 7X12. *Plenty large in my single days.
Starting to feel a little cramped with a woman using it too. *I call them
dressing rooms and include chairs, mirrors and built in cupboards. *With
everything in the closest the bedroom can be a modest size.

LOL. As the female half of the couple who will be using the closet, I can
tell you that DH has more clothes, is much more appearance-obsessed, and
takes up a lot more space! I just want a rack on each side with shelves
above and about 3' of floor-to-ceiling shelving on the far wall between the
two racks. Sounds like my "too-small-closet" will work just fine.

Thanks for the comments!

You're not putting in a bathroom? Personally I'd take an end off your
original retangle and divide it between a walk in closet and a bath.
And I'd also plan a stackable washer/dryer hookup in the closet. The
laundry hookup is probably more personal preference but once you have
a laundry closer to where you remove and put on your clothes you'll
never go back :-) As to the bath, I can't imagine having to go
downstairs to use a bathroom.
