Door Options for Tight Spaces
When space is limited, the right door can make all the difference. Instead of a traditional swinging door that takes up floor space, here are a few smart options to consider:
Pocket Doors: These slide into the wall when opened, completely hidden, making them perfect for bathrooms, closets, or laundry rooms where every inch matters. Pocket doors can be a little more involved to install since the wall has to accommodate the track, but they are a sleek, space-saving solution that can complement all design styles. The costs for pocket doors is higher than a standard framed door but when remodeling will allow for them they are a great tool to increase functional space.
Barn Doors: A stylish option that slides along a track mounted on the outside of the wall. Barn doors add rustic charm but can also be customized for modern or industrial looks. They’re great for rooms where you don’t mind the door being visible when open and are in the mid-range as far as cost is concerned.
Bi-Fold Doors: Commonly used for closets and pantries, bi-fold doors fold in on themselves. They don’t take up as much room as a swinging door but aren’t as seamless as a pocket or barn door. One of their benefits is that they are typically more cost effective than other options.
Glass Doors (Interior): Perfect for adding a modern, airy feel between rooms while maximizing space. They allow natural light to pass through and work well with contemporary designs but can be costly depending on glass type and hardware.
