Bedroom barn door advise please!

11 years ago

My husband and I are building a new home, he suggested a barn door to our master bedroom. We are emptynesters but I am concerned about privacy when we have family stay. It is a smallish house (1200 sf) and our bedroom is right off the kitchen. Any suggestions on either side are helpful at this point.

our master bedroom used to have an opening way up at the cathedral ceiling that connected with the great room. i hated it, there was total sound transmission from one side to the other. i'd feel that same way about a barn door as they have to be mounted away from the molding in order to roll open and closed.
