How to beautify a barn door?
I want a barn door between my bedroom and bathroom. But the ones I have found are so plain or rustic looking. I want something that looks classy or pretty. Even elegant. I like glass and mirrors

Maybe you could paint the door in a glossy white, and add beautiful nickel hardware.

Elegance and barn door seems to be an oxymoron. Have you considered having a sliding "pocket door" installed?
Hello Sherry,
Maybe go for a Sliding mirror or panelled door or maybe a Pocket Door. Best wishes.

Hi Sherry. I am subscribed to a You Tube channel called YoduvhEssentials. She created sliding doors that are absolute mirrors (from Wal Mart) and glam. Take a look at her channel, click on Videos when you get there. Good luck Sherry.
Sherry,
If you are seeking a more refined-looking hanging door, then barn doors are not the direction to go. I would suggest you to consider either suspended/hanging mirrored French doors instead. Here are some examples from Wayfair.
Keep in mind that sliding (bypass) closet doors can also be mounted on the outside of the doorway directly on to the walls.
You can glam it up by painting bright white and trim with silver. I would stay away from glass and mirrors because of fingerprints. You can use a traditional door but hang in the barn door method.

You could add gold hardware to dress it up
You can turn almost any premade door into a barn door, meaning if you see one with a glass or mirror insert, you can likely use it. Or seek out a slab door and dress it up as you wish.
I believe this may be the project you were referring to earlier.
