Is it a design faux pas to put up really nice interior doors (with tempered\ glass), and not do the same for closet doors? Or do they have to match? See images below for the difference between the two.
I would say that having glass on the main doors and solid closets would work great, as long as otherwise the styles were similar. Most people probably would not want to see in their closets anyway.
When you say tempered glass, do you mean frosted so you can't see through it as well? Tempering is actually a process that makes any glass stronger and cause it to break into tiny pieces rather than big shards and is required by code in any active leaf or within 12" of an active leaf and could and usually is just clear.

I think they're technically not frosted glass. It's called something else because you can still see through frosted glass to a large degree. An expert at Lowes mentioned this to me this weekend. I forget what it's called. Milky glass or something...

I just saw these in a house that was done over by the new homeowners - with their decor it looked great!
Agree with a previous poster, wood/grain/stain of closet doors should match though.

Yeah, there are dozens of ways to make glass that gives light but still has privacy with varying degrees of see-through and various manufacturers all give them different names. I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to get surprised by a bunch of clear glass doors showing up. Sounds like you're all good though.
