Creating a house that quickly becomes a home you will never want to leave is what nesting and decorating are all about. We all want to be able to close the door, put our feet up, and relax in the evening. The problem is that there are so many different options when it comes to your interiors that it can be hard to know what to do.
Luckily for you, we’ve put together a list of the best internal door options for you right now. It’s a simple way to introduce yourself to half a dozen or more options in a couple of minutes, all so you can set the tone for the kind of refresh your home is sure to thank you for.
Double doors open things up
Double doors that are hard wearing and crafted from good quality oak allow you to open up two adjoining rooms in style. The beauty of this is that it makes it really easy to connect the living room and dining room in a way that is also highly versatile. You can have the rooms open to one another during the afternoon before closing off the dining room in the evening to make the lounge nice and cosy.
Glazed doors are highly durable
Good quality glazing and durable oak combine to create great options for anyone looking to brighten up the downstairs hallway. If you go to a reputable manufacturer that uses quality materials and excellent craftsmanship, you’ll find you only pay once. This is in contrast to buying lower-grade composite doors that will need replacing within a few years to smarten things up again.
Panelled doors give you options
One of the great things about panelled doors is that they come in so many different varieties that you’re sure to find what you’re looking for with little effort. Whether it’s a modern single-panel design or a more ornate multi-panel design with intricate edging, the investment is always worth it. Buy one that’s made from solid oak and it won’t warp or swell either, allowing you to make your initial investment go so much further.
Bifold doors need minimal maintenance
The use of premium quality solid wood combined with durable hinges ensures that the new bifold doors you buy will stand up to the rigours of family life. All you will need is the occasional drop of oil in the hinges every couple of years to get a smooth and silent range of motion. Ideal when you want to virtually eliminate maintenance costs by opting for a superior type of door.
Barn doors add character
A touch of country charm never hurt anyone, least of all homeowners who choose to add a matching set of barn doors to their home. This rustic-meets-country style is all about making you feel warm and cosy so that you can set the tone for a truly homely space. Opt for a barn door crafted with care from quality oak, for example, and it will last for decades with the right care. A quick wipe-down with a cloth every few months is all it really takes here.
French oak doors open things up
Probably our favourite of all the internal doors we’re going to introduce you to today are French doors. They’re durable, easy for someone with minimal DIY experience to fit and come in a range of different styles. The quality of the glazing will be a large factor in the overall value of the doors. Just because a door is the cheapest on the market doesn’t mean it also offers value — you may end up replacing it much sooner than you would like. Taking a moment to find a reputable supplier will make all the difference when you want to treat your home to a special finishing touch.
Solid oak doors never fail
For those times when you want to add something so durable that it becomes timeless, solid oak is always the way to go. The strength of the wood comes from the nature of the grain, and it’s the aesthetics of how the grain flows across the surface of the door that gives it so much character. Even though you may end up paying slightly more for a quality solid oak door than you would a cheap composite imitation, the value always lies with the solid oak option.
Now that you’ve heard what we have to say, which style and design are you thinking of adding to your home?
