Manhattan Door Hangers 

You can live in the city, long for the country and bring some farmhouse chic into your urban abode with a sliding barn door. This relative newcomer to the interior design stage comes in an almost endless variety of materials, colors and textures, including wood, metal, glass and mirror. Zillow has reported that homes listed with “barn doors” sell faster than ones without them. We recently installed a handsome angled-wood door for a client’s daughter’s room in the city.

 The Paintworks crew removed and disposed of the old door trim before adding J Bead around the rough edges. The doorway was plastered, smoothed and painted. The top rails must be perfectly level and super secure for the door to slide effectively. We used high quality hardware and extra anchors. The new door adds a rustic style statement that blends simplicity with elegance and a touch of country with urban sophistication. Sliding barn doors are revered for saving floor space, though they do require more wall space. Besides replacing a room door, these novel sliding doors can hide a laundry room, close off a pantry or conceal a mounted TV set in a timeless style grounded in the American farm. Let Paintworks evaluate your space, share country, industrial and contemporary styles and incorporate an intriguing interior sliding barn door in your home.
