    Depends on the country, USA it's not normally considered a BD if it doesn't have a closet, they call it an office or den.

    A lot of homes in European and far east countries don't have closets. You buy wardrobe furniture. Move it where it works best.

      I agree, it's also common for a bathroom if it doesnt contain a shower or bath to not be counted as a bathroom. So it normally shows up as a .5 bathroom in plans. At which point it's just commonly referred to as a rest room.

      A powdering room is just a room with a sink, no toilet. A restroom has a sink and toilet. Washroom and bathroom have a bathing fixture.

    I don’t think most UK homes have one, at least not older ones.

      As in the ones built in the 1900s? Or is it more recent like the 1950s and older?

        I’m not sure when they became more popular but most of the houses where I live were built around the 1930s and I can’t think of any I’ve seen with a built in wardrobe in the original house.

          Here in the states I've only seen wardrobes used as a primary articles storage, with the closet being storage mainly. I myself view wardrobes as nothing more than slightly fancier drawers. Albeit a good stained wardrobe is definitely an eye catcher in a room.

    What's a closet by your definition? Do you mean like a tiny room inside your bedroom? I have a wardrobe, if that's what you mean. IKEA brand.

    Mine has a built-in closet but it doesn't have doors it's just like an open one.
