What do I do with an ugly util closet?

By clutch

I have an 81 x 81 utility closet opening that I need to do something with. I had some ugly folding doors but because of a broken washing machine I had to cut out part of the wall. Lucky me. And also because of a backed up sewer I had to rip up new carpeting. Ewwwww

What can I do with this now? I don't want more of the folding doors. But I need to keep it ventilated because the furnace and water heater is back there also. This is a hallway so there's really no style here. the other side of this hallway has a birch IKEA cabinet. One thing I want to do is get that stone like vinyl tile and lay that down. But I'm not sure how to butt that up to carpeted stairs and a room. Anybody else have any ideas?

Thats something I think, I could do. I never thought about sliding doors. thanks a lot. I'll be keeping HomeDepot profitable this month.

Maybe something like this would be a fun solution:

These doors would be on two tracks and would slide. The holes would not only add cosmetic appeal, but would also serve as a ventilating system for your heat and washing machine.

If you are a savvy DIY'er, you could probably create this on your own. Although the whole track system could be tricky.

Either way, good luck and hope you find the perfect solution!
