Closet Doors Don't Have To Be Boring
By Neil Day

Whether you're remodeling or building from scratch, closet doors should not be the last consideration on your decorating list. The fact is these doors can make as much of a design statement as any other door in your home and perhaps even more.

Some people prefer basic blank doors to open the entries and exits to every room in their homes, their closets, too. But, when these are used for closet doors, the effect can be very bland and boring unless the surrounding decorating scheme calls for something neutral to tone it down or blend in.

Let's consider some of the other options beyond plain, blank wooden doors for use as closet doors. You're really not limited to a single choice. The fact is doors for closets can help create an overall decorating look that makes rooms stand out as extraordinary.

Louvered closet doors are the choice many homeowners make for their own closets. Offering more of a design for the eye to take in than a regular blank door, louvered doors are another common choice for closets. These look beautiful, but do come with one downfall. These doors can be a little tricky to clean.

Panel closet doors can range from ordinary, straight wood, to those that have designs cut in. They can even include recessed panels and a combination of panels and louvers. There are no real downfalls to these doors.

Mirror closet doors can create a great illusion effect while making a beautiful statement beyond ordinary wood. These doors will make a room appear to be larger than it is and will stand out from regular wooden doors. The only downfall with mirrors is the cleaning required. They do attract fingerprints.

Fabric closet doors can be spectacular decorator statements in and of themselves. Depending on where they're purchased, they can even be customized to take on any design a homeowner might require. Keeping these clean will require a bit of work, but it can be worth it for the visual effect these doors have. This is one of the best options for bringing a door into an overall room's design.

There are a host of other options when it comes to closet doors. They can be regular hinge construction, bi-fold or even pocket in their hanging mechanism. Each brings its own style options to the table.

If you need to choose closet doors to compliment a remodel or for new construction, take care in making the choice. These doors don't have to be boring.
