Enter your room dimensions and instantly get a to-scale layout, real clearance checks, hanging & shelf capacity, a cut list, and a system cost estimate. Find out exactly what fits before you build or buy.
Measure the actual room (or the space you plan to enclose). The planner reserves a 24″ walkway and standard closet depths automatically.
Drives your cut list and the system cost estimate. Melamine is the most common DIY built-in.
The door wall can't hold a hanging run. The planner keeps it clear automatically.
The open floor in front of your hanging and shelving is what makes a closet usable. We reserve it automatically and grade it:
Shelf towers are 14–16″ deep with shelves spaced 12–16″ apart. We estimate roughly 5 shelves per vertical section.
We allocate about 60% of your wall runs to hanging and 40% to shelving and drawers (a typical balance). Hanging capacity assumes ~10–12 garments per linear foot of rod; double-hang doubles it for short items.
For a built-in we place a vertical divider roughly every 36″ of run, ~5 shelves per section, and closet rod cut to 4–8′ lengths. Quantities are a starting bill of materials — confirm against your final design before buying.
Estimates use typical 2025 installed/material pricing per linear foot of closet run: wire ($8–$15), melamine built-in ($30–$60 DIY materials), and custom wood ($100–$250 installed). Your local labor and finish choices will move the final number.
This planner is a design aid, not construction documents. Verify all measurements and local building/egress codes before purchasing or building.
A functional walk-in needs at least a 24″ walkway plus closet depth. With hanging on one wall (24″ deep) you need about 48″ of total width; for hanging on two facing walls plan on roughly 84″ (7 ft). The smallest comfortable walk-in is about 5×5 ft — enter your room above to see if yours works.
Hanging rods need 24″ of depth; shelf towers need 14–16″. Add a 24–36″ walkway in front, so a single-wall walk-in needs roughly 48–60″ of depth and a galley (two-wall) layout needs about 84″ of width.
You can make a single-wall walk-in work in a space as small as about 4×5 ft, but the walkway will be tight. The planner flags it amber or red the moment your aisle drops below 36″ and 24″.
