[quote=Anonymous]OP, and I really appreciate everyone’s feedback. I am reading everything and it’s definitely helping me think this through. Thank you so much.

The space isn’t huge — will probably be 10’ by 7.5’, which I figure with pocket doors is enough for two “rows” with a full length mirror at one end? Maybe a tighter U-shape? I assume there’s no room for a washer dryer, though that would be amaaaazing.

Closet is shared with DH who mostly has casual clothes and button down shirts, a couple of sports jackets, not a suit guy.

Budget - would be nice to keep to 10k if thats doable. More would be over-investing for the house. TBH, for me the value is beyond financial. The part of me that longs for order/calm wants total custom cabinetry….but DH will be more practical about ROI. That said I would prefer wood/plywood to MDF if possible, but maybe that can’t be done for the budget.

I don’t need makeup in this room. 
My clothes are mostly casual — very few long dresses, few dresses. A handful of skirts and nicer pants I do like seeing my clothes, so I’d ideally hang long sleeve casual shirts and thin sweaters.
Handbags: max 12?
Shoes: A couple pairs of tall boots, a couple of wedge sandals/shoes, far more flats and sneakers.

Jewelry: not a ton. I currently keep earrings attached to a strip of burlap ribbon that’s hung on a wall, and necklaces/bracelets on some hardware store hooks in wall or draped over a mirror. A better system has thus far exceeded my imagination.

The main thing I want is to stop rummaging. I am constantly rummaging in bins —  undergarments and socks and tights and bathing suits and whatnot. I rummage for workout clothes, which are jumbled in with regular clothes. The rummaging is weirdly triggering for me.

We also don't have good places for the stupid, rarely-used stuff (shoe polish and water shoes and glasses cases, that sort of thing), so are always digging around for those.

Would be nice if there were room for sheets and towels, but not sure that’s realistic.

Would love good roll-out drawers or bins. Yes to valet hooks.

Based on this does it sound like my best bet is Elfa? Something else?

Again, thank you. This is out of my wheelhouse and am truly grateful for your thoughts. [/quote]
