Closet=wardrobe when you are talking about the place in the bedroom to hang up your clothes and closet=cupboard when you are keeping your supplies or brooms there, but what about a smaller compartment in the hallway meant for hanging up coats and keeping your winter boots in? Is that also referred to as a wardrobe or cupboard? Because it feels weird to type he retrieved his jacket from the hall cupboard, or he retrieved his coat from the hall wardrobe. About ready just to use a coat rack or hooks by the front door or something.
