Barn Doors FAQs

What are barn doors and how are they different from traditional doors? 

Barn doors are sliding doors that are often mounted on a track and slide horizontally to open and close. Unlike traditional swinging doors, barn doors don't require extra clearance for opening and can be a space-saving solution. They also add a rustic and unique design element to your space. To enhance the visual impact of barn doors, consider opting for barn style hardware that is mounted externally on the wall. This placement not only allows the door ironmongery to be prominently visible but also turns it into a statement or feature within the room. This juxtaposition of functional hardware as an aesthetic element adds an intriguing touch to your interior design.

What types of spaces are barn doors suitable for? 

Barn doors are versatile and can be used in various spaces including bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens, offices, and even as closet doors. They can serve as room dividers, providing both functional separation and aesthetic appeal.

Can barn doors be used in modern interior designs or are they more suited for traditional styles? 

Our diverse door collection, coupled with an array of sliding hardware options, caters to a wide range of interior design preferences. With various styles and finishes to choose from, our offerings seamlessly integrate with different decor themes, ensuring that our barn doors become an essential element of your interior design vision.

For those leaning towards a rustic ambiance, picture an oak-finished door paired with sleek black sliding hardware. This combination exudes warmth and nostalgia, reminiscent of traditional barn aesthetics. The earthy tones of the oak door infuse the space with a cosy atmosphere, while the black sliding hardware provides a contrasting modern touch. This fusion of old and new creates an inviting environment that beautifully bridges the gap between classic and contemporary design.

On the other hand, if a more contemporary and minimalist look is your goal, consider a grooved white door adorned with elegant brass sliding hardware. The clean lines of the white door coupled with the lustrous brass hardware radiate sophistication. This pairing effortlessly complements modern interiors, providing a crisp and airy feel to the space. The grooved texture adds subtle visual interest, while the brass hardware adds a touch of opulence, resulting in a harmonious blend of style and function.

Barn doors hold the unique ability to adapt to various interior design styles, transcending the boundaries of tradition and innovation. Whether you're aiming for a rustic, industrial, farmhouse, or even a Scandinavian vibe, our extensive selection of door styles and finishes, combined with our versatile sliding hardware options, ensures that your design aspirations are not only met but exceeded. These doors become more than just functional elements; they become transformative pieces that infuse character and charm into your living spaces, creating an interior that truly speaks to your individual style.

How do I install barn doors? 

Installing barn doors typically involves mounting a track onto the wall above the doorway and attaching the door to the track using rollers. While DIY installation is possible, it's recommended to seek professional help for a secure and smooth installation.

What hardware and accessories are needed for barn doors? 

In order to achieve the charming barn door aesthetic, you'll need to affix these doors onto tracks and rollers. We offer distinct sliding barn door kits in standard door sizes and rolling door hardware, which gives you the freedom to customise the rail length and select door straps that impeccably complement your interior design.

 

What are the advantages of using barn doors in interior design?

Barn doors offer several advantages in interior design. They are a unique and stylish addition that can instantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space. Barn doors save space compared to traditional swinging doors since they don't require room for door clearance. They can be customised in terms of size, finish, and design to match the overall decor. Additionally, barn doors are functional and versatile, serving as decorative accents, room dividers, or even focal points in a room.

Are barn doors a good option for small spaces with limited room for traditional swinging doors?

Absolutely. Barn doors are an excellent solution for small spaces. Traditional swinging doors can take up valuable floor and wall space, making rooms feel more confined. Barn doors slide along a track, eliminating the need for clearance space, thus optimising the available area. This makes barn doors a smart choice for maximising space efficiency in small rooms or tight areas.

Can barn doors be used as room dividers?

Yes, barn doors, especially in the form of double doors, offer a remarkable solution for seamlessly connecting and dividing spaces. The beauty of these doors lies not only in their aesthetic appeal but also in their functional versatility, making them an exceptional addition to any interior design endeavour.

In the context of room division, barn doors excel in their ability to create a harmonious connection between two rooms, while still allowing for the option of maintaining separate spaces when desired. This dynamic is particularly advantageous in open floor plans where the concept of distinct rooms might be blurred, yet the need for separate functional areas remains.

Imagine a pair of elegantly designed barn doors serving as room dividers between a living area and a dining space. During casual gatherings or when you want an open, cohesive feel, these doors can be effortlessly slid open. This creates a fluid transition between the two areas, encouraging interaction and connectivity. Natural light flows unobstructedly, enhancing the overall sense of spaciousness.

However, there are instances when the need for privacy or separate atmospheres arises, such as during formal dinners or when hosting different activities simultaneously. This is where the versatility of barn doors truly shines. With a simple slide, the doors can be closed, effectively transforming a single expansive room into two distinct and private spaces. This adaptability enables you to maintain the best of both worlds – an open layout when desired and separate rooms for more intimate or focused settings.

Moreover, barn doors can be leveraged to control the flow of light. When closed, they can either filter or block light, allowing you to create ambiance and control the mood within each area. The ability to choose when and how to use these doors to modulate space, light, and atmosphere provides you with an incredible level of customisation in shaping your living environment.

Incorporating barn doors as room dividers thus goes beyond their visual appeal; it enhances the functionality of your space and adds a layer of convenience that aligns with modern living. These doors empower you to adapt your home to different occasions and preferences seamlessly. In the realm of interior design, barn doors represent a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality, ultimately enriching the way you interact with and experience your living spaces.

What's the difference between single barn door and double barn door designs?

The primary difference between single barn door and double barn door designs lies in their configuration. A single barn door is a single panel that slides to one side to open, while a double barn door setup consists of two panels that slide apart from each other, creating a wider opening. Double barn doors can be a grand focal point, offering a larger entryway when fully opened, whereas single barn doors are space-efficient and often preferred for smaller openings.

Are barn doors suitable for both residential and commercial spaces?

Yes, barn doors are versatile and suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. In homes, they add a touch of rustic elegance or modern flair, depending on the design. In commercial settings, barn doors can create visual interest in offices, restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces. They can serve as functional doors, partitions, or decorative features, adding a unique character to the environment.

Can I use barn doors for my closets and pantry?

Absolutely. Barn doors are a great choice for closets and pantries. They provide easy access while adding a stylish element to these functional spaces. Depending on your preference, you can opt for single or double barn doors to suit the size of the opening. With various designs and finishes available, barn doors can enhance the aesthetics of your closets and pantry areas.
