Consider the space of your needed staff, like a mirror or a chair for putting on shoes or socks. As an advance, if your room has a window, use the under-the-window seat. That space never works for hanging, so the more space optimization, the most closet feature.
Choose a part of your closet for the mirror and make sure there`s nothing to block the mirror’s way.
The most useful dimension is vertical. By putting high shelves, there could be off-season storage and you can use these kinds of shelves to put your hats, shoes, bags, etc.
In this part of the wardrobe design, it is necessary to break down things, for example, folded clothes (t-shirts, sweaters,…), sleepwear, underwear, belts, scarves, etc. One of the most features is lighting. In a closet, you need to see what is inside it. The light must be in a good position where not shadowing the closet. The most consideration here is the heat, which can provide an incident fire.

Types of closet doors
There are basically two types of closets: those you can enter and those you cannot enter. Reach-in closets pose the greatest challenges, especially the doors used to access them.
If there is space, a swinging door is the best option as it gives you full access inside the closet. The downside is that you can’t swing a door in single-depth closets and a standard swinging door means nothing can get in the way.
Sliding Door
If you have a small space design a closet with a sliding door. Your next best bet if space is too tight for a swinging door. But these bypass plates have a tendency to crumble, get stuck, and even slip out of their tracks – and you can only get in halfway at any time. Replacing generic hardware with “HD” or heavy-duty hardware limits the hassle and is worth the cost in the long run.
Bi-fold Door

Because they allow access to the full width of the closet while only devouring half the floor space of hinged doors, folding doors are tempting. Until you realize they have double the number of moving parts as sliding doors and double the risk of getting caught or falling off their tracks.
Child closet organization
Adjustable closet systems are great choices for child closets. Use a top rod to store out-of-season clothes and a lower rod to keep frequently used items at eye level. Add stackable storage cubes to make use of the space between the clothes and the floor, and use storage bins and totes to contain small items like shoes, toys, and games. As your child grows, reconfigure the space to fit larger clothes, and use the storage cubes and bins elsewhere.
