STORAGE IS ALWAYS a hot topic in any house. Too little and it’s difficult to keep any room tidy – too much and we risk keeping every little thing just to fill up the space. As for standard wardrobes in shared bedrooms, they often don’t accommodate two people. This can result in one person creating a walk-in wardrobe in the guest bedroom. If this sounds like you, and you want your spare room back, then finding a home that has a walk-in or large dressing room in the main bedroom, might sound like the dream.
From Kerry to Wexford, we’ve found four homes across the country that prioritise closet space in the bedroom – and some are even large enough for getting ready in, too.
