Sliding doors to create more space at home

Sliding doors are gaining more and more prominence in the quest to maximize space at home.

These doors, with their operating system that allows them to slide parallel to the wall, offer multiple advantages in optimizing space in the home.

It is easy to see how these doors take up less space compared to conventional ones. However, there are other advantages derived from the different ways of installation. That is why, at Vichome, we will present you with some innovative ideas to make the most of this latest generation door system.

Sliding doors to maximize space at home: main advantages

When it comes to sliding doors to maximize space at home, space saving is the main advantage, and the most relevant when choosing this type of system.

In small rooms, a conventional door can bump into furniture, making it uncomfortable. However, with a sliding door system, these inconveniences can be avoided.

The same applies to small bathrooms, where comfort is often sacrificed for a less than optimal layout due to conventional doors. With sliding doors, this inconvenience disappears, allowing for an unrestricted choice of furniture and creating more space. In addition, the need for door guides is eliminated.

On the other hand, sliding doors also make it easier to divide and unify spaces in a more natural way than conventional doors. Many designers use them to divide rooms decoratively and achieve a sense of spaciousness when the doors are opened.

By considering the door material, you can make the most of its potential. For example, by installing glass doors, you can achieve room separation without sacrificing the entry of natural light.

Creative ideas to maximize space at home with sliding doors:

Below we will share some creative ideas to make the most of the potential of sliding doors, even in unconventional but interesting ways.

One door for three spaces

This idea involves using a guide and board to divide three spaces, such as a bedroom with a bathroom and a dressing room. Shared entrances allow one to be closed while keeping another open, alternating them as needed.

Get light even when closed

For spaces that do not receive direct light, sliding doors with glass panels can be used that allow light to pass through even when they are closed. If privacy is desired, opaque glass panels can be used.

Doors that blend into the walls

Sliding doors can be perfectly integrated with the walls of the room, especially if you choose panels that match the existing decoration.

Almost invisible pocket doors

For a more discreet appearance, recessed guides can be used that remain hidden, achieving visual harmony between the wall and the door.

Solutions for small spaces

Even in very small spaces such as bathrooms or dressing rooms, sliding doors can be the ideal solution thanks to their versatility and the possibility of being made to measure.
