Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.

One of the things I really like about a closed closet full of clothes is the noise insulation between bedrooms.

I am not sure of the benefit of noise insulation unless the closet is the length of the room or a situation where the closets of 2 rooms take that entire wall up. In those cases, good point.
I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.

I think that a concertina door will fill your requirements perfectly. It's door from me. I suggest that two pair of concertina doors with magnetic catches will save space and if it will fit the decor, put a mural on them or they can just be painted to fit in with the rest of the walls.r ranson wrote:It's got the fake wall in front, but is basically a 3 foot wide room for clothes that goes full length and height.
It's pretty standard here for houses built or renovated late 1960s to late 1990s. Fill that with clothes, books, etc, and it's amazing insulation.
Since about a third of it is for clothes, one idea was to get a wardrobe and move the long term storage back into the basement. But it turns out, because stuff, removing the wall in front of the closet isn't an option. So she's back to doors or no doors.

I noticed how the room door swings over the closet opening. We would have had the same issue but out carpenter suggested that we put the hinges on the other side, and swing it through 180 degrees against the ajoining wall. Unfortunately my phone is on the blink and the camera is not working so cannot do a photo. Here is one I found on YouTube. The best part is that with the compensating hinges, the door jamb does not have to be moved in to be flush with the wall edge. I could not get the youtube link to embed so here is the URL of a 180 degree opening doorr ranson wrote:I'm just grateful it's not my room. I'm just showing how to do the pre painting work. Although concertina doors sound ideal for her situation. Just look at the door closet relationship. Nightmare.
My room comes later. Still on the fence if I want to go door or alchove.
