By: Murphy Door Inc. This question is what put us on this quest. As a team we were sure that with this economic downturn that we would find some great American Ingenuity to help us find a resolution to this dilemma. Guess what? we were right. Now ask yourself this. What size is your average room. Our studies found that the average bedroom size is around 10'x10' or 100 sq. ft. So if we are in the typical room there is door to get in the room that averages around 30" in width or 1.25 Sq.ft. of floor space, now calculate the potential storage space around 12.35 Cu. Ft. of potential storage. In addition to the door there is at least one window on one wall and more than likely there one window on two walls, then there is a closet the average closet door is around 5'x82" or 1.66 sq. ft. of floor space and a potential 43.5 Cu. ft. of storage! Now let’s consider this the Closet is usually 6'x2'x8' so your total usable sq. ft. of the closet is 96 cu. ft. There is almost 50% of the storage available in the closet in the doorway.
