Bedroom closet requirements

[Midwest Guy]

Closets are a market demand, not a FNMA or FHA demand. Some markets do not require a closet for a bedroom.

Closets are not a requirement. The only requirement I know is any room you have to pass through to get to another room cannot be a bedroom. Unless it's a master bath.

In SE Florida a room to be called a Bedroom must have a window. You must also consider ceiling height and functionality.

There was a time no FHA insurance if a Bath was off the Kitchen.Not so now.

When those historical houses were built closets for clothes storage were not included. Not having lived in that era, I will assume that people wore the same clothes day in and day out until they rotted away and hanging them off the bed post while they slept....or maybe even sleeping with their clothes on. As "the frontier" became more civilized, the wealthy purchased, or had made, special cabinets to store the extra clothes they could now purchase because of their wealth. Cleaning clothes often meant a swim in the river, or hiding in the bushes while the WOMAN pounded those clothes against the rocks and boulders.

Nowadays, not only do we build rooms for clothes that are the size of what a child's bedroom used to be, but a separate room for machines that wash and dry those clothes!

EVOLUTION. Speaking of which, are ice bergs something we need anymore?
Maybe there is a greater need for the WATER that forms these bergs. What we may need are bigger and better WATER CLOSETS! lol

That's a great visual. I'm goin' to get 2 rocks for the Mrs right now, then we'll see how much she really hates doing the laundry.
