Open closets are quickly becoming a trend in many interior spaces. They are a great way to display your wardrobe and will make your space feel larger and more spacious. 

Depending on the styling, open closets can also make up part of your interior decor.

Discover 18 ingenious open closet concepts designed to make your dressing routine effortless and enjoyable. From minimalist racks to stylish shelving units, these ideas maximize space and add flair to any bedroom. Explore how to keep your wardrobe organized and accessible, transforming your mornings with ease and elegance.

Sometimes, these closets are born out of necessity rather than design, but no matter the case, you can find the right open closet concept or design to suit your space. 

We’ve compiled 18 open closet concepts that we are sure will pick your interest.

Take a look!

1. Go for a Natural Look

An open closet idea can help create a calm, relaxed vibe in a space, making it feel cozy and more comfortable. Use a combination of natural materials, such as natural wood, to give the room an open, casual look. 

Try incorporating other natural materials, like wooden or natural fiber boxes, and elevate the naturalistic feel. This mainly works for spaces with plenty of natural light.

2. Open Closet and Drawer Combination

@pamo.design

An open closet makes arranging your clothes and sporting through them so much easier. While closets are ideal for everyday clothes or items you use often, they can be limited in terms of storing delicate clothes or expensive accessories. This is why a closet drawer combination is a good idea. 

On one side, you can store your everyday clothing items, while the other drawer provides ample storage for accessories and delicate clothes.

This closet design, which features bottom drawers with an open closet on top, creates the ultimate storage solution for all your dressing needs.

3. Utilize a Walk-In closet 

open closet 3

@studio_bearch

Many homeowners dream of having a walk-in closet. It provides ample storage and a dedicated space for dressing. The good news is that you don’t need a lot of space to create one. 

In this design, the bed space also doubles as a closet, with a walk-in closet located below it. The draw-in curtains cover the closet and make the design more inconspicuous while adding to the bed’s design.

4. Combine it with Décor 

open closet 4

@lavender_julep

As previously stated, when styled right, an open closet can contribute to your room’s décor. Here, either side of the closet acts as a clothes storage space, while the middle is reserved for décor.

A combination of books, baskets, and houseplants adds to the closet’s beauty, while the drawer and the bottom increase the storage available. 

5. Utilize Basket Storage

open closet 5

@extraspace

While an open closet creates an easily accessible storage space, it’s unlikely that all your clothes will fit in it unless you have a really large open storage space. In cases where the space is limited, you may have to improvise with the extra storage. 

Here, the extra storage has been provided by woven baskets. They are easy to organize and can also be used as compartments for different items. Adding a few extra shelves may be necessary if you’re planning on using several baskets.

6. Try a Boho-Style Open Closet 

open closet 6

@byelw_

Boho style is defined by natural elements, colors, and materials that bring about a calm, natural look to a space. When trying a bohemian-style open closet, go for natural materials such as wood and introduce some plants to complement the style. 

In this design, the closet uses natural wood, and the baskets are also made from natural fibers such as jute and bamboo. The wooden hangers used for the clothes complement the whole design, and the plant livens up the space.

7. Simple Open Closet Design 

open closet 7

@pamo.design

Sometimes, the most simple designs win the day. This minimalistic closet only contains the most essential attire. 

Double railings on the closet provide enough space to hang clothes. The design also incorporates shoe racks and side drawer storage, while the mirror completes this simple, all-around design. 

8. Ensure You Have Shoe Storage Space

open closet 8

@sonya_beck

Most closet spaces, whether open or closed, tend to forget about shoe storage, even though shoes are a critical part of our wardrobe. 

With this in mind, it’s essential to ensure you factor in shoe storage in your open closet, like in this design, where one side of the closet is dedicated to shoe racks. The closets also feature several clothing rods, shelves, and drawer space.

9. Keep the Space Free From Clutter 

open closet 9

@moretto.arquitetura

One of the best ways to keep any space organized is to keep it free from clutter. This not only makes it easy to navigate but also makes it easy to retrieve items. 

Considering that items are displayed openly, clutter could really impact the look of your closet and even the entire space. Here, the closet has been kept neatly organized with compartments, hanging rods, and clear surfaces.

