Unless your doors are really ugly, I’d keep them instead of putting up curtains.

No, no curtains on closet doors. Bad idea. It looks, I don't know what word to use that would not insult a social group. At best, it looks like a teenager's room.

But you could maybe dress up the existing doors. Could you post a photo?

The previous owners of our old house never put doors on the closets in the upstairs in our old house. It was my teenage girl's space so I tried to decorate with fun curtains but they always looked messy. When we finally added closet doors it made the spaces look much more finished.

Can we see what you want to replace?

Here is the curtain I use to replace a bi-fold door to my linen closet.

I did store the bi-fold doors in the garage.

lol graywings! The doors are already down but here is a link to very similar doors. https://www.homedepot.com/p/36-in-x-80-in-Colonial-Primed-Textured-Molded-Composite-MDF-Closet-Bi-fold-Door-THDJW160600151/202037489. We're putting barn doors on the bathroom door to the right of it and on my closet door which is on another wall. This may be our forever home; we're in our 50s and no kids at home. I'll try to get a photo of his closet. He doesn't want the doors back up so I'm looking for another solution but they may go back up anyway. I have no decorating skills but I'm determined to learn damnit! Here's a link that shows curtains that look decent: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/one-room-challenge-master-bedroom-reveal/ though I think it would look better if they matched the grey?

Is it the doors that irritate him or the defective hardware that you find so often on bifolds. You can change the hardware if the door is wonky. I have done it on several bifolds in my house.

While that link you sent is probably the nicest curtained closet I have seen, I still think the bi-fold doors look nicer. Sorry but IMO the curtain feels like you couldn't afford to buy a door

Well the closet with the curtain in the link has lovely wall paper and no clothes. Most people don't keep closets empty. A door is the way to go.

I had to use curtains for covering closets in our dorm faculty apt at a boarding school in Maine - there were no doors - these had been dorm rooms. I hated it beyond belief. I felt like I was living in a SRO flop house, even with nice fabric. Do NOT get rid of your doors!

Hi You're,

I have curtains on my bedroom closet, but it's not a built in closet like yours and it works perfectly for me, but my situation is entirely different. We live in very small quarters, if I had folding/swinging doors, we'd never fit our queen sized bed in the room comfortably.

Have you tried grommet? And a curtain not so poofy, but has weight?

Mine are similar to the above.

Having the door scraping on the rug would drive me crazy.

I vote you try a different curtain!

We'll I lied. There is only one larger bi-fold door on the closet, not two but hubs put it back up to today and yes it needs hardware. So I guess this one is solved for now but I will be back asking for help on what item looks best hanging over my beside table/ vintage card table I just bought off Facebook Marketplace. :) Apartment Therapy says my design style is New Traditional. I want to try an eclectic mix and see how that works.
