The Stunning Interior Doors Joanna Gaines Uses To Make A Statement & Save Space

When two rooms are connected together in a home with an open entryway, they can often lack a sense of privacy. You could install a door; however, it may take up space when you have to swing it open, which can affect the layout of your furniture. So, what would be the best solution? For co-host of "Fixer Upper," Joanna Gaines, the solution is quite simple: stylish barn doors. With their smooth slide-to-open system, the doors remain parallel to the wall, adding a sense of privacy while also keeping both spaces open.

Gaines decided to introduce this design in a project where she and her husband, Chip Gaines, refurbished an old barn house into a stylish home. So, not only do the sliding doors solve an inconvenience, but they all stayed true to the home's original design. The two spaces they separated with barn doors were a small office and a sitting area, and they beautifully complemented their modern designs with their black color and brass hardware.

In order to get this look for your home, whether you're dividing up a sitting room and an office or a dining room and a playroom, you have to choose a design that will fit your aesthetic. The style of barn doors Joanna Gaines chose appears to be modern with a bit of rustic charm, as they're designed with straight, sleek pieces of wood, for a nice, clean look. Something we believe to be similar is The Rakesh Door from Rustic Luxe Designs, starting at $1,000 (depending on the customizations you'd like to make). It has the same vertical design, except the wood is a bit more dimensional, creating a sense of texture and interest. The company allows you to choose whatever Benjamin Moore paint color you'd like to use, and to get Gaines' look, we suggest using Midnight Oil.

If you'd like to paint it yourself, you can also use the color Gaines used, which was Blackboard from Magnolia. Of course, there are hundreds of designs to choose from, including the Glass Mirrored Barn Door from Wayfair for $330. Not only will it help free up space in your home, but the mirror will reflect light and make the rooms feel bigger.
