What would you do - an interior design question...

So, we have a living room with two alcoves around the fireplace. In the far one, the bigger one, we plan to have fitted, floor to ceiling cupboards with double doors that open from the middle.

However, the arc of the right door means that when open, it will hit the 115cm yellow Danish table/desk we have against the window (currently placed centrally under window).

Would you:

  1. Consider having sliding doors? Even though you lose about 50cm depth
  1. Alter the size of window - make it smaller - so that the desk can still lie centrally -
  1. Or accept the table will be positioned more to the right, and balance it out with more going on at end against the wall.

I can't believe this is causing me such strife! Thanks all

Personally I would keep the door as it lets more light in and those back rooms are dark anyway.

We have a large wide closet at work that has a regular door on one side, and the other is a bi-fold. It works really well, and looks perfectly normal when closed.

Dh suggests a doublehinge door, sometimes seen on kitchen units?
