As a homeowner, you are probably familiar with the need to compromise between what gives you the most space in which to live, and what looks best. Most people never consider that the doors in their homes are an excellent place to start when you need to improve appearance or save space, and much of the time there is no compromise needed. Here are three ways interior sliding doors can make your home appear more organized, attractive, and contribute to functionality.
- Glass sliding doors.
- Closet sliding doors.
- Use interior sliding doors in front of shelving.
Glass sliding doors may be ideal for your decor, but consider if they would be ideal for your lifestyle. If you have kids or pets, you may want to carefully consider which rooms might get a glass door. Consider frosted glass where you would like to have privacy, such as for an entryway into a bathroom. Glass sliding doors are not just for showers.
When you need to save room, a sliding door is ideal for closets. Consider mirrored closet doors, as they uniquely combine form and function. Mirrors also server the purpose of making a room look larger than it actually is.
Where you would like to have the illusion of a closet, use interior sliding doors directly in front of shelving. They are a great way to have a lot of space for a wardrobe without having to embark on any of the necessary construction a closet requires. Additionally, they provide the option of having a very large closet with very variable shelving heights, unlike in traditional closets.
Remember that quality sliding doors should never slam shut, but should instead have smooth and well built tracks that allow the doors to slide into place easily. Sliding doors are an incredible alternative to swinging doors either in the home or the office. Wherever you need to save space and still have a stylish appearance, choose sliding doors that match your needs.
