If you are an empty-nester gleefully considering all the possible uses for your son or daughter’s old bedroom, here’s a great one: the walk-in closet of your dreams.
It sounds extravagant, but there are many advantages to this idea.
- It can be done on a small budget.
- There is natural light and ventilation available in a spare bedroom not normally available in a closet.
- With careful planning, the room can still function as a “guest room” for the visiting son or daughter by putting in a day bed that can also double as a lounge for your dressing room.
- It doesn’t have to be permanent, there are many free-standing options which would allow you to turn it back into a bedroom with very little effort.
