The Sliding Door Company Can Solve Your Space Planning Challenges

Glass Room Dividers in an Apartment Kitchen

When considering how to make changes to the way space is used in a home, many homeowners consider partial or complete renovation. While this is certainly an option, there is a solution for planning the use of space in your home without the cost and mess of renovation: interior sliding glass doors. Let’s explore how this simple addition from The Sliding Door Company can add space that you never thought you had.

How Can Interior Glass Doors Benefit Your Space?

It’s true that installing interior sliding doors can increase your space, but they can accomplish more than that. Because these doors are not on hinges, moving items into and out of a room is far easier. Simply slide the door aside, and you have all the space you need. Unlike traditional doors which swing outward from the frame, a sliding interior door remains close to the wall and requires only a simple push to move it aside.
The door can be slid to cover the entire frame, or pushed aside enough to allow air flow, all the while without breaking the visual lines or function of the room. They are also ideal for allowing lots of light into a space, adding to its warm and inviting feel. Finally, the interior door can be used as a cost-effective way to turn one room into two for the ultimate in functionality and privacy.

A World of Choice

Sliding interior glass doors are not only an incredibly popular choice among homeowners who want to better manage their space, but they are also available in a wide array of styles and customization options. No matter your personal style, there is an interior sliding door to match virtually every room in your home. What kinds of popular styles can you expect from The Sliding Door Company?

The Bi-Fold Door

Ideal for smaller spaces, bi-fold doors work in the same way as the doors you’d see on a phone booth, folding toward the edge of the door frame. Not only does this allow you to conserve the space of a room, but it also allows you to access nearly the entire width of the door frame as well, making you a superhero of space management.

The Barn Door

The barn door style is a fashionable and functional addition that can work for any room. Its clean and simple appearance with a decorative rail, and its simple operation via an upper track make this style the choice for many homeowners. Not only does the sliding barn door look great, but its silent operation makes it ideal in homes where quiet time is a priority. Another barn door option is the suspended barn door that is offered with no bottom track.

The Room Divider

Who says you can’t redesign on the fly? With this style of sliding interior door, you can add loads of functionality to a room with one push. Using sliding glass doors as room dividers allows you to change the size of your space by simply sliding them open to join one room to another, or sliding them closed for privacy.
There’s no doubt that you have many choices for style in sliding glass doors, but are they really as versatile as they seem? Let’s take a look at the rooms in your home that can benefit from an interior sliding door that our team creates for you, and you can decide; but just a disclaimer: Some may surprise you.

The Kitchen

Kitchen storage isn’t always as plentiful as we’d like, and clutter can be common in this well-used space. Sliding glass doors can conceal this space in an attractive way. When guests arrive, simply slide pantry doors closed, and place stools in front for additional seating to make entertaining even easier. A second set of sliding doors can split your kitchen space into an instant dining room that separates your working and dining areas quickly and efficiently.

The Bathroom

A sliding pocket door to separate a bathroom from a bedroom or hallway is ideal. Why? Because many bathrooms, whether the main or guest bathroom, can be the smallest room in a home, and a traditional door may simply not offer the most space or function. A sliding pocket door requires only wall space to push the door aside when entering and exiting. Select from a variety of glass types to help maintain privacy without interrupting the flow of light through your home.

The Bedroom

In the bedroom, a sliding glass door can be used for more than just the entryway. It can also be a great idea for spaces like a closet, where limited space can quickly become cluttered. Here, a mirror sliding door can both conceal unsightly closet space and add instant function and visual consistency and style to the room. A baby or child’s room can also be ideal locations for sliding glass doors, especially considering their almost completely silent operation.

The Latest Trends in Kitchen Design: Your 2018 Guide

Bronze hardware, tiled floors, open shelving, sliding glass doors—over the past few years, homeowners have continued to embrace classic but personalized kitchen spaces. Here are a few beautiful kitchen design ideas to inspire your more creative side.

Glass Pantry Doors

A kitchen pantry cabinet with glass doors never goes out of style. Perhaps that’s because glass is versatile enough to complement almost any look and modern enough to add excitement to any design. As always, you can use contrasting textures and styles to generate even more interest. For example, you’ll find that a modern glass door works just as well in a rustic setting (think natural woods or stonework walls) as it does in a sparser, more modern kitchen.

Sliding Glass Doors

If space is tight, separate the pantry area with sliding doors instead of swing doors. The most important part about using interior glass door sliding doors is saving valuable floor space. As with swing doors, you can select the type of glass (clear, frosted, opaque) that best fits your kitchen. With transparent doors, you can see the contents of your pantry at a glance, while frosted or opaque glass hides everything from view. You can also customize your frames in everything from white to walnut.

Open Shelving

Storage is a perennial problem, particularly in kitchens with limited space. Where do you put all those pots, pans, utensils, and recipe books? One solution is to pair glass-enclosed storage with open shelving. If you’re redesigning from scratch, you can install extra shelves in your islands. If your renovation goals are more modest, you can always add freestanding units to an existing island.

Exposed Wood

From floors to exposed ceiling beams, designers never tire of natural wood. You don’t have to have a farmhouse kitchen to enjoy the beauty. With so many different types of wood and finishes, you can create almost any aesthetic you want. Combine wood with glass barn doors to strike the perfect balance between traditional and contemporary design.

Blue Paint

If you want to cook in style (and raise the value of your home), ditch the neutrals and embrace the blues. Whether you opt for electric cobalt or baby blue, a splash of color can help you transcend the mundane and achieve the spectacular. Interior glass doors set in white aluminum frames offset the excitement and brings balance to the design. The result is a look that’s vibrant yet cool, bold yet classic.

Wine Closets

If you have some extra space and an impressive wine collection, consider transforming a regular pantry or closet into a dedicated wine closet. If you have enough shelves, the wine closet can also double as a pantry or storage area for fine china. Cover the space with sliding interior doors made of frosted glass to protect the wine and beautify the kitchen or hallway.

Getting Started

Whatever look you’re going for—old-world charm, sleek modernism, or bohemian eclecticism— glass sliding doors can help you design the perfect kitchen with a space that marries form and function, beauty and utility.
