More than a few homeowners miss out on the benefits of barn doors because of the perception that they only work on rustic home designs. Barn doors can be a space divider, a space-saving alternative to interior doors or a great visual element. In this blog, discount shutters manufacturer, Wholesale Shutter Company. shares tips on how you can make barn doors work in your modern home.
Frosted Glass Barn Doors
Barn doors can be made from materials other than wood. In this case, barn doors made of frosted glass add privacy but do not make the space look smaller or block out lighting. These features make it ideal for areas close to windows as you can fully take advantage of natural light. Various materials like dark glass can also be used.
Hidden Home Entertainment System
Barn doors can be used to conceal your home entertainment system or shelving. In addition to creating a clean look when not in use, it also protects your books or electronics from dust. If the display area is flanked by windows, the barn doors act as alternatives to wood shutters and reduce glare.
Mirror Barn Doors
Whether used as an actual door or simply as a moveable hanging mirror, mirror barn doors are great for small bedrooms. They reflect light, they make the room look bigger, and they create an interesting tactile element to the room. A single-sash mirror barn door can be used as the door to a walk-in or recessed closet.
Chalkboard Barn Door
Barn doors can be installed as a space-saving door for a walk-in pantry. Increase its utility by painting the kitchen-facing surface with chalkboard paint. Use it for writing out reminders or recipes, or as an old-school communications center.
Classic Barn Door
A classic wood barn door works just as well in modern interior design. Visually, it adds an organic element to an otherwise minimalist look. This works best on entryways flanked by blank white or concrete walls.