10. Maximize the Clothing Rod

open closet 10

@pamo.design

In most closets and wardrobes, hanging or clothing rods are mainly used to hang heavy clothing items such as jackets, jumpers, or hoodies, but they can be used for much more than that. When used correctly, hanging rods may be all the storage space you need in your closet (except shoes, for obvious reasons). 

In this design, clothing rods have been used as the main storage solution for a variety of clothes, including shirts, T-shirts, and trousers. 

11. Divide it Up 

open closet 11

@designwithalign

One thing I like about clearly defined compartments is that they create a neat and well-organized space. Dividing your closet into various compartments will make organizing a breeze since you have a designated space for each item. 

This open closet design uses shelves to create compartments, each dedicated to a specific item. For example, the hanging rod section has been divided into sections for colored cardigans and monochromes.

12. Create Compartments

open closet 12

@nidajaafar

If creating shelves won’t do it for you, or if you have space limitations, then creating compartments may be the next best thing. They offer the same level of organization while using less space. 

Here, this open closet design uses several compartments for storage. The closed compartments can be used for storage, while the open compartments just below the hanging rod can be used for dirty laundry. The upper part of the closet is used for décor, which adds visual interest to the closet and the space. 

13. Utilize the Vertical Storage 

open closet 13

@extraspace

When it comes to small spaces, what really matters is how you utilize and maximize the available space. With an open closet design, one of the best ways to ensure you get the most out of the space is to use any vertical storage space available. 

In this open closet design, one side serves as a hanging space for coats and other heavy clothes, while the other side serves as a vertical storage space. The bottom shelf of the closet is also for bags and a small cabinet. 

14. Try a Monochromatic Look

open closet 14

@Traditional Closet

If you’re going for a chic look with your open closet, then monochrome clothing will do your design wonders. All you need to do is pick a color palette that you want to show off and display it on your clothing rod. 

You can fold the rest of your clothes and store them in the cabinets or on the shelves. This open closet embraces a monochromatic look, with earthy tones being the primary theme of the space.

15. Simple Industrial Look 

open closet 15

@Fit for a McQueen

Making the most out of your vertical spaces may sometimes require you to take the unconventional route. Here, the open closet design uses pipes as part of the support structure of the closet, giving an industrial vibe that blends well with the space. 

The location of the closet just after the bathroom makes this design practical and functional. Drawers have been added to maximize the storage space, while a mirror completes this well-rounded closet.

16. Try an Open Wardrobe Design 

open closet 16

@Tailored Living of Princeton

If you want to create an open closet design for the aesthetic benefits but already have a wardrobe, then don’t fret! An open wardrobe design is as good as an open closet. 

An open wardrobe allows you to display your clothes, bringing the same aesthetic benefits. The designated space for the wardrobe ensures that it does not take up extra space. The garment arrangement adds to the beauty of the space.

17. Try a Built-In Open Closet 

open closet 17

@Mountain Sky Closets

Even when you have limited space, an open built-in closet may be what you need to keep your place tidy and stylish. Built-in closet designs work well, especially if the closet is in a busy area, such as the living room or a corridor. 

These closets provide ample storage while keeping items conveniently out of the way. Here, the closet adds convenience to the space by featuring several day-to-day items like umbrellas and coats.

18. Add a Dressing Table

open closet 18

@The Container Store Custom Closets

An open closet gives your space a unique boutique feeling. To top it off, you can add a dressing table on the side to turn the space into the ultimate getting-ready spot. 

Here, good space utilization ensures that the closet covers only one side of the room while the other side has been used as an expansive dressing area.

]]>

If you are looking to replace your old closet door or just not too fancy about an ordinary door, we have selected some closet door alternatives that look nice, don’t cost a fortune and are easy to install.

…because, a home without a closet is no home at all, right?

Although closets are often underestimated or ignored in interior design and home decoration, they have their charm and beauty. Above all, they are the king of storage and organization.

Best Closet Door Alternatives and Options #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

The most popular way to separate a closet from a room is by using closet doors ( either bi-fold or hinged ), but if you want something different or are bored with the standard doors, we have selected the best closet door alternatives with their pros and cons.

1. Maximize Space with Closet Pocket Doors

Closet Pocket Doors  #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

These doors are an excellent option for anyone looking to save some space when adding doors to his or her closet.

