Closets are a huge part of any design of a log cabin. While nobody wants to waste square footage, it is clear that homeowners, in the end, need more storage that then they often think they need. Designing that storage space requires understanding what needs to be stored and how the homeowner uses the items being stored.
The best design for a storage closet will depend on the specific needs and constraints of the space. Some general considerations to keep in mind when designing a storage closet include:
Size and layout: Consider the size and layout of the space, including the height and width of the closet and the layout of the walls, floor, and ceiling.
Storage needs: Think about the types of items you need to store and the best way to organize them. For example, you may need to store large items like suitcases or bins, or smaller items like shoes or hats.
Accessibility: Make sure the storage closet is easy to access and use. This may involve installing shelves, hooks, baskets, or other organizational tools that allow you to easily reach and access your stored items.
Lighting: Good lighting is important in a storage closet, especially if you need to access items that are stored on high shelves or in hard-to-reach areas. Consider installing a light fixture or using battery-powered lights to ensure that the space is well lit.
Durability: Choose materials and finishes that are durable and easy to maintain. This will help ensure that your storage closet stays in good condition over time.
Overall, the key to designing a successful storage closet is to consider your specific needs and priorities, and to make the most of the available space.
