help pls: entry door w adj closet - swing out? dummy sidelite
Comments (18)Thanks Lyfia! All three ideas could work well. The closet wall currently would be between the two transom windows, so it wouldn't block either. Still, I especially like your idea of putting in a nice PAX closet, at least initially. A 59" (or 49") PAX closet, with a bench or plant in front of the left sidelite. I think that could work very well (if DH will be willing to be unconventional. I'm from Europe, so I'm quite used to wardrobes and no closets). I've been wanting to do a closet organizer anyway, so PAX could accomplish that. And, as you'd said, it means we could see what the space really feels like after we move in. This makes me wonder whether the entry door should be 2'8" rather than 3'0" wide. A smaller door might make the space feel larger ... and would leave more of the closet accessible. I'd assumed that 3' was more practical for bringing in fridges, couches, etc. But if 2'8" is a standard, then there must be other ways movers cope with massive furniture. Thanks! Very interesting ideas for me to sleep on. :-) (Yawn)....See MoreMinimum length of a laundry closet for side by side W/D
Comments (4)I have a closet with sliding doors .... 88" wide x 35" deep. My new sears washer is 27" wide and our older Whirlpool dryer is 29" wide. We also have a 24" square wash tub. I can tell you these 3 barely fit. In fact the 3ird section of the sliding door panel will NOT clear the washer (in the middle). But it never needs to go past the washer so its no problem. The 35" closet depth is an absolute minimum .... and may not work with many new dryers. I would go for a minimum 37" depth ..... but if 40+ is an option go for it. Even at 37" the run from your dryer exhaust may need to be "squished" to snake to the outlet. At my 35" depth the hoses etc brush against the back wall and thus create more noise Also keep in mind where the water input taps go for the washer .... if they are not completely under the basin, but a little behind the washer, you will need that much more depth.

Comments (13)Thanks for your suggestions, All! You've given me much to think about. I was trying to figure out if a U shape would work, and it helps to see it drawn out. It would work, but I have to decide whether or not I should give up one or both of the angled cabinets. Love the look of the angles over a strict galley as it opens it up and will make it different from everyone else's in our community....The angled look would tie in so well with the other angles in our unit (It is not a rectangle, but more of a "wedge" shape - narrow at the front door and opening to a wide, panaramic waterview through sliders and picture windows.) Anyway, the angled opening would also would make it feel bigger...but it does cut down a bit on counter and storage space. Think we'll be fine with the cabinet space since the wall we are opening up is 5" thick, so we'll gain that space at the end of each side. We also will be taking the cabinets to the ceiling, so will gain an extra shelf in all wall cabinets. So, prefer the look that creates challenges...but it does help to hear from all of you so we can make these decisions after considering everything!...See MoreFollow-up to sliding glass closet door design: sketch & 2 Qs
Comments (6)Hi sjhockey fan. Thanks for the warning. I have seen both the milky and frosted options in the showroom. I don't care for the stark opaque white of the milky glass. (The laminated option looked better, but for a 30% cost upgrade.) The frosted has a sandblasted textural "softness" to it that I like. I could only see a little bit of clothing color through the frosted glass in the display closet. If it is a problem once installed, we will add Solyx film (or maybe light blue painted or fabric panels) behind the glass to increase opacity....See More
