End of the hallway?

Hi all, we need your help - badly. We are trying to figure out whether it makes sense to try and include storage at the end of a rather long hallway (on both sides in red) and it is bothering us... Firstly, with the storage on the left we are told by our designer that it will have to be this size at least if you want it as a walk in which is fine up until the point where it is stealing a bit of room from the kid's rooms. Not much mind you, but we would like to try and avoid. At the same time, it bothers us that the doors may look "off" at the end of a long hallway like this (on either side). Hallway width (and original closet width) is currently 1.2m As you can see, we don't have that much storage space overall and wanted to see what could be done to make the best use of the space. As we are still in the design phase I guess there is even a case to be made whereby we axe the storage on the left and use that space to make the kid's rooms bigger (future proofing for potentially more kids to share) or make the house footprint smaller (saving $$). What do you guys think? Should we have an end of hall closet at all? Both sides? One side? What type of doors would you use? How do you make it look "nice" if it exists so that it will appeal not only to our family - but all potential future owners? Please note, we do have other "storage space" in an attic (for longer term stuff). These closets if we put them in would be used for towels, linen, misc stuff. This is a home with currently 2 adults and 4 kids, so big enough as-is. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance!
