Closet inside the bedroom
FIX-CLOSET-IN-BEDROOM-01Description
Primary-suite walk-in closets must be accessed from inside the primary bedroom, not directly from a hallway. Hallway-only closet access erodes the suite's privacy and forces the resident to leave the suite to dress.
Why this exists
Bedroom closets belong inside the bedroom (or attached primary suite), not down the hallway. Hallway closets are for linens / coats, not clothes.
