13 Bedrooms Turned Into the Dreamiest of Dream Closets
Maybe you’ve always dreamed of a giant closet. Maybe something about seeing shoes and clothes hung up and laid out, neatly, in a space where they have room to breathe, is deeply soothing to you.

Traditionally, a boudoir was a woman’s private sitting room or dressing room, leading to its current mildly scandalous association. A spare room outfitted as a closet can also serve other purposes—as a library, or study, or just a place to retreat from the cares of the world.
