If you’re building or renovating a home, the type of closet doors you choose is a small but significant detail. The right closet doors can make your belongings much more convenient to reach, while the wrong ones may get in your way and detract from your home’s aesthetics. When making your decision, consider these three main options.

3 Closet Door Styles

1. Swinging Doors

A swinging door reveals your entire closet, but unfortunately requires extra space to open. Still, if you have the room to install them, you can use the same hinged designs that appear throughout your home, or choose attractive and customizable pivot doors that turn on top and bottom pivots rather than side hinges.

2. Sliding Doors

If you need to save space, these doors are the number one way to do it. Sliding door arrangements with two panels are common, although the downside is that you can only access half your closet at a time. Another option is pocket doors, which slide into the wall to open.

3. Folding Doors

This option is a happy medium between swinging and sliding doors, offering some of the sliding door’s space-saving power and most of a swinging door’s ease of access. You can find these doors in bi-fold and accordion styles, with a number of variations in their appearance and design. However, they do have a slight tendency to come off their tracks if not handled carefully.
