10 enchanting ideas for furnishing your home with sliding doors

Gaining space in every room, and maybe even letting in more light: these are some of the advantages that installing sliding doors in your home. These doors are much more user-friendly and advantageous than traditional doors.

For this reason, sliding doors are often used to partition off various areas of the home. For example, they may allow passage from the kitchen to the living room, or from the bedroom to the bathroom. And they come in many different styles. Check out some of these below:

Not that they have ever completely fallen out of fashion, these doors have enjoyed a recent surge in popularity since the so-called "barn doors" came into vogue, i.e. sliding doors which look like they come from rustic barns.

This "rustic" trend is now popular everywhere, and examples of farmyard-style sliding doors can be found in many new, modern homes.

One way in which they are used frequently is to separate the bedroom from an ensuite bathroom, for example. And if you decorate the door with a mirror, it will provide two functions!

The most popular material of choice for all doors, even sliding ones, is wood. And wooden doors can come in a thousand different styles - from the most rustic to the most modern.

With sliding doors, you can also close off a niche in a room - which can then be used as a wardrobe, laundry corner, storage closet and more.

For those who are fascinated by the Orient, sliding doors can also be made with paper panels framed in wood. It is a special paper, produced in Far Eastern countries. But this style can easily suit Western and modern settings too.

Sliding doors also serve as a dividing element, and can even become sliding partitions that define an area, such as the bedroom.

Many models have a runner rail, which is mounted above the opening.

But these runner rails can also be hidden from view.

And when the properties of the wall allow for it, the most elegant solution is to have the door slide into a central recess, as shown in this photo.
