My master has a full wall of recessed closet with shelving and rods with no door. I think it makes the room look bigger and avoids the hassle of sliding a door open and close.
The house came that way and now I like it. There are tracks for a sliding door, but I won’t ever add one.
In my rental condo, I replaced a sliding door with a mirror sliding door and like it a lot.
I also put in a long shelf one foot below the ceiling. My old dorm had this and I loved how it let the room be cleaned easily by moving clutter overhead, and taking up no floor space.
