The bedroom is 8x11. Along one 11foot wall is the 30" entrance and a
30" closet door. The closet door is centered on a closet that is
about 7 ft wide and 3ft deep.

If you have enough overhead space (not specified) you could
instal a vertical sliding door (adapted from a roll-top desk)
i.e. make it an ornamental feature of the room.
