Let's talk about laundry closets
Comments (30)Kirkhall, without doubt, that's the easiest, cheapest option here -- I looked at Lowes online and found nothing bigger than 36" and told myself, "Well, that's what's available". This would eliminate the need for a separate door. Everything could fit together in one room, nothing stacked and room for the cart. Thanks for sharing this! Yes, blocking the hallway would be a negative. These doors are 24" each, and my hallway's in the neighborhood of 42" ... so that would mean a person could turn sideways and scoot by these opened doors, but it wouldn't be convenient. However, realistically, if the washer door is open, it's blocking the hallway, so does it really matter if the bifold door ALSO blocks the hallway? Choices!

Comments (2)OH wow what a disappointment Caroline. I love my closet curtains. Lets the clothes breathe. I took the closet door off the very first thing we moved in here. Hubby had a fit but got over it. I really hope I do not have the same door issues you are having when i go to hang the bedroom bifold doors. A down the road project. I did get the doors at a yard sale and they are the right size for the opening with a wee bit to spare. I think this is a good thing but not sure. I hope to put some thing in them instead of louvers that will let light through. Shying away from glass because of the animals. I just want to let light into the hallway....See MoreSmall Closet Space, choosing access location
Comments (0)I have this corner of space that I really want to use the best way possible. Inside the bathroom I would like to access a portion of it for linen storage. I am thinking either a narrow deep closet space for the bathroom or just shallow open shelves along the whole width of the space allowing the rest of the depth to be used from another location. I would like to put the door to access this right on the corner of the dining room but that would mean a door, with trim, along that wall. It would then serve as extra storage for kitchen appliances that are not used a lot, or even extra storage for drinks, cleaning supplies, etc. Putting it in the hallway would perhaps be more aesthetically pleasing, but I do have designed right now that all my smart controls and thermostat go on that wall right where the door would need to be to access this space from the hallway. My question is, where would you put the door and how would you divide this space between bathroom and secondary closet storage? Edit: The closet space itself is 3' deep (if looking at it from hall or bathroom) and 2' 6" wide....See MoreSpace saving door in the bathroom
Comments (15)How would you get through the opening if you did bypass barn doors. Even if you can fit through on your own, with a load of towels in your arms or a laundry basket you'd never fit. If the door banging on the tub is the problem, you can put a stop on the hinge so it will only open so far and not hit the tub. It can open well past 90° now which is not such a bad arrangement; I've experienced lots of bathroom doors that bang walls, tub, or sink and don't even open as far as yours does. In fact I don't think I've ever been in a bathroom where the door doesn't hit *something* if opened wide enough. I'm afraid adding barn doors, pocket door, bifold doors will just make the bathroom less private and won't necessarily acheive what you're hoping for. The bathroom isn't big. But there's a lot you can do to make a small space charming, if you embrace what you have. PS I'm currently living with your bathroom's little sister powder room. Same colours, finishes, etc. And the door slams into the sink if we don't latch it; floor is sloped. So I get the frustration completely. ETA: after reading your last post, I think the chance of bashing someone in the closet is relatively small. You could just mention "coming out" when you leave the bathroom if you think there might be someone there....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
