Interior Design with Barn Doors

A recent trend in interior design and remodeling is using barn style doors inside a home. Both decorative and functional, barn doors are becoming the next big thing when people are renovating their home. Usually, the barn doors are used as sliding doors, but they can be used in a variety of capacities.

Many homeowners like the rustic look of a barn door. For example, we recently installed a sliding barn door for a residential remodel job we did for one of our clients. The barn door was installed in lieu of a traditional door for the client’s laundry room. It is an eye-catching and fun design element. Laundry rooms are not the most exciting part of the house, so adding a sliding barn door makes this area a little more pleasant. Not only does it enhance the look, but it also is practical. The client got looks and functionality in one.

Barn doors can be found in many places. You can salvage one from an actual barn and refurbish it, or you can simply buy a new kit from a retailer. (The kits are much easier to install.) Barn doors come in a huge variety of styles and colors, so you can be sure to find one that will match your home’s décor. In addition, barn doors are a way to bring the outdoors in.

Barn doors also work well in many styles of homes. You can find them in contemporary homes where the homeowners want to add additional textures or colors. They also work well in traditional houses. Barn doors are quite simple in design but they can make a great conversation piece. Visitors to your home will love the unique look that a sliding barn door brings.
