You could certainly talk to a cabinet maker and have something custom made to your preferences and design style. You could also talk to a closet design specialist who might be able to utilize every square inch of that space more effectively while working with a cabinet maker. Part of how the space is designed will depend on the age of your girls. If they are under 12 or so it shouldn't be too difficult. If they are teenagers, talk to them and find out what kind of space they need.

There are lots of possibilities! You could try a chandelier, for example, if you want a very glamorous look. If you don't really have room for a chandelier, try a ceiling flush or semi-flush mount. Wall sconces can add another pop of light. LED tape light could be great if you have, say, rows of shoes in a display and want to illuminate them like you might see in a store. You have some great options here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Debbie, acm - Thank you very much for responding. This is a new apartment and not a remodel. I have attached the floor plan of the room & closet. In the photo below the closet is the space "DRESS" and having dimensions 5 ft 11" (X axis) x 4 ft 7" (Y axis). For representational purposes, the diagram shows an L shaped closet. Ignore that - this is a complete blank space. I am instead planning on putting the closet along the 5 ft 11" wall- but on the opposite side instead of the side shown in the diagram. So imagine my closet along a single wall, set against the wall marked with a thick dark line. acm - I did not mean a bi-fold. But rather the traditional shutter door which some may refer as a swing shutter. My dilemma is - should i use sliding doors or regular doors ? I divided my closet into 4 major compartments, each 1 ft 6" wide. So there are a total of 4 doors. Depth of closet is 2 ft. Hence walkthru space is 2 ft 6". When a closet door is open, there wld be 1 ft space between the open door & the wall. Within each of these 4 compartments, I have designed multiple external drawers upto 2 ft height from base. So the shutters/doors planned only for the portion above 2 ft. Sliding Doors - Pros - Swing space not needed. Can place a slim dresser in the corner if I want to later. Cons - Expensive as it will needlessly cover the bottom-most drawers; Sliding doors coming off rails. Regular Doors Pros - Inexpensive. Can be used to cover only the part above the drawers (need not cover drawers). This way I can open the drawers below quickly & easily. Cons - Not sure if 2 ft 6" is enough clearance space to open 18" doors. Hope this makes sense. What do you suggest?

Jaggi, We guess that it is roughly 20-25'x 25-30'.
