Now Trending - Sliding Barn Doors

Thinking of building a new house or remodeling your current home? Why not consider saving space and adding style by using a sliding barn door in place of a traditional door? A sliding door provides a great way to both separate and connect two rooms and we are getting a lot of requests for this in our new homes!

Here are a 3 ways to add style with a sliding door:

Add a Pop of Color.  Rather than painting an entire wall in an accent color, utilize the sliding door to add a pop of color and provide a great accent to blend two spaces together.  The hardware you select can also help create a dramatic effect and serve as an additional accent color.


Time to Reflect.  Use one side of the door as a mirrored surface. Mirrors are a great way to make a space feel larger and add more light to your space.

Add Windows, but Keep Privacy with Frosted Glass.  This is especially great if the rooms you are connecting with a sliding door don't have equal light sources. Let the light shine through the doors from one room to the next.
