My linen has a regular door. Louvered bi-folds are a pain to keep clean, so the stuff inside the closet likely isn't completely clean either.

I would choose a regular door.

Another vote for using a regular door instead of bifold.

Regular door would be my choice too.

There were several bifolds in my previous condo, and I hated them. All regular doors!!

Regular door. Not a bifold. I like bifold on closets, that have wide openings, other than that, no. Regular doors are much nicer.

Swing door, and more drywall has to come out to frame it. To access a high shelf where the header restricts it, you shorten the shelf depth. In your case of a 15" deep closet, the top shelf would be like 6" deep. So rethink the height and spacing of the shelves.

Solid. You can’t hide behind bifolds.

• 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.
