Women Love Big Closets

Women love closets and the bigger they are the better. If you ever walk through an open house that has a big master closet, you will hear the woman get all excited about the different things she can do with it. The guy, on the other hand, will most likely show little interest. What this means is that women are usually in charge of the closets in the house and they are always looking for ideas on how to use them more effectively.

Only the bigger more expensive homes used to have walk in closets but now they are becoming more common in all types of homes. If you do have a large master bedroom closet, you will probably be looking for ways to manage the extra space. Typically women will have no problem figuring out what to do with all the extra room, as they own a lot more clothes and shoes than a man.

When a woman sees a big closet, her mind immediately races with all the ways she could fill it up which include buying new things. A man, on the other hand, yawns and thinks to himself "big deal, can I fit a TV in here? " Ultimately, walk in closets are good for both parties as anything that makes the woman happy indirectly makes the man happier as well.

Some closets now are so big that they need light in them. Many walk in closets in expensive modern homes are almost the size of a small room and you need to figure out the best lighting solution. They may come with one light on the ceiling but that light may not be sufficient to properly light the area. You will then have to install more lights or bring in a lamp or two to do the job. A favorite lighting solution is track lighting that will look great and highlight the different areas of the closet that you want.

If you have a big closet, you will need to determine how much space each person gets. Usually, 75% of the closet will go to the woman and the man will be left with about 25%. This is because women often have a lot more shoes and clothes than men and they need the extra space. Actually they want the extra space too whether they have more clothes or not. Luckily, men dont usually care about such things and are agreeable to whatever makes their wives happy, at least in the world of closets!
