Too Many Closets
Are Built |nefficientIy
By JAMES r. PATTERSON
snper,i.or Of InterIor pesrn at rrntt In.tItnte

for they tend TO become dead
and unusable.
The most efficient closet is the
one whose door opens the fun
width of the storage area for
easy access to all the space.
When there is more than one
door. they should swing indie
pendently of each other, so that
any part of the closet may be
reached without opening the
whole thing.
Plan shelves, racks, drawers
and rods for specific storage.
Material used daily ought to be
readily available. but articles
like luggage can well be less
accessible. If used rarely, high
shelves with separate doors are
good.
Today's sketch shows pair
of closets built into a bedroom,
one at each end of a wall, leav-
ing a recess between for the bed.
Actual floor area would never be
used efficiently otherwise. but
as personally planned closets 1t
gives maximum service.

Plan Ahead

Make a list of all the possible
storage facilities you think you'll
need, with notes as to where in
the house you would consider
them most convenient. and both
you and your designer will have
something to go on. And if the
little matter Of trimming the
budget crops up. remember that
you will live in the house a long
time and would regret daily any
rash elimination of closets.
Don't despair. though. if you
aren't building and can't begin
with aff-itleat-Set up. There are
ways of remodeling existing
closets fer greater efficiency and
ways of creating new ones. Ere
quently closets only need re-
organizing 10 give the greatest
possible use of the area. This
Is a matter of careful planning
and some minor alterations. If
there IS a lack of closets ia
reorganizc, however. YOU may
have to discover some place in
which To build new ones.

TIIE loudeSt and commonest
= wall of thousands of home
owners stems from closets. They
are inconvenient, or poorly To-
Gated, or inadequately equipped.
Or, more frequently, they are
far too few to accommodate the
cumulative storage requirements
of our normal living habits. 1t
IS a sad commentary on modern
building, but unfortunately a
very true one.
Those lucky people who plan
TO build this Spring should look
the nroblem straight in the eye
now and demand from their
architect or builder adequate
closet space for all present and
probable future needs. But don't
lay the problem entirely in that
poor fellows lap. How is he to

quirements are if you don't tell
