If you’ve spent any time touring new homes or browsing Pinterest lately, you likely noticed many new builds feature creative sliding barn doors to separate rooms, closets, pantries and other spaces. Rolling doors are easy to use and often are incorporated in areas of the home that require flexibility for privacy. With the popularity of open-concept floor plans, these large-scale doors not only bring rustic charm to modern homes, they also provide the coverage needed to accommodate oversized doorframes.
If you’re planning to build, talk with our expert designers about adding a sliding barn door to your interior plans. Our staff has plenty of experience designing and installing barn doors to best complement the style and flow of your new home.
We can even create a custom door—including creative and functional accents such as a chalkboard, mirror, windows, bookshelves—in our onsite millwork shop.
Barn doors are a cost-effective option as well. Though you can invest in creating a new custom barn door, there’s always an option to use reclaimed wood or another unconventional material that may otherwise be relegated to the recycling bin.
Vintage-inspired design isn’t just for new homes. Adding a sliding barn door to your current home is easier than you think!
