What's wrong with the current doors?I think they look cool, they bring height to the room. If you paint them the same color as the walls, they will disappear. and likely make the room look larger too. I like the tall doors but hard to tell if they are cohesive to the space without pics of the entire space. I see a peek of a mid century bedside table, that that might not be intentional. I'd save the money on both closet doors and wall changes and remove the popcorn ceiling for a more updated look.

I have to agree they are pretty non descript so paint them like the walls and be done.I see no point in adding wall space above regular sized doors .Do what you like for new bedroom door and make the others fade away

Thank you so much for the feedback and yes, there is a bit of a mid-century vibe in our house. We are definitely having the ceilings scraped when we paint the rooms, but the closet door height and whether or not to add wall space above was our main concern. Never thought of them as adding height to the room, but now that it's been mentioned, it does make sense. As far as replacing them, they are really not in the best of shape and there is some kind of paper type material on top that is bubbling and peeling away, so they do need to be replaced.

As for the closet doors themselves, should we go with or without a metal frame/trim? If the doors have metal trim framing them, would they stand out more even if we did paint them the color of the rest of the room?

Did you replace them? I have the same set up and am having difficulty finding sliding doors tall enough
