Barn style sliding doors: how and why to get the look

Barn-style sliding door in hallway area.
Sliding doors are versatile statement pieces that can open up a room, section off a home office or transform an awkward layout. Available in a variety of styles (from rustic to industrial), and further customisable with hardware, barn-style sliding doors will add charm to any living space.

Change it up

Barn-style sliding doors are a cost-effective and easy way to transform spaces and add character to your home.

Open it up: Sliding doors are ideal transition pieces, connecting rooms together with a natural fluidity, opening up your floorplan. In addition, an exterior sliding door can help open up your living spaces to outdoor entertaining areas.

Instant office-maker: Need a home office? A sliding door can create a cosy, private space where there wasn’t one before.

Problem-solver: If your home has an awkward angle or exposed kitchen pantry, a sliding door is an efficient and elegant solution.

Space-savers: Because they operate without a hinge and glide along a track, you don’t need extra space for a door arc. All that barn-style sliding doors require is adequate wall space to slide over when opened, and they come in a wide range of shapes and styles, from single panels to four-door options for larger openings.

Installation made easy

It is easy to D.I.Y. install the door tracks for barn-style sliding doors at home. All you need is a door track kit and a few simple tools and materials.

Tip: Make sure the door you’re hanging weighs less than 80kg. Doors weighing more than 80kg might damage the door frame or room.

A style for any space

Barn-style sliding doors are still available in rustic homestead styles, but they have also evolved to suit most architectural and design preferences, from Scandi to Coastal, Minimalist to Hollywood Glam. You can further customise them with stylish accessories and hardware to make the look completely your own.

Sliding doors also come in a wide variety of sizes, with pre-finished and ready to hang options available.

Health & Safety

Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.

Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer. You can also use a simple test kit from Bunnings to indicate the presence of lead-based paint.
