The open floor concept is big in home design. When you tear down walls, creating one open space your home becomes more inviting. There are no secrets in an open space home. However, despite being an open book, you still want to create little sanctuaries for a bit of privacy. Using sliding barn doors is the new trend in designing an open space home, with the ability to seek privacy.
Barn doors in the home
Sliding barn doors are a perfect way to create separate spaces when you want a little privacy, but when you want to open your doors and your home, you can slide the barn doors to the side. There is also a multitude of ways that you can section off your home using barn doors. You can turn your home into a sliding puzzle, creating many different ways to find some privacy and solitude when you need it, without taking away the open home concept.
Barn doors for bedrooms and bathrooms
The two places where you would want a bit of privacy is your bedroom and the bathroom. Old barn doors are becoming a popular choice to replace a classic door. When the barn door is open, it becomes a piece of art on the wall, and when it is closed, it becomes functional art, allowing for a bit of privacy, but still looking beautiful. The same is true for the bathroom. Of course, you want to be strategic and not use barn doors for every bathroom, or every bedroom.
Create Sections
You can also use sliding barn doors to be able to close off a section of your home. Sometimes an open space is great, but if someone is having a quiet conversation in the kitchen and the kids are blasting Paw Patrol in the TV area, don’t you want to be able to slide that barn door closed so that everyone can do their own thing in peace. Once you all come together again, you can slide the doors open.
