I took of 2 bi-fold doors from two full closets and had shelves put in them. Then I got some shower curtain rod and made light weight curtains (actually these were twin sheets from thrift store $2.00) for them..It cleans up the look and also protects fabric from light that might fade them.

l agree with maniac quilter. Keepmthe light away from fabric. Bifolds open nicely if they're installed correctly. They're a pain if not, though. Make sure the track on top is level, and the mounting screw holding the stopper is just right ( easy to adjust if it's not).

I agree. When we repainted out kitchen, Dh wanted to take couple doors off. Nope. Looks like chaos to me when I see uncovered shelves, doors that don't shut that should enclose and protect from elements. Exception would be decorative.

I have a small sewing room/office (9x10) and the closet bifold doors took up way too much room - plus, the corners of the closet were virtually unusable because I couldn't get at them. I took off the doors and I now have so much more room. I don't have a huge stash, so I don't worry about fabric fading, besides the room doesn't get any sunshine. I keep the closet tidy, and I'm the only one who uses my room, so I'd rather have the extra space than the "tidy look." I guess each of us does what works for us.