They are perfect for cramped spaces because the doors slide easily into the wall when they need to be opened, making them one of the most popular closet door alternatives.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to install pocket doors, so homeowners often need to hire a professional to do the work, which will add to the final price of the door.

However, having a door that moves out of the way is worth it for some homeowners, especially those that can’t afford a luxury walk-in closet.

2. Add Modern Flair to Your Home with Curtain Closet Doors

Bedroom Closet Curtain Door Idea #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

This is one of the most versatile options for people looking for an alternative to their doors.

Since it’s easy to buy or make curtains in various fabrics, colors, and designs, they can be custom-made to fit the space and the décor perfectly.

Additionally, they’re relatively easy to put up, change, or wash and aren’t expensive.

The downside to curtain closet doors is that they don’t always fit naturally into a room and some people think they are a bit of an eyesore.

Children can accidentally pull them down out of the door if they are not careful. Still, curtains are a closet door idea you should consider if you are on a tight budget.

3. Add Lasting Charm with Louvered Closet Doors

Louver Doors For Closet #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

These doors open quickly to the side, allowing anybody to easily access almost every part of their closets.

The doors are on tracks that allow them to slide effortlessly and soundlessly when opening and closing, making them a quiet option.

Many louvered doors, however, are hard to keep clean due to the slatted design of the door. This means that they can quickly get dusty.

Some doors also tend to come out of the tracks. Since they can be difficult to readjust, this is frustrating for homeowners to deal with.

On the positive side – the slats in the doors allow the air to circulate inside the closet and create natural ventilation.

4. Bring Rustic Elegance with a Beads Closet Door

Beads Closet Door Alternative #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Beads make it incredibly easy to access the items inside a closet without opening a door.

It’s a simple option for any homeowner who wants to add a pop of color and texture to their room without sacrificing a closet’s hidden storage.

As with other alternatives, however, beads do have a few drawbacks.

One is that they can be hard to hold out of the way when trying to get something out of the closet. Another issue is that they can be noisy.

5. Indulge in the Lavish Look of French Closet Doors

French Doors Closet #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

These doors look striking when used instead of closet doors, partially because they come in pairs.

They often have glass panels along the length of the door and swing easily out from the wall, making them very visually appealing.

One issue with these doors is that the glass panels can easily show off a messy closet, making some people feel uncomfortable in their rooms.

While it’s possible to add curtains or frosted glass to French doors, this cuts down on the light and airy feeling that they provide space.

6. Add Style and Sophistication with Room Dividers

Room Divider As Closet Door #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Stylish room dividers are generally inexpensive, making them an excellent option for any homeowner on a budget.

They are a great way to add privacy to a room without overspending while adding a touch of style to the space.

Since dividers will hide that a closet door is missing, they may not be the best option for homeowners who will not be happy knowing that their rooms are incomplete.

They also occupy more space in the room than a traditional door would. , but they could be easily replaced or removed, so it’s an excellent option for renters.

7. Bring Farmhouse Charm with Closet Barn Doors

Rustic Barn Door For Closet #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Located on tracks above the door, barn doors quickly turn a closet from utilitarian into the room’s focal point.

They are striking and add a lot of visual interest. As long as the track is hung correctly, barn doors are easy to open and close and don’t take up space in the room by swinging out.

Unfortunately, the hardware for these doors can be expensive, making them cost-prohibitive to install.

Additionally, they must be hung perfectly, or they will not be easy to operate, which is frustrating, especially for children.

They are a good option for adding a more rustic or vintage look to your room.

8. Get a Polished and Trendy Look with Swinging Closet Doors

Swinging Closet Doors #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Saloon-style doors swing in both directions, making them a great option for use in a larger closet where they can move freely.

They are an excellent option for any room that feels cramped or cluttered, as they instantly make it much more open and airy.

As far as closet door ideas go, swinging doors don’t have a lot of drawbacks.

They can be noisy when shut, and some homeowners may struggle to find ones that provide them with full coverage in the doorframe. However, those are the only real drawbacks.

9. Add a Touch of Elegance with Mirrored Closet Doors

DIY Mirror Closet Doors #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Mirrored closet doors do a fantastic job reflecting light around a space, making it feel much airier and more open.

Since they are often decorated with gorgeous trim and handles, they can make any bedroom feel like an escape and a personal haven.

