2. Half X Barn Door
The Half X Barn Door features a classic country rustic look with a bit of Dutch flair thrown in. Dutch-style doors have two parts: a top, and a bottom. Both parts can be closed at the same time, or the top portion can be opened to let in fresh air. While the Half X Barn Door isn’t a full Dutch door, the style is reminiscent of the two-part Dutch style.The top portion of the door features a field of vertical wood slats. The middle of this beautiful barn door features a horizontal overlay which contributes to the feeling of a split-style door.

Decorative barn doors in the house pair exceptionally well with interior designs that feature a rustic, vintage, or shabby chic style. Depending on your customization preferences, you can make this door appear as if it came straight from an old barn, or style it to look fresh and new.
The wood species you choose for this door will significantly play into the look and feel of the room you plan to place it in. Poplar wood is often painted so that the door matches or accents a specific interior color in the home. Walnut, on the other hand, is typically stained or clear coated to show off the beautiful nature of the rich, dark wood.

You can be incredibly creative when it comes to customizing this door. The biggest question to ask yourself is what you’re looking to accomplish.

For a bold, colorful pop, we’d recommend choosing poplar wood and having it painted a solid color. If you want the wood to shine through, then go with alder and choose a stain to highlight the grain. Distressed texture finishes can add a bit of shabby chic flair to the door.
