After reading through the benefits and characteristics of these doors, you’ll be more than ready to bring a custom chevron barn door into your home.

What is a Chevron Barn Door?

A chevron barn door is a sliding door featuring a distinctive geometric design called the chevron pattern. This pattern, which resembles an arrow or an inverted V, has been used in designs for centuries.

The pattern first appeared in ancient Greek pottery and textiles. It was a popular pattern in Europe, and was even used on military uniforms to display rank. Traditionally, the inverted V pattern is repeated to create a series of angled lines, forming a geometric design that captures the eye.

Another pattern that emerged around the same time and closely resembles chevron is the herringbone pattern. This pattern features similar angles, however, its design forms an asymmetrical zig-zag pattern. The herringbone pattern is made up of rectangles joined at 90-degree angles. Unlike the chevron pattern, which forms a sharp 'V,' herringbone doesn’t come to a point.

The difference between the two patterns is easy to spot with wooden flooring. In the chevron design, the ends of each wood plank are cut at an angle to fit together, forming an inverted V. This creates a series of continuous straight lines, making it easy to tell chevron apart from herringbone. Since these patterns are so similar and create striking geometric barn doors, we've included both designs in this list.

At Rustica, we strive to create unique door designs. With the chevron pattern, we took a fresh approach by combining traditional angled lines with modern geometric layouts. We expanded on the classic arrow shape to create something bold and attention-grabbing.

And that’s exactly what you’ll receive with a chevron barn door—a decorative barn door with a striking pattern. Its mix of traditional elegance and sleek, modern style makes the chevron design a popular choice for contemporary homes.

1. Peak Barn Door

The Peak Barn Door honors the traditional chevron pattern in a sleek and modern design. It features a series of angled lines forming upward-pointing arrows. Because the lines meet perfectly in the middle, there’s a straight line that runs vertically through the door’s center. Stiles and rails frame the central design, creating a finished look.

Our Peak Barn Door has several customization options, including the material it’s made with. You have the choice between poplar with an MDF panel or knotty alder wood. With the first option, the center chevron design is made with MDF, and the surrounding stiles and rails are made with poplar wood.

The Peak Barn Door would make a stunning interior door for a bedroom, bathroom, office, or closet. Its classic design coupled with our customization options makes this door a versatile style option. By finalizing design details, such as wood finish and hardware, this door could complement rustic, traditional, modern, minimalist, cottagecore, or farmhouse interior design styles.

2. Valley Barn Door

The Valley Barn Door closely resembles the Peak Barn Door. At first glance, the doors seem to be the same. However, the difference is that the Valley Barn Door has downward pointing angles (valleys) while the Peak Barn Door has upward pointing angles (peaks).

Besides the subtle design difference, the Valley Barn Door offers the same customization options as the Peak Barn Door. Our customization options include your preferred material or wood species, door width and height, and wood finish.

You can also select whether or not you would like to include a full-sized mirror on one side of the door. This would be something to consider for a master bathroom or a bedroom sliding door.

3. Alta Barn Door

The Alta Barn Door features the chevron pattern but with a slight twist: it uses a repeating pattern of inverted V's alternating with regular V's, arranged in a series of horizontal lines. Each line of peaks and valleys is equally separated by the smooth surface of the wood or MDF board.

The Alta Barn Door’s overall chevron pattern hints at historic artistry like you would see on ancient Greek pottery. As such, this door is perfect for rustic, traditional, eccentric, and urban-style homes. Place it where its unique and lovely design can be appreciated by all, such as a rustic-style kitchen, bathroom, living room, or bedroom

Customize this sliding barn door to fit your style. Choose the material (MDF board or knotty alder wood), pick the dimensions, and finish with your preferred paint or wood stain. Our wood finish options for the knotty alder include several stain colors, such as clear, dark walnut, and red mahogany.

4. Sunrise Barn Door

Are you looking for a stunning modern design for your interior sliding barn door? Look no further than the Sunrise Barn Door. This beautiful door has the classic chevron pattern with the angled lines pointing towards the door handle, creating a prominent geometric arrow shape.

In the bottom and top left corners, several angled lines meet the chevron arrow, forming 90-degree angles where the two meet. These lines create dynamic visual interest, perfect for modern homes looking to add functional art to their living spaces.

After going through the basic customization options, you’ll have the choice to complete the design by including barn door hardware. When you select “yes” to including Rustica hardware for your barn door, you’ll first be prompted to pick a barn door hardware system.

This is where you’ll choose a single, standard sliding barn door or a double barn door kit, such as a biparting barn door or a bypass barn door. Biparting double barn doors meet in the middle while a bypass barn door overlaps the other.

After picking your hardware system, you’ll choose a hanger (barn door wheel) style, metal finish color, track style, door guide, and more. For a modern Sunrise Barn Door, you’ll want to choose contemporary barn door hardware to complement the door’s sophisticated design.

5. Fraction Barn Door

The Fraction Barn Door perfectly represents the concept of “clean lines” in design. It features several thin lines forming different angles. Together, the lines create a subtle ‘X’ pattern in the center of the door, with angles pointing to the door's center from the top, bottom, and sides.

Place this charming chevron barn door in your modern farmhouse living room, kitchen, or bathroom where it can be the focal point of the space.

Select a hardware finish to complement the dynamic geometric pattern of the Fraction Barn Door. For example, if you choose a white glaze for your door, you can add a pop of color by choosing modern gold or brushed copper for your hardware finish.
