Pocket Doors

Pocket Doors

Pocket doors are clever little things that slide away into the wall instead of opening on hinges like a more conventional door. Pocket doors have been in use in homes for over a century, both to save space and to close off larger areas such as sitting rooms and dens.

The benefits of a pocket door in a smaller home are rather obvious. The average door can steal up to ten square feet of your living space just to accommodate the space it needs to open and close properly. Décor and furnishings have to be planned around this inconvenience and so the homeowner is limited as to what they can do in their own space.

Pocket doors are coming back in vogue in home design. These types of doors were very popular in homes constructed in the early nineteen hundreds as a way to save space. These doors slide into the wall instead of opening and closing taking up floor space.