The problem with mirrors is that if a room is messy, they will reflect that mess, making it feel more cluttered and busy.

Additionally, they need to be cleaned regularly to look their best and aren’t dirty, hindering their ability to reflect light.

10. Bring Character And Warmth with Accordion Closet Doors

Vinyl Accordion Closet Door Alternative #closet #doors #organization #decorhomeideas

Unlike some other ideas for closet door alternatives, accordion doors are a great way to save space in the room and still allow easy access to the items in the closet.

These doors fold in on themselves so they don’t take up a lot of room. They are light, inexpensive, and easy to hang. Since they stay in the doorframe, however, they can make it difficult for some people to reach the entirety of the closet.

Additionally, as they fold up on themselves, they often make a loud clacking sound that can wake others. Another downside of an accordion door is they are made of plastic so they tend to age and break.

So, after seeing all these alternative closet door ideas, is it worth replacing your closet doors with an alternative option?

The answer is – it depends. Before choosing the perfect closet door, there are too many variables to consider.

]]>

A walk-in closet is a dream come true for many homeowners as they are visually appealing and offer a number of storage and organization options.

What’s more beautiful than walking into a room full of your shoes and clothes?

It’s a widespread belief that a walk-in closet is only affordable to the rich and wealthy, especially when you read magazines about houses of celebrities and royals, where a walk-in could cost a fortune – sometimes more than your entire house.

Best Walk-In Closet Ideas and Designs #closet #storage #decorhomeideas

Fortunately, there are a lot of DIY walk-in closets that are small, don’t cost a lot of money, and are still practical.

Of course, having a small walk-in closet is much more complicated to organize than having a big one. The key is to arrange your clothes and shoes the way you like them, easily reach them and declutter as much as possible.

It turns out that more and more homeowners want to have one in their new home – not as big as a bedroom, but rather small and functional.

Follow our tips and suggestions to plan and style your walk-in closet without spending a fortune. These ideas could be applied to “U”-shaped, “L”-shaped, or straight closets.

1. Add Stylish Lighting to Your Closet

2. Create an Efficient Workspace with a Home Office Closet

Closet Turned Into Home Office #closet #homedecor #decorhomeideas

There are some reasons why you have to create closet office as the replacement of office room inside of your home while you do not have enough space on your home.

The first common reason for choosing to create it is on its easiness to do. Turning the function of your closet for an office room on your home is much easier rather than has to replace the function of any other rooms for your office.

The second idea on our list today is a former closet which was turned into a writing desk. The blue whitepaper works perfectly as a background.

Although the space is tiny, it is cozy and chic. I especially like the transparent chair, which fits great with the blue interior.

3. Transform Your Closet into an Inviting Reading Nook

There’s something that is really appealing about having a special place to curl up with a good book.  How many times since your childhood have you dreamed about having a special place to hideaway with a good book?

Creating a special place just for reading in your home is a fantastic and tangible way to show your children how important books and reading are, and how much you value spending time with good books.

Ever thought of creating your own designated reading space in the house?

Now it is time to rethink the use of the space in your closet, by creating a small comfy reading corner.

You can transfer there some of the magazines and books you adore.

4. Redefine Your Kid’s Room with a Small Study Space

Closet With Teenager Desk For Studying #closet #homedecor #decorhomeideas

You can create a study space for your kid. There you can also store additional study books while still keeping them on display.

This is a neat and tidy setup, isn’t it? All of the former closet space has been utilized according to the needs of the owner.

You see, you can save a lot of space if you are thinking in terms of height of the walls and the function of your belongings.

5. Free up Closet Space for a Fabulous Washing Room

6. Turn Your Closet into a Wine Cellar

Ever thought of thinking of transforming the closet into a small winery? This is for the real fans of wine that see that necessity is no greater than adoration.

Nevertheless, it is no wonder that we also find two ovens in there, too. We all would like to have it the most optimized way possible.

7. Create a Cozy Nook using Your Closet

Use your closet for a sleeping nook #closet #homedecor #decorhomeideas

Move your bed into the closet. If you have to ditch the headboard, pick up some bed legs.

Number seven goes to show that the possibilities for former closet spaces are endless. If you are someone who has a special loving relationship with naptimes, you can always turn the closet into a relaxation corner.

