If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a timeless farmhouse, you’ll be amazed at how repurposed antique doors can infuse your home with that authentic charm. Even in newer homes, these pieces bring history, character, and warmth, creating a space that feels uniquely yours.
When we built our modern farmhouse, we wanted it to exude the authenticity of an old one. While I couldn’t renovate a historic farmhouse, incorporating vintage elements helped achieve the look. Of all the design choices, the antique doors and their intricate hardware from Mogul Interior made the most significant impact. These vintage doors are not just functionalāthey’re conversation starters. Visitors often ask, “What did the house look like originally?” That’s the ultimate compliment!
What started as a small idea turned into a collection of seven repurposed antique doors throughout our home. Each one tells a story, adding layers of personality to spaces like the pantry, office, and even closets.
Why Antique Doors?
- Authenticity:Ā Their weathered finishes and intricate carvings lend a timeless charm that modern replicas can’t replicate.
- Sustainability:Ā Repurposing doors is eco-friendly, reducing waste while preserving history.
- Versatility:Ā Antique doors work as sliding barn doors, room dividers, or even wall art.
How to Incorporate Antique Doors
- Use sliding barn doors to separate spaces with flair.
- Pair them with vintage hardware for added character.
- Highlight their details with neutral walls and simple decor.
Adding antique doors transformed our home into a modern farmhouse with soul. If you want a space that whispers stories of the past, start hunting for your own antique treasuresāyou won’t regret it!
