Even with the popularity of open plan living, there is a desire to keep certain spaces in the home private. A door allows us to shut out noise, light and other distractions and escape into a cosy sanctuary. What’s more, if we’re honest we’ve all needed to shut a cupboard door before visitors arrive. It’s the only way to hide the clutter! Being able to isolate one room also allows us to be efficient with heating; just keeping one room warm is far more cost effective for many homeowners.
Doors to Optimise Space and Light
Whilst completely removing a door might be the ideal way to create a light, open interior, this isn’t always practical. Including glass panels in custom made doors could offer a viable solution if light is the issue. If a standard door imposes too far into the room, there are a number of alternatives including:
A vertical split door
A bi-fold door
A sliding door
It may be the case that replacing external doors, with bi-folding doors or double doors could dramatically increase the volume of light that entered the space.
Quirky Doors
Every now and then, we get a request for an unusual custom made door. A great example was the hidden door. Designed to look exactly like a bookcase on one side, most visitors would never know that there was an entrance to another room. Would you be intrigued by a large door with a smaller child’s door cut out of it, or stylised carving to give your door added character?
