3 Things To Think About When Picking Sliding Barn Doors For Your Bakersfield Home
Maybe you want to redecorate just one room in your Bakersfield house. Or maybe you recently moved into your home. Either way, sliding barn doors are a beautiful option. But what are some design tips to get started? And how do you choose a sliding barn door that complements your taste?
Here are 3 things to keep in mind when selecting barn doors.
1. Barn Doors Can Fit Almost Any Room
The Bathroom. The right hardware on sliding barn doors ensures that you get the privacy you need in the bathroom. 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 for separating the living room from the adjacent hallway or the dining room. Selecting a barn door style that goes with your living room furniture is key.
The Bedroom. Look for sliding barn doors that add 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 just by adding this wooden design element.
The Pantry. Sliding barn doors are a great substitute for pantry doors. That’s especially the case when the pantry faces the kitchen or a dining table. Roll them open to get to your Cuisinart mixer. And roll them closed to hide the disorganized shelf of snacks.
2. New Ways To Use Barn Doors
Traditionally, sliding barn doors have been installed over a doorway. In rooms where it’s easier to slide a door across the wall than swing it out, barn doors are a space saver. And with the sliding barn door being the attention grabber when you enter and exit the room, it’s essential that you choose one that complements the the room’s furniture.
You can also have sliding barn doors mounted to cover a window. And we will build the barn door panels to the window and the frame’s size. 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!
Cover up a wall-mounted flat screen TV with sliding barn doors so you’re not staring at the black void when it’s off. Our team custom fit the barn door panels to the TV’s size. And the tracks are carefully mounted to accommodate for the depth of the wall-mounted screen.