All you need is a small mattress, a nice bedding, and you are good to go.

8. Repurpose a Corner Closet into a Functional Storage Space

There’s nothing better than feeling more organized.

So lovely! A personal corner to hold all our favorite belongings. Soft white and adorable blue shade that puts your mind at ease.

This is a well-kept spot in the house, as you can see. It is worth removing the junk from the closet to have something like this, I believe.

Interior designer Killy Scheer created a modern, out-of-the-way office that disappears when you want it to. Hang pretty curtains along the closet rod to cover up the space when you’re ready to relax.

In our day and age, many of us have way too many electronic devices all around the house. Some homes have a couple of laptops, computers and other devices.

This is a pretty awesome idea. You can always stash everything you need behind the curtains and leave more free space in the living room, for example.

10. Transform Your Closet into a Mini Bar

This is a great look for a more modern home.

4. Get the Luxurious Look of Mirrored Doors with No Frame

Modern Closet Door With Mirror #closet #mirror #door #decorhomeideas

Covering folding closet doors from top to bottom and side to side with full mirrors creates an interesting look.

These mirrors look great in spaces that are already a little lighter and less cluttered.

5. Create a Chic Closet Door Mirror with Rectangular Frames

Mirrored Closet Doors #closet #mirror #door #decorhomeideas

Breaking up large panels of mirrors into smaller rectangles instantly makes the mirrors look higher-end and more expensive.

This is a wonderful way to update this look and to ensure that it doesn’t look just the same as other mirrored closet doors.

The look can be achieved by using lots of smaller mirrors or framing a larger mirror with a custom-cut frame.

“Were you born in a barn?” somebody may ask you if you forget to close the door. That may not be the origin of the phrase, but it is still being used because barn doors are often left wide open.

Barn doors, though, do not necessarily go on the barn.

They are a type of door, usually made of wood or similar material, which would slide to the side to make it easier to store items.

Best Barn Door Closet Ideas #barndoor #closet #diy #decorhomeideas

Maybe you don’t have a barn, but still use a closet, which is as close as modern urban homes come to owning one.

After all, barns store stuff for a longer period, just as closets do. If you don’t have hay or animals whatsoever, a barn door can be still used to save space.

As they slide to the side, they have no actual span, so you don’t have to keep a clear perimeter around them.

Additionally, some find them great, because they bring a certain rugged aesthetic and country charm to the home and they are one of the best closet door alternatives if you don’t want a traditional closet door.

If you are a fan of farmhouse decoration, a barn door is a must!

But the addition of more curtains gives you an open license to experiment, either by matching the window curtains for a uniform stylish look, or going wild with an entirely new color, to splash energy into the room.

Here the owner went for a subtle tone to supplement the calming atmosphere of their bedroom.

3. Balance Style and Comfort with Your Curtain Closet Doors

One thing curtains are great at is creating texture.

Walls or the doors of a closet are smooth surfaces, which reflect light evenly across the room.

Curtains, however, can be gathered or hanging loosely, giving the sense of texture and detail, while still maintaining a tidy look.

4. Enhance Your Small Closet with a Curtain Door

Not only walk-in closets could use curtains instead of doors.

Smaller closets are fine too, as long as you need the variety: curtains are an extremely flexible accessory, which can vary in length, width, fabric, pattern and color.

You can even put a curtain inside the closet to hide just a specific section of the interior.

If you are a fan of sewing, you can go to great lengths with what your curtains look like, but even if you are not, there are plenty of options around.

Decide on a fancier and sophisticated, warm and comforting or plain and elegant look based on the way your room looks.

6. Keep it Private with Curtain Closet Doors

Closet doors usually hide the contents of the closet.

What if you want to show what is inside, though?

Bravely boast the cool pieces of furniture, the cool clothing or the awesome floor you have by leaving the curtains tied to the side as in this photo.

The added accessibility is an additional bonus. Want to hide something? Just close the curtains.

7. Access Your Closet’s Contents Easily with Sliding Curtain Doors

Lifting the curtain to the side looks cool, but it could let the curtain get in the way too much.

To turn the curtain door into a sliding door, you will need some clippers designed to attach the fabric to the rod.

They consist of huge rings, which go around the rod and clippers, which attach the curtain to the rings.

