Anyone with curtains for nursery closet doors??

We just had our nursery furniture room delivered and it's a lot darker than the trim/doors as anticipated. The idea of curtains as closet doors is an option to lessen the contrast a little. Anyone have any pics they care to share so I can see what it would look like??

    I don't have any pics, but my college roommate used curtains to cover her closet. I always thought that it looked really good, but it wasn't actually curtains because she sewed them herself.

    I think it's a good idea in theory, but once your LO is on the move it might prove to be more of a pain than it is worth. Can you brighten up the room with paint or pops of color in accessories instead?

    would you be adding doors before your LO becomes mobile?  If not.. I see a disaster waiting to happen.

    Really?? I read somewhere on here that she wanted curtains bc her kid kept pinching his fingers. I don't know. It's not set it stone. I may be ok with the clashing wood colors once the nursery gets painted!! Thanks :-)

    The door to DD's closet is higher than a normal door handle.  You can also add a latch to keep nosey fingers from turning the door knob.

    Nice idea, but I would be worried the curtains could pose a strangulation hazard.  Not sure what the recommendations are for toddlers/infants and curtains.

    We've had curtains as dd2's closet doors since before she was born. It's worked wonderfully. She doesn't mess with them and I like how it looks. And believe me she's an active, into everything 19 month old now.

    We did Ikea curtain like closet doors in my daughter's room.  I personally don't like bi-fold doors that her fingers can get stuck in.  And no, she's not in to everything.
