Client Overview:

A homeowner approached Hotian with a challenge: they wanted to create a more open and spacious feel in their small bedroom, which felt cramped due to the traditional swing door. They were looking for a solution that would maximize the usable space without compromising on privacy or aesthetics.

Challenges:

• The bedroom was small, and the swing door took up valuable floor space when opened, limiting furniture placement.
• The client desired a more open feel while maintaining the ability to close off the room for privacy.
• They wanted a solution that was both functional and visually appealing, fitting with the modern design of their home.

Solution:

After discussing various options, we recommended installing a custom sliding door system. Portas de correr were the perfect solution for this project due to their space-saving design and modern appeal. Here’s how we addressed the homeowner’s needs:

1. Space Optimization:
   • By eliminating the need for a door swing area, sliding doors freed up several square feet of floor space. This allowed the client to place furniture closer to the doorway without obstruction, significantly improving the room layout and functionality.
   • We chose a pocket sliding door that disappears into the wall when opened, completely freeing up the space that would otherwise be occupied by a traditional door.
2. Design & Aesthetics:
   • To enhance the room’s openness, we selected a sliding door with frosted glass panels. This allowed natural light to flow between rooms while maintaining privacy.
   • The sleek, minimalist design of the sliding door complemented the modern decor of the home, adding a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space.
3. Installation Process:
   • Our team worked closely with the client throughout the design process to ensure that the sliding door system met their specific needs.
   • The installation was completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to the household. We ensured that all components were carefully fitted, including custom tracks recessed into the wall for smooth operation.

Outcome:

The installation of sliding doors transformed this small bedroom into a more functional and inviting space:

• The homeowner gained valuable floor space that could now be used for additional furniture or storage.
• The room felt significantly larger and more open due to the seamless transitions created by the sliding door.
• The frosted glass panels allowed natural light to flow through, enhancing the overall ambiance while maintaining privacy.
