The doors in your home play an important role in both the functionality and the aesthetics of your space. There are so many door types to choose from, so you can find the best fit for the location and purpose the door will be serving. Each type of door has a unique style and functionality to serve different spaces. If you’re struggling to choose the perfect door for your home, consider one of these popular choices.
French Doors
French doors are a classic and timeless beauty. These doors can be used to connect an interior space to an exterior space or as a separator between two interior spaces. French doors are two separate doors that can each be opened individually or at the same time. A traditional French door design consists primarily of glass. This is great when you want to make a space feel larger. Other door styles cut off the line of sight from one space to the next, while French doors allow your view to continue without interruption.
Passage Doors
Passage doors are the stereotypical door installed in most doorways. They’re affordable, reliable, and always a safe choice. A simple hinge allows the door to swing into the room for easy access. Passage doors are a good classic choice for bedrooms and bathrooms. They can be painted or stained easily, so transforming your door to fit your latest design plans won’t break the bank.
Barn Doors
Barn doors are a popular choice for people looking to modernize their homes in a unique way. The door operates by sliding on a track that’s placed above the outside of the doorway. Sliding the door to open or close it makes for easy use. The lack of a hinge that swings the door out can help your space feel larger than it would with a passage door. Barn doors are most commonly used for hallways and bathrooms.
Pocket Doors
Pocket doors are the perfect solution for closets, powder rooms, and other tight spaces that cannot accommodate other doors without feeling cramped. The door slides in and out of a pocket in the wall using a track. When the door is open, it slides into the pocket and disappears!
Sliding Doors
Sliding glass doors are used as a gateway from your interior space to your exterior space. They help make interior spaces feel larger by bringing in lots of natural light and bringing the outside into your view. Sliding doors are the perfect way to go from your kitchen to a walkout deck or patio. If you like to entertain, large sliding doors will allow you to feel connected to your guests rather they’re inside or out.
