Sliding Barn Doors

Sliding barn doors have come a long way from the traditional rustic farmhouse look. While this style still holds timeless appeal for some, more people are enjoying the versatility of barn doors to add an exciting and unique aesthetic to their
homes.

Whether you favor simple elegance or a high level of ornamentation, there is a barn door style for you. Check out these fun and stylish ideas to spark your own imagination!

Add a fun twist to providing privacy

Most barn doors are used to replace a traditional swing-out door. Sliding doors take up less floor space. They also have endless options for colors and designs.

Conceal your appliances

Barn doors are a wonderful way to cleverly conceal a kitchen appliance or upgrade your cabinets with the help of Cabinet Cures. Install just one or several so you can cover up your dishwasher or garbage can for a clean and streamlined look.

Upgrade your pantry or closet

Add a sliding door to your pantry so you can leave it open safely while you're cooking. Or, try the look in your bedroom by using a barn door to cover your closet. Make it even more convenient by choosing a door with a built-in mirror.

Create a perfect hideaway

If you are up for a more involved home remodeling project, try using a barn door to create a cozy reading nook or another hideaway in your home. It can be your very own secret spot to retreat to when you need some peace and quiet.

Separate your space

Another fantastic way to incorporate the barn door look into your home is by adding a strategically placed room divider. This will separate your space into different areas and give you a simple way to either close the doors for privacy or open them up to create a more spacious feeling.

Hide your TV

Tired of having a blank TV screen taking up your wall space when it's not in use? Hide it by sliding a conveniently placed barn door closed.

Make side tables more interesting

If you love the look of barn doors but want to start out small, consider using them in place of a traditional door in the front of your side tables or buffet. You can keep it simple with gorgeous finished wood, or choose a more intricate look with a cutout metal design.

Opt for multipurpose style

Do you have cluttered bookshelves or closets on either side of a doorway? Install dual sliding barn doors that provide two functions. Close the doors to create private rooms, or leave them open and cover the area to each side.

Barn doors are a fantastic way to add charm with an attention-grabbing aesthetic that is all the rage. Put your own spin on this growing trend by getting creative with paint colors and the material for your door.
