Barn doors can create a dramatic or subtle look and deliver architectural interest, while saving space and adding privacy. Barn door for living rooms are available in a multitude of styles, and are the perfect solution as a room divider, or a passage door. Adding a barn door to your living room offers many benefits beyond the design and style it adds to your space.
Privacy
Living spaces can sometimes be limited so the actual living room can play double duty as a living space and a kids’ playroom. It’s a place for your family to gather and chat, celebrate milestones, watch movies and play games, make crafts, or read books. The space needs to allow kids to just be kids, to learn and be creative. The space also needs to allow for privacy once the kids have gone to bed and the adults can unwind and watch a movie. Adding a sliding barn door as a living room door allows for this to happen. Open the barn door in the living room space so you can ensure the kids are playing safely, while you are busy doing other things. Close the living room barn door when you do not want to wake the children.
Room Divider
Working remotely is here to stay and we are all scrambling to find a place where we can work productively and minimize interruptions. A sliding barn door in the living room means you can separate a home office from the busy family living room space. The barn door in the living room works as a divider, ensuring online meetings are conducted without interruptions, like your dog looking for a belly rub, your son wondering what’s for lunch, or your partner asking if you have booked the dinner reservation! It allows your home office to be easily divided from the rest of the home. Plus, slide the doors close at the end of the day and forget about work until the next morning!
Styles of Barn Doors
Whatever your design style may be, selecting a barn door for the living room can be done by answering a few of these easy questions:
- Single or Double Barn Door?
- Neutral shade or Bold color?
- Add a Soft Close and/or Privacy Latch?
Depending on the size of your doorway, you need to select a single barn door option or a biparting application, which is designed to cover a larger opening. A biparting application will require you to purchase two complete barn door kits and install the kits side by side so the doors easily glide from one track to the next.
