Pocket Doors for Small Spaces

Solid Wood Flooring

Pocket doors are the perfect solution for small-space rooms. Since they don't open into any room, they don't need any clearance to open and close. A single pocket door with glass panels allows a laundry room and kitchen to share light while creating separation to preserve cleanliness and organization.

  • Take our quiz to find the perfect flooring material for your home.

Frosted-glass Pantry Doors

Pantry

The see-through quality of frosted glass adds dimension to this sliding pantry door. But the frosted glass also obscures pantry contents, so the pantry doesn't have to be kept too tidy. Sleek, sliding doors create a sense of drama in a room and also serve a practical function: when one is opened, it doesn't interrupt traffic flow.

Hidden Pantry Doors

100023649.jpg

These dining room doors open up to a butler's pantry. But when they're closed, the tall double doors blend right in with the walls of the dining room. This visual trick essentially hides the doors, allowing them to integrate into the surroundings.

Industrial-Inspired Sliding Door

Industrial-Inspired Sliding Door

A custom-made glass-and-steel door is the perfect portal for this contemporary home. Hung on barn tracking, the sliding-glass door becomes a decorative element on the wall when open. When closed, it offers privacy from the adjoining room while still allowing light to stream in. And because barn-track doors don't swing open like a regular door, they're great space savers.

Chic Built-In Doors

Chic Built-In Doors

Interior doors create an illusion of space beyond, even when they just open up to a china cabinet. Doors like these are the perfect way to conceal storage and to trick guests into thinking a space is larger.

Ribbed-Glass Door

Ribbed-Glass Door

A ribbed-glass pane adds texture to a wooden pocket door frame. The horizontal pattern in the glass allows light to pass, while the view from both sides is distorted. Although this interior door leads to a pantry, the door gives the illusion of a bigger space beyond.

Pivoting Glass Door

100160392.jpg

This modern door seems to almost float in place. The pivoting door is made of sandblasted glass and is designed to shut flush to the wall, without a jamb, framing, or molding. Sleek, efficient and modern, a jambless interior door adds to the uninterrupted flow in this contemporary home.
