Keep the door style similar. I prefer hinge doors over bifold doors.

You can get two narrow hinged doors. I used them for a bed & bath room because of limited space for "the swing". It was a great decision and love them. Yes, they are raised panels.

This is a prob a 32" opening. The doors came as a unit and I installed them. I think they were a special order from Lowe's.

this is the space.

re kitchen. Your living room is lovely...Yes try some blue. Blue hardware would have worked also. Maybe at some point you could change them out.

how about trying bright blue placemats. (not too dark) or blue large bowl, tea towel, blue container for plant, large blue candle sticks, there are lots of options..On my monitor, the floor in Living Room seems very close in color to your kitchen cabinets so that also brings the rooms together. Having a touch of blue in most of your rooms will really bring the rooms together. (I hope it is your favorite color) :)

re closet door. does it just require an adjustment. take a really good look at it. looks as if it might need to be raised a touch.

I'd paint the front door a deep color and find a nice rug for the entry.

For the closet, a few ideas,,,

you could try the double doors, a better made bi-fold door, or a single door

however, do you actually use that closet? Is it a necessity? I found a few ideas on how to revamp it.

basically you remove the doors and fix up the inside. (this is pretty basic, below, but the others above are a bit nicer) I like the one w/the bench, pull out drawers, and hangers for coats.

A few ideas for you to think about that would be appropriate for next to your cabinet. hope it will help your decision making. CC see how there is very little white. These all would complement your table and cabinets.

One door with the hinges on the right as in Beth's first pic, you don't have room for 2 doors as in Furniture Re-born's pic - there is nowhere for the left door to swing and it wouldn't open all the way.

Either fix or replace with a better quality bifold or similarly styled sliding paneled door. There really isn’t room for either a single or double swing door. Mirrored doors would be a step down, and sliders will have similar issues to bifold, so of those two choices, pick the one you prefer aesthetically and functionally. Bipass sliders will have a narrower opening.

I'd fix the door so that it opens smoothly and possibly paint it and its trim the same colour as the wall. Don't think mirrored sliding doors would be an upgrade.

ETA: Just saw your post about a single door. Measure carefully. Looks like a single door would be pretty awkward in that entry.

hi everybody. thank you for your suggestions and input. I thought I'd take a few more photos to show the closet and space etc.

Hiya, I just spent one whole year trying to find a house to buy and the ones that stood out the most had an open concept entryway like BethH has mentioned. Hooks, bench seat and baskets. Unless, you need to hide a vacuum, an open closet is very efficient and can be personalized.Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

I hate sliding doors. They allow access to less than half of the opening and this looks like a rather narrow opening. I have bypass sliders in a 48" opening into a pantry and would much, much prefer bifold doors. OP's closet opening is much less than the 48" that I have.

I have the same darned sliders in two bedroom closets upstairs. Fortunately, there are bi-folds into the closet in my room.

The drawback to sliders is they allow access to only half the closet at a time.

“I think a single door with a handle that opens to the right would be best... there is enough room for that I think.”

I am glad that you are looking at other options. Having two full sized doors (outside and closet) that both open into this small space will be a nightmare. People will come into the house and will have to walk past the closet far enough so that you can close the main door and open the closet door wide enough (180 degrees from original) to then walk back into the entry to use the closet and then everyone has to again be out of the entry before the closet door can swing closed. Totally impractical.

just wanted to chime in about how much I dislike sliding doors too. Was so happy to remove from from 2 homes I've lived in. Hinged or bifold doors are so much better, as you can access/see everything at once.

I like what you have, bifold doors can be good space savers, still letting you have access to the whole closet. Taking the doors off, like the photos above, is also a cute idea if you don't have a need to hide anything. Another really inexpensive option is hanging curtain panels.

Why is anyone talking about sliding doors?!?!?!

Where would they slide to? The opening is only 28" and when you split it in half for sliders, you'll be left with an opening that's little more than 12" wide. That's ludicrous. Use some common sense.

not related..
different room... but can someone just tell me - is this too small for above the couch

Yes that is too small for above the couch. Two that size would be fine.

that picture is great. don't center it. keep to one side. not all art needs to be centered or framed. cc if you have a thick hardcover book you could raise the lamp up. hint: bottom of lamp shade should be shoulder height of person when sitting in chair. :)
