Oooh.... Nice!

Sliding doors on a reach in closet are awful as they block access to one side or the other. I was always sliding them. Hated it and eventually removed them. The only advantage to sliding doors over french doors is they don't take up wall space.

yeah, you're going to be tired of the tumble of shoes or whatever. another vote for french doors, opaque.

Bifold doors would be better for excess and not see through, I would rather have mirror.

thanks for the feedback everyone! French doors are a pretty hard no because the doors would take up too much space in our room when open. We're pretty set on sliding doors. Would you recommend a solid wood vs the glass? Mirror is out since each closet would be roughly 8 ft wide that's too much mirror for my taste.

The glass panel doors certainly look more interesting that a plain flat door....I guess you could always apply something on the inside of the glass to mask the closet contents a little more. Big sheet of thin white paper cut to size or a lightweight/thin fabric, etc. Simulating a little more frosting on the glass, if it isn't already obscurant enough for your space, lighting, and stuff.

On the other hand, doors with such large glass panels near floor level might not be the safest thing if small children are around....

I have sliding doors - had them before my remodel and replaced them with newer ones with better tracks. I don't find access at all difficult. My closet is organized so that I don't have to slide the doors back and forth - it's not rocket science.

I have "glass" doors in my bedroom and bathrooms and the glass is "lamina". It is completely opaque so even though it has the visual lightness of glass, you cannot see anything behind it.

FWIW, my sliding doors are mirror. It is highly functional so I have huge mirrors and it also visually enlarges the room whether blinds or open or shut. I do have a view so it is nice to have the view reflected in the mirrors when blinds are open.

This is my door with the "lamina" glass. Not a great photo but it shows the completely opaque nature of the "glass" insert.

I replaced all interior doors w/ frosted glass ones on silver aluminum frames. Only two closets are not a walk-ins, and they have sliding doors. One inna bedroom has wood-tone metal option as the room is all antiques. Now I wish I had kept it silver too. Sliders on entryway closet also. Love them! Well made and slide like a dream and do not interfere w/ other things in room.

I used glass for my pantry and laundry room. The glass interior room doors, bathroom too, on the hallway allow the room window light, to lighten the hallway too. Upper kitchen cabinets frosted glass also. Somehow, even frosted they don’t stop the eye like more solid wood, etc., and things seem larger, more open, brighter. The frosted glass obscures well unless lit from inside, OR whatever is up against the glass/touching. Easy cleaned but READ what they say about cleaning before you spray ANYTHING on them, glass or frames.

does your room get direct sun? We’ve had issues in the past with doorless closets and sun bleaching. because of that I like a windowless dark closet.

My wardrobe is 4m wide with 4 glass sliding doors, 2x white glass and 2x mirrors it works very well but be careful when using white glass sometimes it has greenish tinge due to glass colour itself.

I have a walkin closet in my master that had mirrored sliders. I removed the doors and tracks when I put in vinyl plank flooring and I really like to openness of no doors but wanted the ability to close closet off on occasion. I put up an attractive verticle blind that gives me many diversified looks. The blind takes up minimal space, can be fully closed, vanes can be rotated at various degrees, can be opened as much or as little as needed to access the closet or fully open for a larger master suite feel, many various options for aesthetic appearance. My closet is not visible when you enter the room, it is across from the vanity area. But with minimal storage space in a 2 bedroom condo, it is not always the neatest! The verticle blind was a relatively inexpensive option that is surprisingly attractive. I also used a verticle blind to cover my laundry closet in my condo, again with a lot of flexibility. Much more attractive than an accordion door and takes up less space than my old bifold. And is easily updated with replacement vanes, vinyl or fabric in a variety of colors. An alternative to the usual door options.
