How to incorporate Barn Doors into your interior design

 

Doors were once simply a utilitarian object in your home that allowed for security or privacy. That’s not the case any longer. As home owners expect every element of their home to match their design, the decor options have increased, including for doors. You can buy doors in a variety of materials and styles, all of which can complement your home's decor and ambiance.

One of the most popular styles is a barn door. The barn door is a door that slides on a rail system. It may not lock, but it can close completely for privacy. Barn doors have become popular recently in both traditional and contemporary homes. The sliding door adds texture, functionality, and charm to any home. 

Although barn doors were originally placed in more rustic homes, the design works in all types of homes due to the wide array of materials used in the construction.

 Barn doors can be made of a variety of materials, including wood, reclaimed wood, MDF, and glass. Wood is the most popular but painted and glass is a great option for more contemporary homes. They can be added to any room in your house as long as there is room to slide the door open.
