Hello, does anyone have any suggestions on how to build a corner closet? Perhaps detailed designs?? It seems fairly straight forward, however, seeming straight forward and being straight forward are quite different!!

Thanks. Ryan.

I haven't seen any plans off-hand
I was trying to think of where to look and I'm not sure if you want to build a corner cabinet/hutch type closet, or want to frame out and drywall a closet into the corner so it looks built into the wall/room

if it is a drywalled built in closet. the Home Depot 1.2.3 book has a pretty good how to for a corner closet.

If you are thinking of putting in a closet system, make sure your inside dimensions are in 2 foot increments. I found out that most systems are that size.

On my corner closet I have 2 sets of bi folds for easy access to each side.

good point Benoit, I did'nt think about that when framing. Fortunately mine came in at 2.5'x8'. I am also using two bifolds for a 60" opening. No fumabling for clothes. Also got that ceder tounge and groove for it. Only question I have is if that ceder smell will be with my clothes the whole day or does it dissipate?
