This translation gives a misleading impression; such closet spaces do take on the function of our storage rooms, but they are clearly much more than that. The "closet space" common in the USA is not only used for storage but is often employed as a walk-in wardrobe or even dressing room. In American architecture, these usually closet-like enclosed rooms are generally located in or near bedrooms and often have a size that we would already consider a room. Often the flooring (carpet in bedrooms) continues seamlessly from the main room into the closet. In the 4 different houses where I lived in the USA, I always had a closet space or walk-in closet in my bedroom, sometimes a small one of barely 2 sqm, sometimes a larger one of easily 12 sqm. None of them was even remotely similar to a storage room. However, it is quite possible that rather means a storage room. That remains unclear at the moment.Here in Germany, this is simply called a storage room.. (or also built-in wardrobe)
