Vertical cellular shades. We did them in a 5 ft wide (not huge - but had sliding doors so you couldn't reach anything in the center) closet. They fold to one side at around 3 inches. Full access to the stuff inside. You can't use them for a design wall though... they are pleated.

I am fond of lightweight curtains for closets. Cover the clutter, and easily are moved completely out of the way for easy access.

I only do this in rooms where the cats aren't allowed, though. Curtains will not keep cats out of closets, and actually seems to attract the fuzzy beggars. ;-)

Doors and a way to attach a design wall.

I love the idea of the barn doors. They are so popular now. I keep looking around my house hoping to figure out a place to use one. So far, no inspiration.

I would also go for doors - just me!

if you put on doors can you use them as your design wall?

I love to see my fabric, it inspires me

Exactly my thoughts!

I would keep the doors on to help keep dust and dirt off of fabric and avoid light. It makes it a lot easier to see with it off but I think I would keep them. I have so much that I have things in front of the door and have to move things to get in the closet. Maybe I need to downsize. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! LOL.

No doors but buy2, 4x8 sheets of foam. cover each separately and use for design wall in front of closet. Very easy to move as needed. Can be cut to size. Mine is 2" thick and stands alone.

Doors on for me!

doors on my thinking

I would like the doors on. It would make the room look neater plus protect the thread and fabric from fading.

You will want to cover the fabric you store with something...Maybe a nice sheet...

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.

I would opt for doors - I agree with the reasons given by others here - especially since it would minimize dust, insects, etc and keep out sunlight so that your fabric stays good as new.

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).

Doors on! You will enjoy working in a neater looking place.

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.
