Simonete, só se lembre que você pediu a tradução para "guarda-roupa". Closet é closet, mesmo no Brasil; é um armário em que você pode entrar, como um pequeno cômodo. Guarda-roupa é um móvel que, nos EUA é chamado de wardrobe. É pouco usado, mas ainda assim se chama wardrobe. Também é chamado de "armoire". Closet e wardrobe são duas coisas diferentes! Veja o link:
