In recent years, interior design has witnessed a resurgence of interest in rustic charm and farmhouse aesthetics. One element that has become a hallmark of this style is the barn sliding door.

Originally used in traditional barns to provide easy access and efficient space utilization, these sliding doors have seamlessly made their way into modern homes and offices, bringing a touch of timeless elegance and functionality.

Sliding barn doors are a type of door that opens by sliding horizontally on a track fixed into the wall.  Different from swinging doors that open and close by swinging to a single direction, sliding barn doors open and close by sliding to the sides parallel to the wall. Sliding barn doors have become a popular door style due to its elegance and practicality.

The sliding barn door can be a statement piece and open up precious floor space when rooms are tight, such as narrower areas like corridors. They do need a substantial amount of free wall space to move enough room needs to be left so as not to block your view of other decorations.

The most common types of doors used for sliding barn doors are solid wood, here at Wittswood all our barn sliding doors are made from premium European Oak.

Although the traditional Z-frame panelled door is the image most people have of a barn door, many different styles are available. Check out our full range, including Diamond, Criss Cross, Half Cross and Union Jack styles.
