A custom sliding door is a wonderful way to save space and add flair to any doorway in your home. You can choose styles as diverse as Japanese shoji screens or rustic barn doors, varied materials, and even automation systems that make opening and closing your doors effortless. Here are a few examples of sliding doors by CustomMade artisans designed for exterior entryways and interior spaces.
“Namaste” means, “I bow to you,” and is both a vocal greeting and a gesture in South Asia. As renowned yoga teacher Aadil Palkhivala explains, n“Namaste”epresents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us” and “is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another.” Designer Laura Birns of LauraBirnsDesign Eco-Furnishings, LLC, describes her “Namaste” sliding glass door as “a recognition of subtle Divinity.” The frame is made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified mahogany and cherry stained wenge with stainless steel hardware. The glass is tempered, textured, and colored. Laura has been named one of Innovative Home Magazine’s “Top Ten Green Gurus.” Contact her and have her create exciting and environmentally friendly custom doors for your home.

Japanese shoji screens, doors or room dividers traditionally made of paper over a wood frame, not only save space but also can add an exotic or crisp modern touch to your interior rooms. Michael Yates of Michael Yates Design has lived in Kyoto, Japan, and draws inspiration from “the serene aesthetic and unparalleled standards of craftsmanship inherent in Japanese homes and temples,” which he combines with his own design sensibilities and engineering background to create works such as this telescoping shoji door for the Devine master suite entry, made from alder wood and paper. Contact Michael and have him create a shoji sliding door for your home.
