Whether you're looking for a double barn door or a mini barn door on a cabinet, I've found a ton of DIY barn door ideas to inspire you!
Barn doors are a huge trend right now, and they're a great way to add a little personality to an otherwise boring space. Instead of a door that swings out, barn doors slide sideways on a rail to take up less room. I've put together a list of the best DIY barn door ideas to get your creative juices flowing!
This barn door may look complicated, but the basic frame is just a piece of plywood and a couple 1x6 boards! Wood shims give it that amazing texture, but you could also create a different look with a herringbone or shiplap pattern.
This unique barn door hardware pivots, so the door can fold up and slide out of the way! It's perfect for a cabinet like this one, or for a closet that already has bifold doors.
These narrow double barn doors frame the entryway to the room beyond, and close it off when needed.
Wow, these bright blue barn doors really make a statement! If you have a pantry with ugly bifold doors, this would be a great upgrade (and then upcycle the old doors into a blanket storage box like mine!)
Usually barn doors have a long, empty rail so you can slide them completely to one side. But by using special bypass barn door hardware, you can slide one door past another without taking up all that extra wall space!
I especially love how the frosted windows at the top gives them a lighter appearance, instead of a solid wall of doors.
This extra wide sliding barn door takes the place of two bifold closet doors. It turns an eyesore into a gorgeous focal point of the room!
Not only was this barn door a DIY, but the track is too! The door is made from pallet wood, and the track is made from scooter wheels and flat metal bars.
