Sliding doors

 

The use of sliding doors could be a good solution for a possible lack of space in your home and barn sliding doors add a rustic touch to your home.

  1. I love all versions of these. Used appropriately, they are a great look and space savers!! I have several pocket doors in my house and I love the rustic barn doors but you have to be careful that they fit aesthetically and not just following a trend!!

  3. What a charming post dahhling... Of course I love the doors from your design firm the best because they are so formal & chic. Here in our petit Garden many houses have them but we call them: "pocket doors"...

  8. I have been considering putting doors like this between the breakfast are and the great room. My favorites are the one you chose and the doors with the green patina.
    I am always so inspired by you!

  12. Greet, I loved those from your company. I have to admit that the barn doors are just too trendy for me personally--although with images like these I could change my mind. :) When I was little, we lived for awhile in a big Victorian house--it was so beautiful! There were giant oak doors that slid to close off the "parlour" from the formal living room. We would have our Christmas morning celebrations in there and you can imagine the excitement when my Dad would roll back the doors to show us what Santa had left us! Happy memories...

    Bisous (et pour Mango aussi),

  14. I love sliding doors and I have used them at times when possible. In a classic house I prefer the ones disappearing in the wall but I also love the more rustic ones in the right interiors.

  15. Beste Greet,
    I love sliding doors, they don't use much space and you can separate or connect two rooms. In our telly room we have them between the kitchen. Instead of me jelling to our daughters, "close the door", they do it to me while watching telly.
    Thank you so much for all your lovely blogs, I enjoy them every time.
    Warm greetings, Wilma

  17. Love the looks of the sliding doors and would love to use them somewhere. My husband is actually trying to figure out how we can use them into our laundry room. They seem to go with almost every decor, they're wonderful!

    I hope you're doing well!

  18. I have been seeing this in more and more homes and since we might be shopping for a new home some day ... I have started a file of things I want . The sliding "french doors" really appeal to me.
    All of the doors in my home are French doors but I never thought of them for sliding .. brilliant :)

  19. The last image is my favorite! My favorite way to see sliding doors-- in a wall pocket! Beautiful-- all of them!

  20. Funny I have never been a huge fan but presented like you did, you have won me over. They are great space savers and in the right space they can be a very practical choice....like pocket doors the best. Nicely done!

  21. Hello dear friend,
    You're absolutely right, sliding doors and especially sliding barn doors look fabulous! I would use them if I had a place for them. But, alas I do not.:)

  23. I love these sliding doors you posted. I used one in my home, but haven't made a post on it. You just gave me an idea! What I'd like to know is where do you source those exposed rails for the doors? I don't know what they are called, so I've never found them locally.

  24. The most delightful examples! I love the sliding French doors, we had them in the apartment, where I grew up in Dresden! A grand old art nouveau building.
    Thank you for the memories your post brought!

  26. I was just thinking of using sliding doors in my kitchen. I love the weathered doors and think they would make a great addition to any room.

    Thank you for the encouraging post!

  27. Oh Dearest Greet I had no idea that sliding doors could be so chic! I have to say that Lefevre Interiors are my favourite though as they are such a divine shade! Hugs from a manic old farmhouse in England - Glenda xxxxxxxx

  28. Hi Greet!

    I don't see you for so long! How are you doing? I hope everything is great with you.

    I really enjoyed this post. I also adore your "favorite one". The patina is simply gorgeous.

    Have a wonderful day, sweetie.

  29. Hi my dear friend. I have recovered from my whirlwind trip to Stockholm and I am starting my blog hopping - here.

    A sliding barn door is SO on my wish list for my next (dream!) home. Love the look and feel.

    I think I need to put this entire post into my own Pinterest image base!

    Happy weekend to you and your family.

  31. Greet,
    Although I do not have any of these types of doors, I am saving the images as I would love to incorporate into our future home!
    I also like the idea of books in the dining room...my next home will not have formal dining, but I can see lovely millwork with ample space for books!

  32. Greet,
    Of course yours and the sliding French doors are my favorite. The barn doors, while good looking, are not appropriate for my home. I have many sliding doors here. In a recent remodel, I chose sliding French doors with sand blasted glass inserts. It is great for a small space where you want privacy and transmittal of light.
    All the best...Victoria
