How much closet space?

[Leanne2]

I just took some of my wife's clothes from the laundry room and hung them up in our closet. I noticed that her clothes take up most of the available space. She has 14 feet of hanging space and I have 2 feet. But in another closet I have 5 feet for my hanging feminine clothes.
So my question is, in all of your closets, how many feet of rod space do you get to use and how much is for your SO? And how does it divide up for you between your male and female clothing? Leanne

My wife has a walk in closet that has full double racks on both sides - so that works out to something like 32 linear feet of closet rods... I have a separate closet with about 10 feet of rod...its 50-50 girls stuff and guy stuff, but the balance is beginning to shift towards the girl stuff.

In the bedroom we have hers, hers and hers closets. LOL.. the 'his' is about 2 feet enough for a few shrits and a pair of jeans... Now for Renne's closet, in the basement, it all fits in a 3' wardrobe box (that's just for the LBDs). Everything else is packed away in 10 - count em 10 18gallon storage bins.... I really need an entire closet for these outfits....

We have three closets in our house, my wife uses one big one, I use both other closets: one is full of my women's clothes and the other is half my women's clothes and half male clothes. Hmmm...looks like a 3 to 1 ratio for me. My wife and I have about the same amount of female clothes but I definetly have some skirts and dresses than she had.

We have one ten foot closet, and one 5 foot closet. I hung second rods doubling the rod space so all tops, slacks, and skirts can be hung in the 10 foot closet which we share. All dresses and male clothing goes in the 5 foot closet. Male sweats, jeans, and tee's all go in dresser to save rod space. So we each have about 12.5' of closet space.

My wife and I share a walk in closet plus I have a closet just for Stacey

Who needs closets when you can have floorpiles! :D
It's a product of laziness and not having enough space.

My wife and I have about equal closet space upstairs, about 5 feet each. Of course she has 3 times what would ever fit there while mine has almost all of my guy stuff.

Downstairs I have approx. 25 feet of hanging rods as well as drawers and other storage......and that's getting to be not enough!!

It's complete mayhem over here in an apartment with only one walk in closet and one bathroom. My SO definitely has fewer clothes, but we are both clothes-horses with no end to the madness in sight.

We need to move to a place with a lot of closet space and 2 bathrooms...fighting over the mirror isn't becoming of two ladies. :)

our house is really really small so all we have is 1 closet at maybe... hmm, 1,5m together for the clothes hanging... then we have 2 drawers each with some other clothes!

For me, Esmes clothes takes up maybe 1/3 of mine so far! Dream would be to have a huge walk in closet for both (all 3) of us :D

[sissystephanie]

I am a widower so I have all the space! There are 3 bedrooms, each with a large closet. Every closet has a lot of female stuff in it, plus one bedroom has 4 standing hanging racks which are full of female clothes! And all those female clothes are mine!! Way too many! My male clothes take up a small space in one closet!

I have a lot more dresses and skirts unlike my wife, and I actually wear them (she wears only pants and shorts).

[Stephanie47]

How about fourteen xerox boxes plus two other large boxes? How does that translate to linear feet? I have about three linear feet for my guy clothes I usually do not wear daily. My daily stuff is hung on the back of the dining room chair or on the floor. Wife hates tripping over my jeans and footwear. I have to maintain a respectable guy image! :)

We have5 closets of 8' each available. Wife occupies 3 - one filled, others half full. One is in my study, and is 1/2 full with old guy stuff that needs to be thrown out. My closet in the bedroom is just 1/2 full with guy stuff, and shrinking, I use less than 25% of the guy space. The other 1/2 has been filled to overflowing in just 5 months.

Closet space is share equally if I want to keep the SO happy. We have about 28 feet now and we are turning a bed room into a walk in closet. That should keep us happy for a few years.

[Bree-asaurus]

We have our own closets :D

[Leanne2]

Ah, but Bree, how many feet of hanging space do you have counting all of the rods? I think close to 30 feet is the record so far. Leanne

Oh I dunno, maybe 20-25 feet. The fact that I don't have to share is what makes me happy :D

[Jilmac]

Since I live alone, I get all the closet space to myself which means all my pretty clothes can be stored properly on hangers and in drawers. All my drab clothes end up on the floor.

[Persephone]

I'd love to measure all of the linear feet of clothes rack but I'm a little too lazy. So let's see . . . we have two walk-in closets in our bedroom, my spouse has the smaller one and I share the larger one with my male self about 50/50. But then I also have three large clothes racks taking up another bedroom!

The vanity in her bathroom is about 5'3" (1.6m) while mine is 8'5" (2.57m) but she has the sunken tub and bidet while I have a shower.
