As the concept of an open kitchen came into existence, kitchens became wider and more spacious to give a grander look. These kitchens sometimes need to be separated from the rest of the interior. That’s when kitchen door designs come in handy.
We have put together a few options of kitchen doors for you to choose from, so let’s get started.
Why Do Most Kitchens in India Don’t Have a Door?
Doors in kitchens were as common as those in a bedroom but with the arrival of new kitchen designs, they disappeared from the picture. Doors also ensure your food stays safe from strays and any pests that could enter the kitchen. This has been a very common sight in smaller towns where houses are still built using older techniques and structural ideas in contrast with what big city modular kitchens showcase.
The main attribute of an open kitchen is to allow fresh air circulation. Another reason for not having doors is because of the flat system, offering minimum space for the family. In houses like villas and bungalows, it is not uncommon to install extra elements as there are no constraints.

A barn door is an uncommon addition to the interior of your home but it’s the right choice if you are up for always trying out new things. Barn doors are comparably bigger both in length and breadth to keep the door frame covered. They also need an additional support system like bottom tracks to prevent them from falling off the rack or swinging. Barn doors come in all varieties of wood and your existing doors can even be utilised to create them if you are planning on saving some extra.
A thing to remember is to swiftly pull the doors because they are not meant to shut tightly.
