I would leave it open, you're protecting your fabric by keeping the blinds drawn.

Glass doors with UV glass or perspex? If DH is handy, he could cut the existing doors and use them as a frame. Or you could go colonial style, with divided windows?
My husband, much as I love him, is a chocolate teapot, so I am a little envious!

I would go for a design wall. It could be hidden behind a plinth/ shelf above your door and if you later decide to replace the original doors hey you still have the design wall.

It is too pretty to cover up. I would leave the doors off. I don't have doors on mine.

I have doors on mine that swing like regular doors only they have a magnetic catch and don't latch. I hang over the door hangers on the outside and made a design wall of flannel hung on a shower rod so I can roll it up and put it away. Works great.

You have it so well organized I would opt for pretty tie back curtains, you could even make them real quick w/ a twin sheet.

Where did he get the shelves? My hubby is going to remake my shelves in my studio closet, and i like yours. Any helpful hints would be appreciated!

An easy way to see if you like the curtain Idea is to go to your local big box and get a tension shower curtain rod, and a cheap shower curtain at the local dollar store. Taa Daa! now you can see if a curtain works for you, and you've only spent $10! I would try a clear one, to see through, and to keep dust out. You would still see your beautiful stash, but no dust bunnies!

If you put the velcro on the back side and wrap the flannel around when you take it off you wouldn't see the velcro strips.
I love both of those ideas. Wish I had room for a design wall
