3 Things To Think About When Picking Sliding Barn Doors For Your Indianapolis House
Whether you just moved into your new home in the Indianapolis area or looking to redecorate a room, sliding barn doors are an elegant option. But where should get started? And how do you pick a sliding barn door that goes with your style?
Here are 3 things you should consider when picking 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 they’re easy to slide, especially for little ones who are learning to use the bathroom. Keep in mind that the barn door may not create the tightest seal to the opening due to how the track is installed.
The Living Room. Sliding barn doors are great when you want to separate the living room from the adjacent hallway or the dining room. Selecting a barn door style that matches your living room décor is key.
The Bedroom. Look for sliding barn doors that bring a sense of calm to the room as well as privacy. Wooden barn doors block most of the light from other rooms - and from the windows. And the wood itself innately adds warmth and coziness to the bedroom.
The Pantry. Sliding barn doors are a perfect solution for pantry doors. That’s especially the case when the pantry is facing a dining table or the kitchen. Glide them closed to hide the disorganized snacks shelf. And slide them open to get to your Bosch stand mixer.
2. New Uses for Barn Doors
Traditionally, sliding barn doors have been installed over a doorway. Barn doors save space in rooms where swinging a door outwardly is limiting. And since the sliding barn door is going to be the focus when you enter and exit the room, you’ll want to select one that complements the furniture in the room.
You can also use sliding barn doors as a window covering. And we will build the barn door panels to the size of the window and its frame. Homeowners like to take advantage of the fact that you can match the style of the barn door window treatment to that of the existing sliding barn door in the room!
Install sliding barn doors over a wall-mounted flat screen TV to cover up the black void when it’s off. We custom build the barn door panels to the dimensions of the TV. In addition, the tracks are meticulously mounted so as to accommodate for the screen’s depth.
