Barn Doors Go Indoors: An Ideal Winter Project
(BPT) - Known for their versatility, barn
doors have been popping up in homes across
the country - in contemporary and rustic designs.
Read on to discover why adding a barn
door is an ideal winter home-improvement
project.
Transitions in Open Floor Plans
As homeowners seek more open floor plans,
interior doors are evolving. Barn doors meet
homeowners’ desire for fluid room flows
by seamlessly connecting adjacent rooms,
allowing the flexibility to close spaces off
or join them.
“The rolling feature of barn doors creates a
fresh look in any home,” says Brad Loveless,
product development manager for Simpson
Door Company. “The functionality of a door
mounted on a barn track allows homeowners
to control the degree to which spaces are
opened or closed.” Unlike conventional hingemounted
doors, barn doors open previously
divided rooms with an air of intentionality.
Showcasing
Style and Personality
Like a distinctive piece of art in the home,
the right interior door can showcase a homeowner’s
style and personality. An unexpected
door style creates a great discussion point
when entertaining friends and family. Is
your home lacking a statement piece that
inspires creativity and sparks conversation?
You may find that a barn door is a simple
solution to this problem with its eye-catching
rolling feature.
Adaptable to Changing
Style Trends
Do you ever worry that the sweater you
bought last week will be out of style in a
year or two? Are you a trend skeptic since
the bell-bottom era? (If those can go out of
style, anything can, right?) These farmyardmeets
indoors statement pieces have actually
been around for over a decade. Today you’ll
find barn doors with a modern, sleek look,
rustic wood paneling or even made with a
chalkboard.
Barn doors are available from several
companies. For homeowners who like the
look and feel of wood doors, Simpson Door
Company offers rustic-style barn doors, as
well as sleek, contemporary doors that can
be mounted on barn track hardware.
Why Now?
Adding a barn door while you’re stuck
inside for the cold months makes an immediate
visual difference in your home and
can provide a scenic backdrop for holiday
photos. •
