People typically put the closet rods in the middle of the closet. Minimum closet depth is 24" so that puts the closet rod at 12" too. Certain types of clothing tend to extend past the edge of the hanger. The sleeves of jackets and dress shirts for example. So you want to have room for them.
Good air circulation is also important to minimize chances of mold and mildew. Especially important if the back wall of the closet is an exterior wall. The standard is 67" up to the top of a 1X4 ledger and 12" from drywall for single hanging.
This is what I learned 40 years ago from my then 60 year old mentor. But there is nobody waiting with a hammer, if is varies.
My mentor would have waited though. If the closet is shallower than 24" you can reduce it to the center of the closet as close as 10" as Testor suggests.
The dimension to the back of the door give a little room for this to work if need be. For double hanging to keep clothing from dragging severely over the lower setting and on the floor, 42" and 84", I learned this from my own closet at home.
If it is a child's room these can be varied too, say down to 40" and 80". When planning how it will go together, have your center support bracket on hand that you plan to use. Some manufacturers make the seat that the pole sets in different heights.
The former will need a 1X backer at the top were the latter will not. Most center brackets are gauged to use a 1X on the wall to get the back of the bracket in the same plane as the ledger. To determine whether you need center support or not, for me, is a rule of thumb that I picked up over time.
So, wife had her brother build her a closet in a room that had no closet while he was here last weekend. I just finished my rookie paneling and sheetrock work. Now for a Clothes Rod that will span the length of the closet. In my laundry room I had a six-foot clothes rod that is supported on each end by brackets hung onto the studs.

In the s, home builders began to forego the old wooden closet rod in favor of an integrated wire closet rod and shelf. This is still the standard type of closet system installed by most builders because it is very inexpensive.
It comes in a inch depth and the wire is covered with a white vinyl coating, so it never rusts. The rod and shelf are welded together with the rod section suspended from the front of the shelf. Angled brackets add additional support.
When money is tight, this type of closet rod may be useful. It is the cheapest option. Unfortunately, the single rod and shelf provided by most builders doesn't make the best use of closet space.
Many homeowners who have wire rod and shelf systems will eventually switch them out with a higher-level custom closet design in laminate or wood that maximizes all available space for storage. The Oval Rod is the standard choice when it comes to custom closets.
It offers the simplest of the custom closet rod designs and considered a very good "Entry Level" option. The polished chrome oval rod is the most economical choice of all custom closet rods.
When you are building a large custom closet and need a lot of hanging space, this is the option many will turn to. Its clean, practical design is a classic that never goes out of style. It attaches to the closet by use of two rod cups that snap into the vertical panels of the closet.

The Signature Series rods have the most mounting options or choices of color. Mounting brackets are available for traditional use on side panels, for hanging below a shelf, or for use with slanted ceilings. They are available in all five of the most popular coordinated finishes sold at Closet Works.

But the new rods are far from the old wooden ones used in the past. It includes a plastic cover across the top of the rod to offer a smooth and quiet surface while avoiding the top of rod being scratched by metal hangers. This style rod can also be used on slanted ceilings.
Pull-down rods are useful when you want to mount the closet rod high overhead in an out-of-reach location. This might mean you have high ceilings and want to make maximum use of the space, or it may be that you are on the shorter side and the upper rod is simply not convenient for you. The pull-down rod is much easier to use than a shepherd's hook for everyday use. Pull-down rods can have either manual or motorized operation.
