Sliding Barn Door with Frosted Glass

Incorporating a sliding barn door into your design is the newest design craze.  Provided you have enough wall adjacent to the opening, a sliding barn door can be used as a space saver to close off a living space. Whether it be an office, bathroom, closet or bedroom, the barn door can create as real design focal point.  Whether you are looking to create a charming farmhouse vibe or a clean contemporary feel there is an option to slide into your design style.  This article from houzz.com provides some great examples of how you can jump on the sliding barn door band wagon.

  • Sliding barn doors can be installed with no demolition (vs. a sliding pocket door)
  • They can be painted or stained to blend into the décor or can be painted an accent color or bold color to create a focal point.
  • Glass can be installed in the barn door to allow for natural light to enter into a room.
  • A large sliding door can be used to create a room divider.
  • Installing in a kids area?  Use the door to display their art projects.
  • Use in place of the traditional French doors, which generally require significantly more space.
  • Install to close off a closet in a very fashionable way.
  • Provide a great look in the bathroom when installed in a shower enclosure.
