This isn’t the first time we’ve installed pocket doors. It’s not the last, as it solves many design problems. After deviating from my original plan of procuring and researching some antique French doors, I realized that pocket doors could add just as much charm.

Why add a pocket door
The decision to add built-ins to the study and narrow the case opening went hand in hand. I had to narrow it all down to make room for the shelves on either side of the opening. And of course this is a space where Chris and I work a lot so I wanted to add a door why pocket doors there are many reasons to add a pocket his door and here are a few I’d like to introduce_______
- Pocket doors don’t break the flow of open floor plansOur first floor floor plan runs from room to room with cased openings, so we didn’t want to clutter it up by adding a swing door, especially right by the front door. bottom.
- Pocket doors maximize spaceSmall rooms and narrow hallways, especially with multiple doors, can be a nightmare for swing doors. It doesn’t make sense for the door to swing into the den with the built-ins right there. Also, I really didn’t want them to swing out to the entry as it could interfere with the beautiful grand staircase and front door.Pocket doors seem to have solved the problem!
- aesthetics: Pocket doors are a simple way to organize the look and feel of your home. Minimal, modern and fresh, this photo speaks for itself.
