Entryways in your home are incredibly important and often underestimated when it comes to design. If you want to refresh a space in your home without a serious renovation, it may be time to think about your doors.

If you’re unsure where to start, here are 5 curious interior door designs to inspire you when you want to give your home an update.

Sliding barn doors are a great way to add a little rustic charm to your space and they work well with both traditional and contemporary design. Though this style is most popular in the farmhouse chic or rustic decor styles, in recent years we’re seeing extremely modern sleek doors hung with sliding hardware. They are excellent as singles in between kitchens, pantries, and offices. For more ideas, check out these 5 Ways to Use Interior Sliding Barn Doors in Your Home. They’re incredibly functional and a great solution for saving space as they sit flush against the wall when opened. Sliding barn doors can be made from any typical door material and are mounted to a single rail near the ceiling allowing them to slide open and close easily. They can be fitted as a single or double door depending on your space, and are perfect for pantries, closets, or rooms lacking space.

Installing interior French doors in your home are a great way to open up a space and work well with both modern and traditional design. The glass panes allow light to flow into a space and they also provide great ventilation when left open. For added privacy or to block out light, you can easily install curtains which you can keep open or closed depending on your preference.
Bold Colored Doors
While neutral design is timeless and safe, especially for rental properties, a great and unexpected way to add color into a room is by painting an interior door. Choosing a bold, bright color for a door in a neutral space is a subtle way to add a pop of color that brightens up the space. One of the best things about painting a door in your home instead of an entire room is, it doesn’t cost a lot, and you can easily change it when you want to switch things up.
