Depending on your hardware the sound of the door sliding on the track can resemble rumbling thunder.
House got out of open barn door.
Now don t get me wrong.
I love a good rustic barn door.
In our current house one is putting a regular door going into our toilet room in the master bath.
Great if you want to catch your kids sneaking out of the house but otherwise not so much.
I particularly like the more streamlined hardware on this one.
Take it down and replace it with a sliding barn door.
Not only did it solve the problem but it added another element of visual interest to the room.
From the countryside barns these wide sliding doors have entered the house to become popular interior décor pieces.
And finally this is a tiny beef but some sliding doors are pretty loud when they open and shut.
If you are converting a standard door to a barn door i d recommend routering a groove in the bottom of the door rather than letting it swing free.
This keeps the door from swinging in and out as it rolls and possibly damaging the door or baseboards or wall.
It was always in the way when open.
Barn doors are not just for barns anymore.
Match the look of your room with a sliding door with the same look open or closed to go with your décor.
From cozy bedrooms to rustic home offices and perfect room dividers barn style doors are all the rage for homeowners.
And if i were to move to a rustic farmhouse or beach house or lake house for that matter i d be all over a true to form barn door or even one made from reclaimed wood.
