Are you looking to improve your design with barn doors? Read on to learn how you can achieve this stunning interior design detail with RoomSketcher!
Our barn doors work slightly differently from how you would Add Doors to Your Project with the RoomSketcher App. While normal doors are built into the walls, barn doors are placed on the side.
To add barn doors to your project, you’ll find them as a separate item in Furniture Mode. Combine them with a Wall Opening to create a beautiful visual effect for your design!
