Default Easy substitute for closet

We just remodeled a Gardenia and faced the same problem of there being no closet in the 3rd bedroom.

As we were having new cabinets installed in the kitchen, we had the contractor install a pre-fab "pantry" cabinet as a substitute for a closet. He left out the shelf in the bottom part and added a clothes rod. These "pantry" cabinets are available in single door and double door and range up to 36" in width. The top part of the cabinet will hold one or two shelves. Home Depot and Lowe's have many models of pantry cabinets.

One cabinet should be sufficient for short-term visitors. If you want more space, add a second cabinet.

The cabinets look great and their use avoids the muss or fuss of installing sheetrock and painting as would be required when adding a conventional closet.
