Sliding Closet Doors in Miami FL: All the European Trends in Your Room!

By Chris Ayanbadejo

As a young child, I learned that the upstairs' closet could make quite the hiding place. When in one of my more adventurous states, I would open the closet door and close it behind me, almost all of the way.

One great alternative to your closet door situation that you may wish to consider in order to help allow you access to your closet in a confined space is by fitting sliding doors to it.

The great thing about using sliding doors on a closet is that you will still have access to everything inside but you just simply slide the closet door to one side in order to gain access. No longer will you need to worry that you only can open the door to your closet a few inches before it hits something or that you have to squeeze your way into it through the narrowest of openings just so you can search right at the back to find what you are looking for. This particular type of closet door is not only really simple to install and use but is also very effective in saving you space that you simply do not have to spare.

To add a bit more functionality to the doors, you can opt to mount mirrors on them. Now you can really save wall space when mounting mirrors on the sliding closet doors.

Also, I love the ease in moving these doors so that I can get in to the closet. This matters because I developed arthritis a few years ago and the simplest of things became obstacles for me. There were going to be enough battles for me to overcome in the years ahead, ones that I would not be able to control so easily as selecting the type of closet doors I have in my home.

These style of doors allow for a great deal of creative use. The basement area of our home is a full basement with 8 foot ceilings. Fortunately, it is dry year round and there are eight windows built in to the foundation walls.

If glass is still your fancy but you don't really want everything inside of your closet to be seen, then frosted or stained glass sliding closet doors would be the other options. Otherwise, a combination of sliding glass and wooden doors could be the solution.

Some of these doors are made of special linens and others are made of very thin, opaque glass which allows in, the "glow of light" but nothing else. All of this is still in the planning stages, but at least I won't be jumping back from the screams of some little creature as I pass by my closet doors. Gees ! Too Bad !
