Do Inward swinging Bi-Fold Closet Doors work?
Comments (4)Actually it would open inward flush with shelving in the closet, so it won't cut into closet space. My main concern is losing space in the bedroom when it is open!...See MoreCloset doors - bifold + half of bifold?
Comments (4)We used to have our hampers in the bedroom, but they take up a lot of space in our bedroom's reach in closet (we don't have a walk in and our room isn't huge). Since we have the space in the hallway right outside of our bedroom, I thought we could expand our linen closet and add a laundry section like I had seen in photos online. Because it isn't in a laundry room, I didn't want to leave it open to the hallway and I also didn't like the idea of laundry in with my clean linens, so I thought putting up a wall between them would make sense.

Comments (10)It seems that louvered doors are out of favor, and perhaps have little function for most.

Not black mold, but aspergillis-- which is relatively harlmess, but does bother many people. That has happened here before. One solution is to make sure all the doors are open when nobody is in the house, and take some risk with open windows when the ocean breeze is 95+ humidity! Other solution is louvered doors. I really dont like the ones with 1" slats (so 1880's builder grade!), so am leaning to the 2 1/4" plantation slats. Thats the story!...See MoreBifold or Regular Door for Linen Closet
Comments (9)Louvered doors are traditionally installed on linen closets as a humidity control. Modern houses don't usually require that. Bifold doors are commonly used on closets as a space-saving measure- no need to keep a large area of floor clear so that the door can swing. So if you don't have space or humidity issues, use the door type that pleases you....See MoreRelated Professionals
