Walkabout Closets?

Bedrooms serving as closets, er--dressing rooms, once seemed supremely decadent, reserved for fashion professionals and the wardrobe department. Now, despite a consumerist backlash, they're practically commonplace.
The ultimate walk-in and the latest of status wrinkles, with full length mirrors, center islands and jewelry organizers, cedar-lined, or finished like a ballpark locker room.

Typically the smallest of the second floor bedrooms is conscripted, sometimes augmented by de-partitioned adjoining space, a hall or linen closet, or even the landing of a back stairway.

The smart aleck would suppose I've been encamped in Fremont Place (seldom) or the homes of wealthy gay men (more often); but, likely it has something to do with shrinking household size. Demographers predict within ten years, the most common household type in the United States will people living alone.

I guess fewer tykes, equals more togs.
Or just better display.