To get sliding curtains, just buy a big piece of cloth of your choosing and carefully cut it in two equal parts. They could fit perfectly with a farmhouse decoration.

8. A Touch of White to Brighten Up Your Room

In this picture the curtain is used to cover a storage unit, but it could be either a window, or a passageway.

What it does to the exterior is basically add some texture and coziness to an otherwise compact bedroom.

The white color lets the curtain have a strong presence and drastically changes the look of the place without drawing all the attention.

9. Upgrade Your Bedroom with Luxurious Curtains

Closet curtains are a nice match for a bedroom.

Soft, calming colors and a smooth relaxing surface will create a different atmosphere from the one of the sharp edges, hard wood and even reflective surfaces of an wooden or metal door.

What looks like a girl’s room can only benefit from this curtain taken straight out of a princess fairytale.

The pink color matches some  of the stuff, left around the place, but also serves as a great way to introduce color without buying furniture, which would seem out of place in a few years.

11. Enjoy the Convenience of Curtain Closet Doors

Curtains have several main advantages over actual doors.

One is that your home doesn’t look messy and unkept when you forget to close them.

While an open closet normally has the door standing as an obstacle, and keeping you from moving around the room, curtains are tightly kept aside and let you move freely.

12. Create a Sophisticated Look with Curtain Closet Doors

Bedrooms are a great environment for curtain closet doors.

In this picture the room is smart, elegant and sharp, that is why the curtain color is white: its owner doesn’t want unnecessary distractions.

However, the curtains add texture when dispensing light into the room, so that it doesn’t look too plain.

The owner of this closet found a smart way to keep the looks of the room simple and to make the interior stand out when needed.

The insides of furniture are an interesting place to try out patterns, shapes and colors and given the nice results, they will probably decide on occasionally leaving the closet curtains open for visitors to enjoy the interior.

14. Maximize Storage and Style with Curtain Closet Doors

This is something different from replacing closet doors with curtains, because it is not necessary to have a closet at all and you won’t need to remove any doors!

Divide the room in a way which works best for you by taking as much room for storage as you need.

You don’t need to do anything more difficult than installing a rod on the ceiling.

Especially practical if you house has no designated closets or they are too small.

15. Elevate Your Decor with a Patterned Curtain Door

Even if you like a uniform and tidy look for your house, curtains are a good solution to add some accent without hassle.

This homeowner decided to add a sense of dynamism and came up with this lively pattern to hang in the limited closet space.

16. Install Your Curtain Doors without a Hassle

To install your own curtain closet doors, you don’t only need drapes: the rod or railing holding them is just as important.

You have to install some brackets into the wall and then the rod.

The only tricky part here is in case you need to do some painting, like repaint the rod to make it match your interior (or the patterns on the curtain, as it does here).

In most cases you will also need clips to hang the curtain, and then come the actual drapes.

17. Customize Your Curtains to Get a Classic Charm

Once you pick the best cloth for the curtain, you have a few more decisions:

you can have it gathered (pick a bigger curtain than the door opening) or tight, you can have it folded at the top for a fancier look, or just keep it plain, and finally you can have it either in one or two pieces.

For the last one you only need to cut the curtain in two equal halves and distribute the clips evenly between them.

There is no catch and you get the luxurious look of old homes.

18. Add a Fresh Look to Your Curtain Closet Doors

Curtains can be used for closet doors in different occasions.

Here the added effect is the nice color which matches the bed cover and stands out from the plain white wall.

As you can see in the photos above, most people prefer to install the rod on the inside of the closet so that it remains hidden and doesn’t distract too much.

Those are 18 tidy curtain closet door ideas we found nice and interesting to try out.

Replacing closet doors with curtains is a very easy and quick way to change things around your home.

It doesn’t take much effort and there are not too many crucial designer choices, but the options are still plenty and depend on how you imagine your dream room.

There is a solution for everybody: from luxurious heavy curtains which stand out to simple and tidy drapes to match the rest of the interior.

And, even if you change your mind, it is just so easy to switch between the two types.

Curtain closet doors add color, texture and life to any room, give extra accessibility and the option to keep them closed or open depending on what you want to show at any moment.

Give them a try if you want to impress your friends with something new and unique, and if you think your house or apartment interior can use some change.
