Question

Opinions please.  looking to put doors on my office.Opinions please. looking to put doors on my office. I have a rustic/farmhouse/boho style. Do I. 1. Buy white interior regular French doors (or another color/style). Knowing that the doors won’t open all the way and may annoy the shit out of me. 2. Buy a barn door? Knowing the barn door will cross into the little section on the left (while open), possibly make me feel like a prisoner in my office (or make me feel like I’m on a vacation) and might not match the wood floors. I’m so confused! What do y’all think?  

Answer 1

Get French doors with only one side open I think the openness we'll make the room look bigger. Everyone's getting the barn doors and they are going to be out of style eventually

Comments

@pigling I don’t think so. I think the trend will be around awhile much like the natural wood was a fad for a long time.

@chambertin94 could be

Answer 2

You could get barn doors with windows so it doesn’t feel so dark

@pissed so expensive though  like over 2k  

Answer 3

Pinterest had some cute ideas. I would do a barn door that has some glass so you dont feel closed in. I also like these.

Answer 4

These are interesting looking

Answer 5

You don’t want to match woods in your house. So the Barnwood door should be stained a different color. What about antique doors? I like the window idea like above poster said.

Here are a few from Pinterest when I searched antique office doors.

@carliecarlile love those!

@chambertin94 Now I want an office so I can do this too  My husband and I own a remodeling company and we love when customers go off the beaten path.  

---

@carliecarlile I have always loved this look! And love all things within this style. I was wanting to hear and see other options as I was kind of in a creative rut

---

@chambertin94 Now you can help me with mine . I have a half wall in my kitchen that I need some kind of texture on because it gets beat up by kids and dogs on the way outside. I already have a Barnwood wall in family room.

@carliecarlile pics?

@chambertin94 This is a Pinterest pic of the paint and similar to my floor color.  

Answer 6

I would do French doors or even a vintage/farmhouse double screen door. Unless you’re outing the doors on for it to be quiet then that may not work. It would add a little character and keep with your decor though.  

Answer 7

Built in “she shed” with the barn door

Answer 8

Go with French I think it opens up the room. I think we've got a similar look in a sense from another angle.  

Answer 9

Pocket doors would’ve been nice.  

Answer 10

I would do French paned glass doors

Answer 11

I love barn doors so I would probably do that. I would do double ones that slide to both sides. And you definitely don’t have to match your hardwoods. We have hardwood- not as red as yours and then our barn door is a darker stain.

@sandpaper I love that! Thanks for sharing!  

Answer 12

I would do French. Give the sense of a window to look out to and gives more light and won’t feel boxed in

Answer 13

Barn doors

Answer 14

What about pocket doors? I think someone else mentioned them

Answer 15

I have French doors they both open all the way

Answer 16

I own Chicago Barn Door Co. In Lombard and I can help if you decide to go with the Barn Doors!  

Answer 17

How about something like this? Best of both worlds  

Answer 18

Really like these—-$700 though  

Comments

@menton896 ooooh those are beautiful

Answer 19

My husband did these.  

Answer 20

I would do double glass barn doors!  

Answer 21

Barn doors for sure

Answer 22

I would do french doors unless this is your forever home. barn doors are a fad. Not everyone is doing this whole “barn/rustic” style.  

Answer 23

I think that French doors would be nice since it would complement the closet doors to the left. I think barn doors would compete with the closet when open. And I love the barn door look. Plus you absolutely have the space for French. And you would always be able to see that lovely decor!  

Answer 24

French doors. ❤️

Answer 25

My opinion: barn doors are fun and new BUT they will overpower this area. And it will look like a lot of doors in your hall. You will also need to remove your nice decorations. So regular white glass FRENCH DOORS . But measure carefully as your current opening may be too small!  

Comments

@specs this is my concern. Thanks

Answer 26

Pocket doors are nice because when open, you don't see them.
