3 Things To Think About When Picking Sliding Barn Doors For Your San Diego House
Maybe you recently moved into a new home in San Diego. Or maybe you‘re just interested in redecorating a room. Either way, sliding barn doors are a charming element to add. But how do you select a sliding barn door that matches your taste? And what tips should you follow?
Here are 3 things to 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 a great solution for separating the living room from the adjacent hallway or the dining room. You’ll want to choose a barn door style that goes with your living room furniture.
The Bedroom. Look for sliding barn doors that provide privacy as well as a calming feel to the room. A wooden barn door blocks most of the light from other rooms - and from the windows. And the wood itself naturally adds coziness and warmth to the bedroom.
The Pantry. Sliding barn doors are a perfect solution for pantry doors. That’s especially true when the pantry is facing the kitchen or a dining table. Slide them open to grab your KitchenAid mixer. And slide them closed to hide the disorganized shelf of snacks.
