Sliding barn doors have made a big comeback in Philadelphia interior fashion. In fact, barn doors are been one of the biggest home decor trends of 2018. Perhaps the reason barn doors have made such a big splash is due to their versatility – they can go almost anywhere in your space!
We’ve gathered a few of our favorite places to use sliding barn doors in Philadelphia homes.
Sliding Barn Doors in Master Bathrooms
Using a sliding barn door as the entryway between the master bedroom and bathroom is a fantastic way. Not only does it make the bathroom feel much more stylish, but it lets you use space in ways that other doors don’t. When you open most bathroom doors, it takes up space in either the bathroom or the bedroom that leads to it – barn doors slide directly next to the wall to give you plenty of space.
Sliding Barn Doors as Closet Doors
Just like the bathroom, sliding barn doors give you tons of extra space when used as a closet door. That makes them a wonderful choice for a hall closet or foyer closet. Plus, general use closets are the perfect place for sliding barn doors, since they’re typically out in the open so you can show off its unique style.
Sliding Barn Doors as Room Dividers
Who says barn doors always have to go where doors go? Big sliding barn doors can help separate a room into smaller sections if you want to create a little more personal feeling in your Philadelphia home.
Barn Doors as a Modern Door Replacement
In Philadelphia condos or apartments, sliding barn doors are showing up more as these spaces catch up to modern interior design. With a sliding barn door instead of a traditional door separating rooms, 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 just call these kind of barn doors “barn door shutters,” though they don’t have much in common with most plantation shutters. What they do share with interior window shutters are an enduring style, and the ability to block a lot of light to make your home cool and comfy.
Sliding Barn Doors Framing an Entertainment Center
This is one of the more unique uses we’ve seen for barn doors. Barn doors can work as both a frame and cover to a wall-mounted flat screen tv or entertainment center. This lets you not only create a frame for your TV (just like a letterbox feature), but you can also hide the monitor when it’s not in use to give your space a bit more rustic charm.
Home Office Sliding Barn Doors
Sliding barn doors are a distinct blend of fun design, stylish looks, and practicality, so they’re right at home in a Philadelphia home office. Sunburst even offers sliding barn doors with built-in mirrors, or with whiteboards for writing notes or planning.
Don’t forget, just because that’s where you work doesn’t mean your home office has to be plain.
Barn Doors in Philadelphia Commercial Spaces
Ok, so this isn’t a home, but it’s worth mentioning how wonderfully barn doors work in commercial spaces. Separating parts of an office or restaurant, or as a wall between a waiting room and conference rooms – sliding barn doors exemplify the rustic chic trend that’s booming in commercial spaces.
