Benefits of a Barn Door

For starters, while standard doors need a wide area to open and close, barn doors only require adequate wall space, meaning you can make maximum use of your square footage for furniture and decor. 

On the other end of the spectrum, if your home has a more open, modern layout, adding a primed barn door can be the perfect solution for creating more intimate spaces.

The blended dining room and kitchen is nice, but sometimes you want to be able to hide away the mess you made in the kitchen. Installing barn doors can give you the option of privacy, while still providing easy access to the kitchen while you host a dinner party!

Not only do barn doors save space while making your home feel cozy, they are also an easy to install, lightweight product.

Pocket doors are the bane of contractor’s existence- they require a huge opening covered in drywall with NO studs. This makes for a flimsy wall. As if that weren’t inconvenient enough, pocket doors are always falling off their tracks, making them inconvenient for homeowners too. 

A barn door is an excellent alternative, for both contractors and homeowners alike! Because a barn door can be installed on the outside of an existing wall, homeowners can install a sliding barn door on their own! Where pocket doors were the solution to small spaces, barn doors now reign. 

Because the door is installed on a track, the person opening the door doesn’t strain under the weight of the door. This makes the barn door an excellent option for people of all ages and physical conditions.

Plus, they don’t have the awkward and often dysfunctional locking mechanisms that pocket doors are notorious for. 

Obviously a barn door does a great job at being a door. It is also a design feature that adds instant appeal to any space, it is a focal point in any room.

What could otherwise be a basic, even boring, element becomes charming and interesting with a barn door. What’s not to love?
