8 Stylish Spots for Sliding Barn Doors in Riverside Homes

August 13, 2018

Sliding barn doors have made a big comeback in Riverside interior design. In fact, they’ve been one of the biggest home decor trends of 2018. Maybe sliding barn doors have come back in a big way because of their versatility – they can go just about anywhere in your home!

These are some of our favorite ways to use sliding barn doors in Riverside homes.

Barn Doors in Master Bathrooms

Using 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 much cozier, but it lets you use space in ways that other doors can’t. When you open a standard door, it takes up space in either the bedroom or the bathroom it connects to – sliding barn doors slide directly next to the wall to give you plenty of space.

Sliding Barn Doors as Closet Doors

Just like bathroom doors, sliding barn doors give you plenty of extra space when used as a closet door. That makes them a perfect choice for a closet in a common area like a hallway or the foyer. In addition, these closets are a great spot for sliding barn doors, since they’re usually in rooms where you’ll have guests so you can show it off.

Barn Doors as Room Dividers

No one said barn doors need to occupy the same places as normal doors? Wide sliding barn doors can help divide one of your roms into smaller spaces to create a little more personal mood in your Riverside home.

Sliding Barn Doors as a Modern Door Replacement

In Riverside condos, townhouses, and long-term apartments, barn doors are being used more as these spaces catch up to modern interior design. With a sliding barn door in your space, your space will feel more spacious and less segmented. In their own small way, barn doors can help you get the best parts of a house and a condo.

Barn Doors as a Window Treatment

We usually refer to barn doors on windows as “barn door shutters,” even if they don’t have a lot in common with interior plantation shutters. But they are similar to shutters in that they have an enduring style, and they block a lot of outside light to keep your interior cool and inviting.

Barn Doors Framing an Entertainment Center

This is actually one of the most unique ways we’ve seen barn doors used. Barn doors can be a frame and a cover for a wall-mounted TV set. You can not only frame the TV (just like a letterbox feature), but you can also hide the screen when it’s not in use to make your space a little more rustic.

Home Office Sliding Barn Doors

Sliding doors are a unique blend of fun design, stunning looks, and practicality, so they’re great in a Riverside home office. Sunburst even offers barn doors with built-in mirrors, or with dry-erase boards for writing notes or planning.

Keep in mind, just because that’s where you work doesn’t mean your home office has to be plain.

Barn Doors in Riverside Commercial Spaces

All right, so this isn’t a home, but it’s worth mentioning how wonderfully barn doors work in commercial spaces. Dividing off parts of a store or cafe, or as a wall between a lobby and conference rooms – classic barn doors exemplify the rustic chic trend that’s booming in commercial spaces.
