3 Things To Think About When Picking Sliding Barn Doors For Your Phoenix Home
Maybe you recently moved into a new home in Phoenix. Or maybe you‘re just interested in redecorating a room. Either way, sliding barn doors are a beautiful element to add. But what are some design tips to get started? And how do you select a sliding barn door that matches your taste?
Here are 3 things to keep in mind when choosing barn doors.
1. Barn Doors Can Fit Almost Any Room
The Bathroom. Sliding barn doors as bathroom doors can provide privacy with the right hardware. And barn doors are easy to slide. That comes in handy, especially if you have toddlers undergoing potty training. Because of how the track is installed, your barn door slides closed, but might not create a tight seal over the opening.
The Living Room. Sliding barn doors are a great solution when you want to separate the living room from the adjacent hallway or the dining room. Picking a barn door style that complements your living room furniture is key.
The Bedroom. Look for sliding barn doors that provide a sense of calm to the room as well as privacy. Wooden barn doors block most of the light from the windows - and from other rooms. And the bedroom feels cozier with the addition of a wooden design element.
The Pantry. Sliding barn doors are a perfect solution for pantry doors, especially since the pantry is usually facing the kitchen or a dining table. Glide them closed to hide the disorganized snacks shelf. And slide them open to grab your KitchenAid stand mixer.
