Barn Door Hardware Ideas for Home Renovation

 CHALKBOARD FINISH BARN DOOR

The chalkboard sliding door not only perfectly serves as a space-saving solution for limited spaces like kitchens, hallway pantries, but it can also be a family bulletin board, or a handy writing board to record your pop-up ideas or a large creativity area for graffiti.

 
The brilliant combination of chalkboard and door can brighten the room with much imagination, energy, and happiness, especially when you have kids. Nothing is more heart-touching than a drawing of the family from those little hands, isn’t it? Having an additional chalkboard in a family also makes homeschooling much convenient.

 

MIRRORED DOOR

The mixture of the mirror and the door takes the functionality and practicality of sliding door hardware to the next level. A mirrored sliding door is a true savior for small spaces as it can save the space for a full-length mirror in your room, and best of all, the reflection in a sizable mirror can enlarge the room visually. It works just fine in the dressing room, bathroom, foyer, or any place you want it to look bigger.

 

SLIDING CABINET DOOR

Believe it or not, a set of small/mini barn door hardware can make an old plain cabinet/closet shine again. They complement each other and effortlessly add a rustic and vintage touch to the piece. It’s a cost-effective old cabinet refurbishing option that doesn’t need to sacrifice style.

 

WINDOW TREATMENTS

Don’t confine your creativity by its name, barn door hardware is not just for doors, it’s also innovative and unique window treatment. If you’re tired of fabric curtains and blinds, barn-style shutters are a viable replacement. These wood panels share the same merits as traditional fabric curtains, which is efficiently blocking out light and heat, while wood shutters are much easier to clean and maintain compared with fabric ones. Furthermore, if you got French windows and cats, wood window shutters are a rather wise anti-scratch solution.

 

ROOM DIVIDERS

Sliding barn door dividers are now a powerful competitor for walls. The versatility and flexibility of a movable divider give more options to the layout and functionality of the room.
