This Stunning Sliding Arched Closet Door Is The Perfect Inspo For Your Next Upgrade

Sometimes trends go out of style before you're ready for them to do so. That's okay — you don't have to follow the cyclical nature of interior fashion. Instead, you can take some of the components that make up that trend and give them a fresh new twist. Take the farmhouse aesthetic, for example, which has dominated home design for years. There are various tips to make farmhouse decor timeless so it never goes out of style, one of which is to utilize barn doors featuring unique arched details, as demonstrated on TikTok by meghanrussell_.

The actual construction of the closet door isn't demonstrated in this video, but what is clear is the uplifting effect a sliding arched closet door can have on sometimes heavy-feeling features, simply by adding an arched window. If you're looking to revive the barn doors you already have, this sliding arched closet door is great inspiration. That said, this look isn't just for the bedroom. You can use it to elevate a pantry, a home office, or a laundry room. After all, barn doors may go in and out of style, but their functionality and space-saving credentials are timeless.

First of all, it's worth knowing exactly how to build a sliding barn door according to an expert. Once you know what that build entails, you'll have a better understanding of whether you possess the DIY skills necessary for the project. Another option is starting with a premade door. In that case, you'll want to know how to DIY a stunning barn door using the door you already have. Repurposing an existing door is a fantastic way to save on costs while adding character to your home.

The construction required for this DIY is advanced, however. If it's too advanced, you can achieve a similar look by sourcing a sliding barn door and the necessary hardware from a homeware store. For your door track, VEVOR offers an all-in-one and simple-to-install package with every essential piece of hardware. The kit is available at Lowe's for less than $70.

If you find it difficult to source a premade door that features that specific chic arched glass detail, simply track down a solid foundation to use as an alternative. You can pick up "arch-top" slab doors online with unfinished solid core pine options starting at around $300 to $400. By using a prearched solid door as your starting point, you can cut out panels using a jigsaw to make room for your glass. This approach allows you to achieve the expensive, custom look seen in meghanrussell_'s video without having to pay for a boutique glass door.
