Frontier Barn Doors

September 18, 2025

Modernly Rustic

Barn doors have come a long way from their rural roots. Today, they’re celebrated for their ability to marry form and function, offering a striking design feature that adds both character and utility to a modern home. The Frontier Barn Doors by Hume Doors & Timber are a perfect example. They present a versatile balance of modern elegance and rustic charm; with clean lines and customizable finishes, the Frontier range works beautifully in everything from loungerooms and bedrooms to wardrobes or home offices.

What makes these doors especially appealing is their adaptability. While the door panel comes ready, the track and fittings are sold separately, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose hardware that matches their décor or spatial layout. For those seeking to personalise their interiors with style, it’s a smart way to ensure coherence across colour, material, and finish.

If you’re in North Queensland and want to see and feel one of these in person, Ingham Mitre10 is your go-to. They stock Hume Doors ranges, so you can explore the Frontier Barn Doors up close; admire the various styles, see how the panels could fit in your space, and imagine the sliding track in action. The staff there can help you order the door panel, recommend the compatible hardware, and give you guidance on measuring and installation.

Whether you're renovating a room, converting a space, or simply wanting to freshen your décor, the Frontier Barn Doors offer both style and substance, and getting started is as easy as stopping by Ingham Mitre10 at 100 Herbert Street.

Pops of colour and sleek design make these doors perfect for any home. Image supplied
