Pocket Doors
You can find original pocket doors in many Craftsman and Victorian homes. These built-in features come in handy for separating two adjoining rooms when you need privacy or quiet. When not in use, the doors slide into the walls, leaving a wide (usually at least double-width) opening.

Since they’re made from solid wood, pocket doors are effective at blocking sound — perfect if you want to entertain without waking the little ones.

If you are renovating or working on a new build, consider adding pocket doors to a room or two. Doors with glass panels, like the ones shown here, are a good choice if you want to let light through to the rest of the house even with the doors shut.

Shoji Room Dividers
A common feature in traditional Japanese architecture, shoji doors are used to conserve space in homes with small footprints. The doors are made from washi paper on a wood frame, and slide along tracks. Open them all to create one big space, and slide them shut as needed to carve out smaller rooms.

Sliding Doors
A sliding door gets put to work in this small space to create a bedroom when needed — and slides away during the day. Paired with a Murphy bed that folds into the wall, it makes this studio feel far larger than its footprint.

Sliding doors are just as useful in a large, open-plan space as they are in a small one. Here large sliding doors can be open or shut to section off private areas from public ones.

Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are a good choice when you want to divide a space while maximizing light. The large wood-framed sliding glass doors in this space can slide shut to hide the kitchen after dinner — a nice compromise if you love an open kitchen but don’t want to have your guests staring at dirty dishes after dinner.
