The Flexibility Of Rice Paper Closet Doors

Rice paper is made from rice plant parts such as rice flour or rice straw. For centuries, Japanese and Chinese have been using rice paper for their artwork and writing. The material is popular among crafters because of its slight transparent appearance and distinct texture.

Rice paper is also a popular material for many Japanese-inspired closet doors. Rice paper closet doors are tough, lightweight and allow diffused light into the area. They come in many styles such as bifold, sliding and bypass, making them ideal replacement for your laundry, pantry and bedroom doors.
