The townhouse we sold had a humungous amount of closet space - so the lack of closet space has been a huge adjustment for me. I had a 9x6 walk in closet just for me - and now I have NO closet.
There is really no wasted space in this house - it's pretty hard to have wasted space in a house that is only 6 and a half rooms with 1 bathroom. I consider the laundry room the 1/2 room.
Please don't get me wrong I LOVE our house, I really do. Having a 10x16 kitchen outweighs the lack of closet space!!! My kitchen in the townhouse with all the closet space was only 5x7.
Sometimes I think that men design these houses without talking to any women who have to clean and cook in them.
