Sliding Door Trends: The Latest Designs and Innovations in Interior Doors

Pocket doors are used as interior sliding doors that disappear into the wall when opened. These space-saving doors work with frames that are recessed into the walls of your home. A track is mounted on top of the frame, and the door is suspended from a set of brackets that run along this track. The brackets have wheels that allow the door to slide open and close with ease. The frame of a folding door usually also has rails on the bottom to keep the door from hitting the wall as it slides in and out.

Although they are designed for small spaces, pocket doors can also make larger spaces feel larger. These clever entryways reduce the need to leave blank areas for traditional door swings. The entire mechanism is designed with space saving in mind.

While pocket doors are more complicated than traditional doors, there is no doubt that they bring another level of satisfaction. Pocket doors can use all the space saved for additional decoration, moving around, or just freeing up pockets to open up rooms. Transitions from room to room are literally seamless when pocket doors are tucked into the wall. Walking through the various rooms of your home feels more connected and coherent this way.

At the same time, the pocket door still fulfills its duty of closing off the space when required. Available latches allow you to lock the room or make the room easy to access. The different styles mean they can match any decor in your home. Their design does not hinder their use.

Sliding barn doors are a unique design feature that add a modern yet rustic feel to living spaces. They're a great creative way to bring charm, function and personality into your home. Rolling barn doors offer more than just visual appeal, which helps make them more popular than traditional swing doors.

Sliding barn doors are perfect for homes with small rooms and thus are very popular today. Traditional swing doors require a certain amount of space to open, which is a luxury that small apartments cannot give up. Ordinary sliding doors can sometimes damage walls with door handles and block walkways. While barn doors require some space in the wall to open effectively, they don't take up as much floor space as swing doors.

This stylish and unique feature is especially useful in small apartments where homeowners place furniture near the door. Sliding barn doors are a great option in homes where the typical door will open into the living space. In this case, a traditional door restricts access to another part of the house until the door is closed. The barn door simply slides open for easy access to and from the room.

Another benefit of sliding barn doors is that they are easy to install. Regular doors require accurate measurements before they can be installed in the doorway. Any miscalculations when noting down the dimensions will prevent the door from closing or opening properly.

If you plan to replace a traditional door, you may end up replacing the entire door frame. This operation may end up being an expensive woodworking project that is not in your budget. At the same time, barn sliding doors are very simple to install. Even after installation, you can easily replace it later when redecorating or updating your interior design style.

Sliding barn doors offer amazing functionality. At WEKIS, we can make them out of lightweight materials that allow little ones to open and close them easily. Leaving the barn door wide open can provide enough room for you and even large pieces of furniture to pass through the doorway.

design flexibility

Sliding barn doors are stylish and customizable to suit any desired aesthetic. Doors first came into the spotlight with the advent of the "shabby chic" style. The interior design combines rustic décor with metal and wooden furniture.

With a little imagination, you'll see that barn doors can fit many styles. Natural wood barn doors with metal trim look stunning in urban, country, and nature-inspired settings. Their clean and simple shapes are also a great addition to a minimalist modern home.

Flush mount sliding doors maximize space utilization by mounting the door within the wall. This design is more suitable for rooms with small spaces, such as toilets, kitchens and other places. That's because they don't require room to turn when opening or closing the door, which saves a lot of valuable space and improves the cleanliness and aesthetics of the room.

Flush mount sliding doors usually consist of a door and track, whereas a traditional sliding door sits on the track on the floor. So, if you have a track on the plinth, that track extends to the floor, creating a support structure for the door. When you use them, the door slides along the track. If a recessed mount is installed, the track itself goes into the floor. You create channels in the floor below the surface. The track goes into this channel rather than the floor itself. The bottom of the door sits in this groove.

Plus, you don't have to worry about stepping on tracks because they're hidden in their channels. You're less likely to damage the tracks or their seals, which are extra protected from your feet. So if you want a door in a small space, a recessed sliding door may be the best choice for you.

Today's homeowners are looking for a more unique door that fits their home but stands out from traditional offerings. In addition to the above three trends, there is another trend worth mentioning, that is rattan sliding doors. Rattan sliding door is a door made of natural materials, which can add to the natural ambiance and beauty of the room, while also providing good ventilation. Due to its lightweight design, rattan sliding doors are ideal for sliding cabinet doors, bringing more aesthetics and functionality to your home.

Durable, smooth-operating sliding doors will continue to outshine any future trends and are a must-have for top designer homes. Recently, we've seen a trend of combining modern updates with existing furniture and interior elements. Our team loves finding ways to help you realize your vision for a traditional or classic home remodel.
