"There's probably some risk that an in-bathroom linen closet will gradually have to share space with toiletries, hair dryers and such." kmcg, you've got that part right. I should have mentioned that my bathroom linen closet not only has the linen for the master bed and bath, but also extra toilet paper, soap, all sorts of extra toiletries, etc. And I keep my laundry basket ont the floor of the linen closet. The closet shelves are so much more accessible than storing stuff under my small vanity. So I like having a linen closet in the bathroom.

How wide is enough? My linen closet is only 24" wide. It's enough. I have a hamper on the bottom, two towels in the middle for towels, and a shelf on top for extra blankets. I would like to have more space, but this is enough. My favorite thing: The hamper is hidden away. Now, as for style, I love your picture. It's so much prettier than my plain door. I do have a couple thoughts: - Since you have 10' ceilngs, I'd go with a solid door at the top. This'd allow you to hide blankets, pillows, whatever. - I do like the opaque glass. I'm not always neat. - I don't think you need drywall on the side . . . in fact, why does your picture show a FULL WALL between the vanity and the cabinet? Why couldn't they save space by simply putting the cabinet against the sink? Those are questions for the cabinet maker. This post was edited by MrsPete on Mon, Nov 17, 14 at 20:21

We just installed a floor to ceiling linen cabinet in our master, it's 24 inches wide and 18 inches deep. It's split into two sections with two doors up and two doors down. I put the shelves in so there is about an 18 inch space from the top. But I only used two shelves in the bottom section, which we use for towels. In the open space below the second shelve I have a wicker basket for dirty clothes.

Hello, I think increasing the depth just a little bit to 24" would be a smart move. It will give you a little bit more space for storage (as we all know, everyone can always use more storage space), and it will visually balance out the space nicely. I would just make sure that you do have enough clearance to open the linen closet doors without hitting the tub or getting too tight!
