Space comes at a premium, and so it’s important to be able to make the most of what you have. Luckily, there are several space-saving door options available that bring both functionality and style to the table. If you’re working with tight doorways and limited room, check out these space-savvy solutions.
Pocket Doors
Pocket doors are a smart solution for slim spaces because they slide right into the crevice of the wall and don’t require any room to swing open. For homes large and small, they’re a top pick among interior designers simply because of their minimal impact and practical function.
And, personalizing a pocket door to suit your space has never been easier. With our all-new Custom Fit Pocket Door Frame, you can customize your perfect fit by choosing your jamb size, width and height, closure options, and track capacity.
This door frame is made in-house from pine wood with galvanized steel extrusions for extra strength and rigidity. Add-ons like the heavy-duty aluminum track and soft-close feature make this pocket door feel top of the line.
Barn Doors
Another smart space-saver is the barn door. Like pocket doors, barn doors don’t require swing space, and can be added anywhere from doorways to pantries to hallways. Barn doors have seen a boom in popularity recently, as they are relatively easy to install and add an instant punch of style to a room. They come in a range of designs, from farmhouse-inspired to simple Shaker style.
The biggest downside of a barn door is that it is inherently less soundproof than a traditional door, because of the gaps between the wall and the door. Depending on where you place the door (such as a closet or laundry room), this may not be an important factor; however, it is worth noting if you are intending to create a private, quiet space.
Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are a tried-and-true solution for small spaces. They are a common choice for closets, laundry rooms, and utility areas because they require minimal wall space in order to work—much less wall space than either pocket doors or barn doors.
Plus, some bifold doors feature louvered slats, which allow for ventilation—ideal for places like the laundry room where heat and moisture can build up. From our contemporary Flush Birch style to our bestselling paneled options, we offer a wide range of bifold doors suited to every home style.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade outdated closet doors, create a sectioned-off home office, or make a clear divide between the dining room and the kitchen, find a door design you love in the width and height you need.
