Bedroom Closet Door Ideas

Alternative Closet Doors Can Be Anything You Can Imagine

Sometimes a plain old closet door just doesn’t seem to fit your style. There are a lot of alternative closet doors that you can implement to cover the opening of your closet such as curtains, beads, drapes, sheets and room dividers. You can also use different types of doors like pocket, swinging, café style and saloon style. Many of these ideas are very affordable while others may require a deeper dip in the pocket. With the right alternative closet doors you can create a style that is all your own while updating your home to a more modern look.

One of the cheapest ways to cover a closet is with a cotton sheet. Of course you will want something that will go with your décor so the 400-Thread Count Wrinkle-Free Sateen Sheet from thecompanystore.com offers their sheets in a variety of colors. They are available separately and run between $22.99 for a twin to $46.99 for a king. If this seems a little too down to earth for you, you can cover the doorway with a drape like the Eclipse Theodore Thermaweave Window Panel from target.com. These are a “blackout” drape that offers noise reduction and comes in sizes from 52” x 63” for $24.99 to 52 x 95 for $34.99.

More stylish alternative closet doors could be a beaded curtain like the Diamond Cut Black Iridescent Beaded Curtain from mysticdreamsshoppe.com. Because of the iridescent covering on the beads, they glisten all colors of the rainbow. They come in one size only, 35” x 72” in 34 strands for $26.00. There are a number of curtains like this that would work well for a closet like faux crystal beads or even bamboo beads. A word of warning; your closet must remain neat and tidy when using this style of door covering. No one wants to see a messy closet and these do not cover completely.

If you are considering more of an oriental style of décor, try a shoji room divider. These are very contemporary and offer you a variety of sceneries that are imprinted on the rice paper shade like the 4-Panel Room Divider, Cherry 4 Paper Panels. They come with a solid pine frame and feature a cherry tree with blossoms on the rice paper. It measures 60” x 70” and can be found at Walmart.com for $129.00. For a more traditions style of door the Pinecroft 32” x 42” Prefinished White Louvered Café Door is perfect for only $192.00 at homedepot.com. It allows your closet to breathe and air out smells from shoes.

A space saving option might be a Bypass Mahogany 1-Panel Door from buywooddoors.com. They come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses and come unprepared with a complete hardware kit. They range in price from $499.00 to $658.00. By visiting your local retailers you can find alternative closet doors that will help you add your own sense of style to your home. Doors don’t necessarily have to be a traditional door. They can be anything you can imagine and then some.
