Barn doors are a fun and practical way to upgrade the look of any room. Whether it highlights a smaller space or is incorporated into your tasteful kitchen decor or living room area, wood barn doors stand as a unique and functional piece for any home. With Dogberry’s high-quality yet affordable DIY kits, homeowners anywhere in the United States can add sliding barn doors for a cost-saving home upgrade.
Space Saving Design & Other Benefits of Barn Doors
Interior barn doors offer both functional and aesthetic benefits to any home. When left open or ajar, traditional doors can sometimes block hallways and high-traffic areas. Because they sit flush on the wall and slide open, barn doors can save space in doorways and hallways.
When it comes to double doors, the space-saving also doubles. Barn doors are a more affordable and private option than french glass doors, often installed in offices and sitting rooms. Instead of the clutter and noise of an open archway or glass doors, double barn doors allow you to close a space off from noise and chaos and add a unique decor piece all at once! Dogberry sliding barn doors can be used individually for a single-door opening or paired together for double-door entries.
Barn doors also increase your home’s safety. There is less likelihood of significant injury due to pinched fingers in barn doors, and moving furniture in and out of rooms with barn doors becomes safer and more accessible. Barn doors also block less light. They never block windows or light sources, keeping your room open, airy, and well-lit. Barn doors are also easier to open and manage when your hands are full, and you need access to a room.
Lastly, sliding barn doors upgrade the look of your home in a unique and stylish way. With six timeless styles and five versatile colors, Dogberry offers handcrafted wood barn doors for any taste and style.

Wood Barn Doors for the Family Room Entrance

However, installing french doors can be a hassle and take up valuable space. Sliding barn doors are an excellent choice for any family room entrance. You can easily slide them shut for privacy or leave them open for easy access. You can still move and fit large furniture pieces in and out of the room, and your beautiful wood barn doors create an excellent backdrop for a cozy space.
Barn Doors for Office Spaces and Craft Rooms
Installing a barn door in your home office or craft area is a creative way to add a design piece and more privacy to a space meant for only a few individuals. Barn doors are also a great way to find or create space needed for shelves or furniture in a smaller office or craft room.
