How a barn door can revamp your bathroom

Surprising barn door ideas

Barn doors are not your typical doors, and their versatility is what appeals to many homeowners, as well as the relative ease with which they can be installed. They can be used in many areas of the home, but some people are afraid of breaching the bathroom issue. 

Can barn doors be used there too? You bet they can. You can take advantage of their space-saving capabilities if you only take a moment to consider your own privacy needs when it comes to barn doors. 

Doors that intersect between the main areas of the home and bathrooms will need to have better soundproofing than more private bathrooms. 

You can ensure privacy by adding a lock to the barn door and ensuring you use a solid door that stops any noise. Barn doors are great for bathrooms, so let’s delve into four ways of using them in that room of the house.  

Section off the bathroom from eating and living areas 

You can see how this tactic was successfully used in the video above with a barn door from Bunnings.  

It is a bit unsavoury these days to have a toilet built off a kitchen or living area, but it can still happen in older homes. So what do you do when you are craving more privacy?

You don’t want smells or sounds to seep into the living areas. Your cocktail party guests will be too afraid to use your bathroom for fear of being found out!

To avoid embarrassment and to minimise these issues, you need to ensure that you do two things when installing your barn door hardware.

First of all, you need to ensure that you choose a barn door from Bunnings that is considerably bigger than the doorway you want it to cover. 

This is vitally important. If you don’t do this, you will have gaps between the wall and door that will compromise bathroom privacy. 

Secondly, you need to invest in a barn door floor guide, which will keep the door from swinging out from the wall when it moves. This will also stop damage to your walls. 

Reinstate your bathroom as the master

If you have a so-called master bathroom that is not living up to its name, then you can easily add a more grand entrance with a barn door from Bunnings. 

With the help of a bit of attractive barn door hardware, you can soon install a barn door from Bunnings that improve the aesthetics and functionality of your space. 

If your current master bathroom does not have a door at all, you can easily enjoy greater privacy as well as more protection from associated sounds and smells. 

A barn door from Bunnings offers a beautiful way of sectioning off the en suite of your bedroom so that what happens in there stays your little secret. 

Choose barn door hardware from our range here at Rolltrak that complements the look of your bedroom, creating focal points on your door to catch your eye. 

With barn doors, it is easy to turn a boring-looking wall into a pleasing feature, and this is no more true than when it comes to your bedroom wall.

Enter your bathroom with a flourish

Barn doors can turn any bathroom entrance into a dramatic affair, and not only that; they add beauty to doorways everywhere. 

Your barn door hardware can add to that effect, with a wide range of door track finishes and styles available. Just by choosing a different track set, you can completely revamp the look of your bathroom. 

Barn door handles are another way you can add style to your hallway bathroom, with recessed, pull, or raised handles available. 

If you’re thinking of installing a bathroom barn door from Bunnings in a relatively public area of the home, it’s a good idea to choose a solid barn door, which is naturally more noise-proof. 

If you’re after extra privacy from communal areas, you may want to consider installing a barn door latch. This offers the opportunity to lock the barn door from the inside of the bathroom. 

Enhance cabinets and closets

It’s not just doorways that can benefit from barn doors from Bunnings. You can also equally apply them to cabinets and closets. 

Just use one of our cabinet barn door track sets that are the appropriate size for cabinets to create miniature barn doors to cover storage spaces for towels and other bathroom toiletries. 

Closets can make use of our full-size barn door track sets that come in a wide range of finishes to suit any bathroom decor choices. 

Never before has there been such a stylish way to stow away your bathroom staples than behind a cabinet or closet barn door. 

If you want to get really fancy, you can even install a closet door that is made of glass and have it frosted for aesthetic effect. Just use our barn door hardware for glass.
