Whether you don’t have a lot of space for a wide opening door or you just want something different, barn doors as bathroom doors are more and more popular.
They come in a range of different sizes, styles and materials, so you can create a bathroom that fits your design.
Some of the most loved barn door styles are rustic wood which is ideal for a farmhouse decor.
The warming wood is neutral, so it can also fit in with other home designs.
If your bathroom doesn’t have any windows that allow natural light in, then having frosted glass in your bathroom door is ideal to bring more light into the room.
You can get a range of different panel doors with frosted glass or full frosted glass doors.
These doors allow light to flood the room but also provide privacy at the same time.
Japanese doors, also called Shoji doors, are the latest bathroom door trend.
They are usually made from both paper and wood.
The main frame of these doors is wood, and the little panels are made from paper.
It’s worthwhile knowing that this isn’t your standard copier paper.
This paper has been designed to withstand moisture and as it is made from hard fiber rice, it is relatively durable. Depending on the quality, it can even withstand punctures.
This means that Shoji doors are a great choice for bathrooms because they provide plenty of privacy and they are even made from sustainable materials.
An additional benefit of these doors is that they have a beautifully Eastern look, so they are a true eye-catcher.
Storage is at a premium in most bathroom so creating additional storage space is always a plus, especially when you can hide it neatly behind the bathroom door.
Depending on your type of door and how much space you have behind the door, you can hang a door rack that allows you to store a range of bathroom things.
From washcloths and towels to cleaning supplies, door storage racks can also fit some baskets where you can keep all your things in.
Mirrors are often found in bedrooms to create more light but you can also use them in your bathroom, especially if you don’t have a lot of light fittings in the room.
Mirrored bathroom doors are ideal for smaller bathrooms as they will make your room so much bigger.
Additionally, this type of bathroom door also blends in very well with other bathroom decor.
Plus, you won’t need to hang up a mirror in your bathroom because you have plenty of mirrors in the door.
Doors don’t have to stand out like a sore thumb and they don’t have to be a feature of your home.
In fact, sometimes hiding a door can create a much more elegant wall finish.

Hidden doors can be installed almost anywhere in your home but they are especially useful for bookshelves, bathrooms and small storage rooms.
If you don’t want your bathroom door to be visible in your bedroom, then blend it in with your bedroom decor.

You can also use just small upgrades to make your bathroom door look more interesting and personal, such as with bathroom stickers or signs.
Hi, my name is Maisie Park and I have recently moved into the home I renovated with my husband. It took an entire year to get it just the way we wanted it, and I learned a thing or two along the way!
We started this project together with no prior experience in renovating houses or home improvements – I think the best I had was that I knew how to change a lightbulb.
Flash forward a year and here I am, creating a website to guide others through these challenges.
Please use my website as a source of inspiration for your own home – does your porch need a fresh lick of paint, by any chance? We all deserve to live in the house of our dreams, so what’s stopping you? Let’s get started!
