Closet and wardrobe are terms that are often used interchangeably but there are subtle differences between the two. Both are meant to be storage spaces but wardrobes are largely the word used in the context of a bedroom when it comes to a place to keep clothing, accessories, jewellery, shoes, etc. While a closet does store all that, it is, in its more literal definition, a small enclosure or space built into a room to keep things. This can be spacious, like a walk-in closet, or small, like a closet off the living room to keep utilities. A wardrobe is almost always associated with the bedroom, is an independent piece of furniture placed there and comes in a variety of wardrobe design configurations.
