Are Sliding Doors Really More Space-Efficient Than Hinged Doors?

Hi everyone,

I’m redesigning a small apartment and trying to maximize usable space. I’ve been considering different door options for closets and rooms. Some sources suggest that sliding doors might save space compared to traditional hinged ones, but I’m unsure about the practical implications.

In particular, I’m curious whether sliding doors provide space savings over hinged ones in real-life scenarios, especially in tight hallways or compact bedrooms. Has anyone here switched from hinged to sliding doors? Did it make a noticeable difference in room layout and furniture placement?

Any tips or experiences would be appreciated!
