Bedrooms with CLOSETS!

Ok, so I don't know if I'm crazy or bad at finding things in the store, but is it just me or is there a conspicuous lack of bedroom interiors with even simple closets?

    Built-in closets are sort of a North American thing.  Some of our set-makers are outside North America, where they use separate wardrobes.  Plus, it's a lot of work to stock a closet, when it's rarely the focus, and a very minor selling point.  At that point, it's better to sell a dressing room separately.

  • As an American that has been living overseas for 20-some years, I do miss my closets.... But Sevrin hit it square on the head.  Methinks some PA's don't come from North America, and they just make what they are used to...

    Another interesting thing, but maybe not found too much in Daz is that the European generally prefer the Toilet to be in a seperate room from the "Bath Room".

    But some US/American Styling is taking root.... open plan kitchens and dining/living rooms are becoming more common with new construction.  Kitchens themselves are getting larger too.  I guess that since Covid, the Europeans are going to want larger Refrigerators too, now that they have been buying for more than a couple days use.  Still no Costco equivelent though ;)

    Here in Buenos Aires (Argentina), built in closets are very common, even in some old houses way before the north american style influenced us. While certainlly not everyware, they are not rare at all. When one is looking for a new/home appartment, built in closets (or lack of them) have a huge impact in the final choice.

    But i agree it may not be very convenient to do for artists. Most people want freedom so i guess artists that take the time probably prefer doing wardrobes that you can move arround.

    I don't have a wardrobe 

    when I moved here mine were too crappy to warrant an extra trip with the tailgate loader truck I hired, as it was I ran up an excess mileage fee!

    my clothes are all in the spare room on racks and in crates!

    Do you know if Roguey is European?  I mean, anyone can make French toast.  None of the German apartments I lived in had built-in closets, nor did the homes of my friends.  It's no coincidence that IKEA sells so many types of wardrobes.  Things may have changed, but traditionally built-ins weren't a thing.  I mean they've started celebrating Hallowe'en, so anything is possible.

    In America the definition of a bedroom is a room with a closet, otherwise it's a den.  You can't even put in a wardrobe and call it a closet, against code.

    but doesn't even have to, I live in a 3 bedroom house and only one has a bed!

    Im not an architect and i havent done a survey of building codes in different countries (and im not going to do so), but from personal experience, every single bedroom ive ever had has had a built in wardrobe - this is in UK (europe) and in New Zealand.  There is only one exception to this which is when i was living in a 1930's house in New Zealand.  None of the bedrooms has closets.

    I think most people would expect to have a closet in UK and NZ.  I would have thought australia was similar but Wendy thinks not.

    While I doubt that bedrooms sold at Daz are subject to this code, what code would that be?

    Having a required closet prevents putting an orphan nephew in a room under the stairs where he can't receive letters.
