I am considering a barn door to separate rooms but I'm concerned

5 år siden

but I'm concerned about the differing door styles in the house. This barn door will close this opening next to a pantry door. I am looking at old reclaimed cypress doors but I'm wondering if something more modern painted the same color as the ship lap would make more sense.

You have a lot going on there visually (shiplap, beams, hallways, fridge, etc). That is not a good location for a barn door, physically or aesthetically.

So you would need to lcose a hallway door just to be able to open your pantry? Um, I would say no to that.........................

Barn doors take up a lot of wall space. Not sure how this solves any problems.

Why do you even need a door in that spot?

Why a door ar all? I would change the pantry door to match the cabinets and sort of make it disappear,

i'd rather not lose the 'art space' to the left where the door has to slide to. depends how much you like the look of barn doors and how much change is jingling in your pocket.

What is the purpose of the door. Do you want a bard door because they are trendy?I would leave it open.

I too am not sure of the purpose of a barn door for a hallway. It would impede your ability to use at least one wall on one side (either pantry or art wall - likely the art wall if you want to keep a pantry) and as a barn door would be a poor sound dampener anyway.

If you want it as a design feature I think it is unecessary. There is already a lot going on in this space visually: shiplap, beams, etc. A barn door would tip or over for me to the “too far” side.

It looks like the door leads from your kitchen to your dining area. Not sure it makes sense to close it off? Seems like it would be frequently used.

Rather than add anything I would look for ways to make this area look less busy, i.e. paint that narrow door the color of the wall, remove the mirror with the wide frame, put a painting there with a narrow metal frame, perhaps even find a much larger rug with a less busy pattern.

This opening doesn't seem necessary. I would enclose the area and enlarge your pantry into the space behind it (which also doesn't seem as useful as is). You could then use a barn pantry door there if you wanted.

It looks like there is a butlers pantry in the area behind the mirror.

The purpose of the barn door is to close off the back den/ kitchen to the rest of the house, but I'm not sure that's necessary and comments suggest most people think I have enough going on here as it is. There is a wet bar in this pass through that you don't see in the picture so I don't want to completely close it off as phuninthesun suggests. Good decision making exercise!

OMGosh, the comments are great! Maybe no barn door and I like the idea of changing the pantry door to match the cabinets and make it sort of disappear. Less=more in this space which is more the size of a keeping area than a great room which is how we use it.

Is this an old house and the area we’re seeing an addition?

The wet bar should be inside of the butlers pantry. Extend the pantry.

Beads or a curtain would be better than a barn door.

Yes, Sammy. This is the addition on the back of the house; a side hall camelback. I got tired of constantly walking the hallway so I opened up these rooms to each other by taking out that closet and opened the small bedroom sacrificed for stairs to the new master to the side hall. This created a dining area. I wanted to take out all the walls here but opted for the storage this provided. Before I did that you could close off this back room from the rest of the house with the french doors into the side hall. We kinda missed that part because you could entertain or watch tv back here while others slept in the bedrooms. It was also a way to confine our dogs to one area of the house.

How about a double door like this:

This one is 8" tall and yours would be 6'8". You could play with style, doesn't have to be glass, might be panels or maybe you can make it to blend into the wall, like this:

Could you put a pocket door in (that pockets in behind the mirror)? (or maybe that a previously exterior wall...)

Only if you tear out the wall and re-frame it for a pocket door.

I suggest that using saloon style door the same design as your pantry door would be rationally. If you use pivot hardware for installation, you don't need to buy and install door frames and casings.

Modern option for barn door can be glass and aluminum design panel installed with barn track.

You should be concerned. Back away slowly and don't look back...

Scott. just do a regular in wood to match the room. get something like this and either paint or stain. or just do a single.

These would also be suitable for the pantry door, above and below.

couldn't straighten it.

A barn/slide door for that opening isn't practical.

Unless you need to be able to lock the door, you could use full length café/saloon doors with a window -- the kind that are often used in restaurants between kitchen and dining. They're NOT just for saloons or restaurants and they'd "hide" the view behind the door w/o being in the way.

You could also consider less than full length café/saloon doors.

My grandparents had saloon doors in a little kitchen that they used for wine making and canning on one of the lower levels of their five level split. I though they were the most awesome thing as a kid (though I also thought all the levels were cool too, and now I just remember how long it took to get from the lowest level/end of house to the highest level/other end of house).
