8 Innovative Uses for Sliding Barn Doors in Bakersfield Homes

August 13, 2018

Sliding barn doors are making a huge resurgence in Bakersfield interior fashion. In fact, sliding barn doors have been one of the biggest home fashion trends of the year. Perhaps barn doors are making a comeback because of their versatility – they can go nearly anywhere in your house!

We’ve gathered some of our favorite spots to use sliding barn doors in Bakersfield homes.

Sliding Barn Doors in Master Bathrooms

Utilizing a sliding barn door as the entryway between the master bedroom and bathroom is one of the best ways to use them. Not only does it make your bathroom feel wholly unique, but it lets you use space like other doors can’t. When you open a standard door, it takes up space in either the bathroom or the bedroom – sliding barn doors slide directly next to the wall and give you plenty of space.

Sliding Barn Doors as Closet Doors

Similar to bathroom doors, sliding barn doors offer plenty of extra space when used as a closet door. That makes them a perfect choice for a closet in the hall or foyer. In addition, these closets are the perfect spot for sliding barn doors, because they’re usually in rooms where you’ll have guests to let you show it off.

Sliding Barn Doors as Room Dividers

No one said barn doors have to go where doors go. Big sliding barn doors can help divide a room into smaller sections to create a little more personal mood in your Bakersfield home.

Sliding Barn Doors as a Modern Door Replacement

In Bakersfield condos or apartments, barn doors are being used more as these kinds of housing catch up to modern home design. With a sliding barn door in your space, your space will feel less confined and segmented. In their own way, barn doors give you the best of both worlds of a house and an apartment.

Sliding Barn Doors as a Window Treatment

We usually call these “barn door shutters,” even if they don’t have much in common with traditional plantation shutters. What they do share with interior window shutters are a lasting look and style, and they block a great deal of light to keep your interior cool and inviting.

Barn Doors Framing an Entertainment Center

This is one of the more unique ways we’ve seen barn doors used. Barn doors can work as a frame and a cover for a plasma screen on your wall. So you’re able to not only create a frame for the TV (almost like a letterbox feature), but you can also hide the TV when it’s not in use to make your space a little more rustic.

Home Office Sliding Barn Doors

Sliding barn doors are a distinctive blend of fun design, stylish looks, and usability, so they’re right at home in a Bakersfield home office. Sunburst even offers barn doors with built-in mirrors, or with dry-erase boards for jotting down notes or planning.

Don’t forget, just because you work there doesn’t mean your home office has to be boring.

Barn Doors in Bakersfield Commercial Spaces

All right, so this isn’t a home, but it’s on this list because barn doors are fantastic in commercial spaces. Dividing off parts of an office or cafe, or as a wall between a lobby and conference rooms – sliding barn doors embrace the rustic chic trend that’s emerged in commercial spaces.
