Not only does it make your bathroom look much cozier, but it lets you utilize space like other doors can’t. When you open a standard door, it occupies space in either the bathroom or the bedroom that leads to it – barn doors slide directly next to the wall to give you plenty of space.Barn Doors as Closet DoorsSimilar to the bathroom, barn doors give you tons of extra space when used as a closet door. That makes them a wonderful choice for a closet in a common area like a hallway or the foyer. Plus, general use closets are the perfect place to put barn doors, because they’re usually out in the open so you can show it off.Barn Doors as Room DividersWho says barn doors always have to occupy the same places as normal doors?
