Pocket Doors
In tight-quarters where room is limited for a door to open and close—think, tiny bathrooms—consider installing a pocket door. This old-house feature, which works by sliding into a hidden wall compartment, saves precious swing space giving you room to move about.
Barn Doors
Country practicality meets city chic with a space-saving barn door on rollers. The contrasting white walls and wrought-iron hardware showcase this clean, modern take on a farm door. It’s similar to a pocket door, but rather than sliding into the wall it slides over it—thus, requiring a bit less work for installation. You get that farmhouse-style flair and function!
Glass Bifold Doors
Forget about those bi-fold doors hiding the furnace in your parents’ basement. Today’s interior bi-folds come in a variety of styles and colors, and can be a useful alternative in spaces where standard doors just won’t work. Available on Wayfair; $409.99.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors work well in spaces where there isn’t enough swing space in either direction for a standard door. These cleverly solve the problem of a door that swings too widely into (or out of) a room by splitting the door swing clearance between the spaces they separate. This design incorporates a glass sidelight to heighten the indoor/outdoor atmosphere of the room.

Shoji Doors
When is a door not a door? When it is a sliding wall. Traditional Japanese homes use shoji doors as a beautiful space-saving feature that provides privacy and room division. Made of washi paper, the traditional version of the door also allows adjoining rooms to become one large space when needed.
Dutch Doors
Need a window and a door in a tight space? A Dutch door with a window may be your answer. These useful doors are split horizontally, giving you the option of swinging open the top to let in fresh air or a warm spring breeze.
Garage Door
Overhead garage doors are the ultimate space-savers; they open and close without cutting into living space and stow efficiently along the ceiling.
French Accordion Doors
Long gone are the days of tacky wood-vinyl accordion doors. While you can still find versions of those cheap and easy dividers, the accordion door has received a style upgrade. Here, these doors blend the functional accordion design with the elegance of French doors. The glass panes let light shine through, and the door takes up little space when open.
