3 Ways to Incorporate Sliding Barn Doors in Your Home

1. To Separate Spaces in an Open Concept Home
   • Many homes today have opted to knock down walls and create an open-concept living area. And, while an open concept makes a home feel more spacious, there are times when you might want to separate spaces. Sliding doors are a great way to keep your open space but have the option to separate spaces like a game room, office, dining room, and more. Barn doors separate spaces easily but can discreetly pocket away against a wall when not in use. And, no matter how you are using them, they look great!
2. As a Pantry Door
   • Sliding barn doors are the perfect pantry door. When you need something from your pantry, you want easy and quick access and barn doors provide exactly that. Pantries are often in tighter spaces where a swinging door could be a problem but a barn door will save space. And, as an added bonus, a barn door adds aesthetic appeal to your kitchen.
3. As a Closet Door in Small Spaces
   • Sliding barn doors make an excellent closet door option, particularly in small spaces. If you have a small bedroom with a closet, it can be challenging to figure out how to fit all of the furniture without blocking access to the closet. Barn doors look beautiful and make it easy to close and open a closet door without entering valuable square footage in a small bedroom like a swinging door would.
