It seems you have lots of bulkier fabrics that are hard to neatly fold...I would opt for the doors. Maybe paint them same as the wall color. Also, instead of sliders, I would hinge the doors so they open out, and make each a half of a design wall...killing two birds with one stone (hide your stash, adding valuable design wall) can't wait to see your finished product!

I would do doors to protect the stuff inside from dust and my cat hairs and any possible fading that might occur do to light from the windows. I had fabric stored on a book shelf and some fabric faded and the white ended up with yellowing on the areas where the fold was.

Hahahaha! Normally when you do a "survey" on here, the answers are 50-50 either way. It's sad, because I just love the color that I painted inside the closet. And the cubes looked so great stacked in there empty. But after I filled them, it just looks so messy!
I'm looking around. I think a French door style so I can hung stuff on the inside and make a design wall on the outside sounds great. Maybe with a barn door styling so it looks rustic when I take the flannel down.

No Doors

I guess I'll have to live with it a while before I decide if this looks too messy and needs to be hidden behind bifold doors. What do you think?
