HGTV's Renovation Aloha Unveils A Showstopping Door Design You'll Want For Your Home
HGTV's "Renovation Aloha" showcases stunning home transformations completed by husband-and-wife renovation duo Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama in Oahu, Hawaii. Some of the eye-catching design elements featured in the series might inspire your personal decor approach. For example, a large folding accordion door installed as part of one episode is so gorgeous you may want it for your own home. The new door opens out into a balcony added to the renovated home.
Unlike a traditional glass door, an accordion door folds down compactly to one side of the door frame when you open it completely. This design choice is a great option for homeowners who want to be able to open an entrance up all the way. If you need to bring large furniture pieces in and out of the home through the door, this is a more convenient design than a traditional glass door that leaves you with limited space to do so. Not only is a glass accordion door super convenient, but it's also visually stunning. The design offers a more modern look than a traditional door and lets lots of light in. With all of these perks, you might find that an accordion design is the right sliding glass door style for your home.
A glass accordion door transformed the renovated living room
The glass accordion door was the perfect choice for the living room featured in the "Renovation Aloha" transformation shown above. As you can see, it opens up to reveal a large balcony with a beautiful view of the surrounding neighborhood and tropical greenery. Since the accordion door slides to the side to allow for as large of an opening as possible, it really brings the outdoors into the home beautifully. This is yet another benefit of installing this style of glass door.
There are a few things you should know if you're contemplating installing an accordion glass door in your own home. First, you can make use of one even if you don't have a balcony. You could install the door as part of your patio, living room, or sunroom instead. Second, keep in mind that they tend to be pricier than traditional glass doors. More specifically, the doors are priced at about $800 to $1,200 per linear square foot on average. Lastly, you have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to this style of door.

Regardless of which design you select, this stylish patio door plan is sure to enhance the look of your home.
