Most clothes closets have a depth of 24 inches, and many builders use the same depth for coat closets — but that’s typically not enough. Coats are wider than shirts, and get cramped at 24 inches. Coat hangers are typically 19 inches wide — add a heavy coat and it’s cramped at 24 inches.Click to see full answer. Then, how many coats can fit in a closet?About six jackets hang per foot of closet space, which means in a family-size home with six people, each owning three coats, 3 feet of closet space is required. Typical coat closet widths range from 3 to 6 feet. Allowing more room for thick winter coats and jackets is advisable.Likewise, how much space is needed for a closet? A clothes closet should have a minimum depth of at least 24 inches deep, so the clothes can clear the back wall. Shelves for women’s shoes should be spaced about 6 to 7 inches apart. Shelves for folded clothes should be placed around 12 inches apart. Also asked, what is the minimum depth for a coat closet? The standard minimum depth for a reach-in closet is 24 inches, but a closet intended to store coats or other bulky hanging items may need to be as deep as 28 inches. A closet less than 22 inches deep isn’t deep enough to allow hanging clothes.How wide does a closet need to be to hang clothes on both sides?The short answer: If you want hanging clothes on both sides, you need at least a full 6′ wide space. Any less and people will have a really hard time maneuvering in the space. Especially if they are anything more than average size adults.
