A pocket door to me, is one of the most underrated tricks of a well designed space. To say I love em is well, an understatement. I've installed them in most of my recent projects. It's an amazing solution when space is at a premium and you want to maximize the limited square footage you're working with, or if wish to just avoid having a door open awkwardly i.e. right smack into towel bar (bathroom) or into a cabinet (kitchen). They are also a great way to open up a connection to an adjoining space, just like that, two rooms have become one. Check out these amazing rooms and their equally amazing pocket doors.
No ugly duckling these doors, they are things of beauty in their own right.
Get the Look:
- You'll need to check that the wall next to your existing door has the same width or more i.e. it can accommodate having the door slide within.
- Do be sure to have a licensed electrician remove any existing outlets/switches and relocate them as needed.
- The pocket door frame for most doors (standard 30"w x 80"h) costs about $100 at Home Depot. The doors themselves range from about $50 to a few hundred depending on size, solid wood vs. hollow etc....
