The phrase refers to the process of sourcing uniquely designed sliding doors, often inspired by traditional agricultural architecture, from providers located in one’s immediate geographical area. An example would be a homeowner seeking a local artisan to craft a set of interior sliding doors using reclaimed wood, incorporating specific dimensions and design elements to complement their existing dcor.
Locating these bespoke door solutions locally offers several advantages. It supports regional businesses and craftspeople, potentially reducing transportation costs and environmental impact. Historically, barn doors served a functional purpose on agricultural buildings; adapting them for residential or commercial use provides a blend of rustic charm and modern practicality. The increasing popularity of this style reflects a desire for unique, space-saving design elements that add character to a space.
