Popular Closet Door Options
Are you interested in considering the different styles available for the closet doors in your home? There are many options that are very popular. Here are a few to think about. Talk with a Closet Professional to get ideas and pricing information.
French Doors
Everyone loves French doors opening outdoors to a deck so why not consider having them in your bedrooms. French doors leave a large space for you to view your closet contents since it swings outward instead of inward. Add some molding to the frame to add to the design.
Sliding Barn Doors
“Closet sliding doors are a great way to save space in your room. They don’t fold out like a traditional accordion door, so you instantly create more usable space. If you love the rustic look, a sliding barn door will help you achieve that theme in your room. If you’re having trouble finding a barn door, distressed wood doors are another option that still helps achieve that look. With sliding closet doors there are typically two options. One option is to have your door slide into the wall, or a “pocket door.” These disappear into the wall so it’s completely out of the way when needed. However, this does involve some restructuring of the wall itself, so it’s best to contact a pro. The second option is to hang the door with a closet door roller kit, where the door slides outside of the wall. This can be found at many local hardware stores and includes everything needed to hang your closet door. Be sure to find a kit that meets the specifications needed for thickness and weight capacity,” states Improvenet.com.
Louvered Doors
Louvered doors use a shutter or accordion system for the door. It allows light to flow through the closet and it is very attractive in a wood finish.
Glass Doors
If you are going for a more modern contemporary look, consider have glass doors for your closets. You could even add a frost to the glass so it will hide your storage but give it a unique look.
Mirror Doors
Add a sophisticated mirror design to the outside of your closet doors and it will not only help your form but the function too but letting you view your morning outfit for work or that “wow” factor for going out at night on a romantic dinner.
Bifold Doors
It doesn’t have the be the “old” bifold doors of the past. You can add color, wallpaper, shutters, fabric or wood to take it to the next level. Get creative and you’ll be happy with the outcome.
Curtains
To save space or just for a unique style, some homeowners like to use curtains to cover their storage areas instead of using a closet door. A thicker fabric can hid the storage but still have style.
Chalkboard Paint on Doors
In an office or a child’s room, chalkboard paint on the outside of your closet doors can be a signature statement or a fun creative place to play and communicate.
