What is the average size of a walk-in closet?

Answer 1

The average closet size for a larger home is about 2 feet by 4 feet. A closet can be any size the builder and home owner desires. An entire bedroom can be turned into a huge closet if that room has no other purpose.

Answer 2

No matter how big it is, it will never be big enough.
A woman's wardrobe expands exponentially in relationship to the volume of it's intended container.

A closet should be 2 feet deep. If you really want to walk into it, add another 2 feet (minimum) to the depth.
The width would be determined by the size of the room and the location of doors and windows.

Answer 3

The term "walk in closet" means a closet that is large enough that you can walk into it, as compared to other closets which you reach into from the outside. However, the size of a walk in closet can vary tremendously. It can be just barely large enough to walk into, or it can be the size of a large room.

For a minimum dimension assume 2' for the actual hanging space. If it is a double loaded aisle (hanging space on two sides with access down the middle - allow 3' down the middle.
