While you may hear entryways referred to as mudrooms, there are some differences. Entryways are often the entrance point to the house from a guest’s perspective, which is why they’re off the front door. Mudrooms are less formal entrances that are more for the people living in the home, which is why mudrooms are often attached to garages or the side or rear of the house. Entryways are also more formally decorated, while mudrooms are often all about utility.

A standard walk-in closet has dimensions of 7 feet by 10 feet at a minimum and an average of 100 square feet. Remember that the dimensions of the closet aren’t necessarily the usable space. This means that a 100-square-foot walk-in closet with shelves on each wall and an island may only have a walkable area of 50 square feet or less. Make sure you consider the effect of additions when you plan the room—mockups are a great idea.

Custom closets cost around $2,100 on average, but you could pay anywhere from $500 up to $6,000 or more for your custom design. The scope of your design services will be the most significant factor, with standalone designs being the most affordable and design and construction services costing toward the higher end of the price range. Most closet design services include a closet and construction plan. 

• Custom reach-in closet: $500–$1,500

• Custom walk-in closet: $750–$5,000

• High-end walk-in closet: $2,000–$5,000+

How many days it takes to remodel a closet will also depend on the scale of the project. Small changes like installing a prefab kit will eat up an afternoon and no more, while a total renovation could require several days to a week. If you’re planning for the latter, plan to secure other sleeping arrangements while construction is ongoing.
