Make the most of your barn door hardware for a sleek modern look
So you’ve bought a new barn door for your home to switch things up and add a refreshing, modern look to your living space. Previously, we’ve taken a look at some great ways in which you can decorate your barn door. But did you know that there are plenty of barn door hardware options that can truly pull the whole look together? From barn door tracks to handles, there’s no shortage of little ways in which you can create a great fit to match your interiors.
Here are a few tips for how to add the perfect finishing touch to your barn door to create an eye-catching feature point that people notice when visiting your home.
Adding finish right at the start
A great start to ensuring your barn door looks complete and will stand the test of time is using a good finish on the door to prepare it. This will ensure there is no chafing between the wood and the barn door tracks. It also helps bring out the true nature of the wood grain, and the richer colour is perfect if you want your barn door to have a more natural look. The right treatment will ensure you enjoy your new barn door for years to come.
Colour coordinate how you want
If the natural wood look isn’t quite the right aesthetic for your space, you can paint over your barn door to best match your interior. Whatever option you choose, Rolltrak has a great selection of barn door tracks to coordinate with any kind of finish. Perhaps the doors are being installed at a beach house, and then the white tracks and accessories are great for creating a clean and refreshing look. Or, if you’ve chosen a minimalist modern theme like our knockdown glass barn doors, you’ll go for a solid colour palette. Consider both the finish of the door and the interiors when selecting your barn door hardware.
Marry style and functionality
The humble handle is one of the most necessary yet overlooked parts of a door, and your barn door handles can make a great statement while providing an essential function. There are plenty of styles to choose from depending on the space your door opens to. From old-fashioned square handles that pair exceptionally well with natural wooden doors to sleek round single pull-style handles that add a touch of modernity – or maybe a chic round finger pull handle that’s perfect for a kids’ room? When you begin looking at everyday barn door hardware more closely, you’ll be surprised at the ideas you can come up with!
Safety first
Often barn door accessories are considered an awkward final addition, but did you know that they can look great while securing your door? You can use a soft closer to prevent your barn door from wear and tear with regular use and protect it from damage when suddenly slammed shut. Like the handle before it, the barn door latch is another humble component that both looks stylish and keeps your room safe. And if you’re concerned about your door swinging out or its stability, you can use a barn door floor guide to keep it aligned. By choosing the same finish as the rest of the accessories and track, you can integrate your barn door hardware and accessories seamlessly into your full design.
