Picture your living and dining area divided by an elegant Victorian style double pocket sliding door. In places where a door that opens into or out of a room take up too much space, pocket interior doors are a interesting, elegant choice that recalls bygone years. Pocket doors slide into recessed 'pockets' fit into the wall on one or both sides of a doorway. They have been often used in turn-of-the-century housing, and are a major selling point in many old homes. When choosing interior doors, why not look to the beyond for a choice that brings the understated elegance of the beyond to your place?
The most important factor in choosing interior doors, though, is your preference. Shop around, find a look and a style that you like in a price range that suits your budget, and then go for it. See what a difference changing this kind of subtle design accent can make all the style through your place.
Here are a few data from experts on "choosing interior doors for your place:
Painted interior doors are well known as well as natural wood. Soft white works well with most decor, but black is becoming a well known choice because the deep color presents the doorway more 'presence' - a deeper and wider appearance.
And yet, the style of door that you come to a decision can make a subtle, definitive difference all the style through your place. I know that part of the reason that I'm attracted to old Victorian homes and triple-deckers is their beautiful hardwood doors in so many unusual styles. Most of today's new construction features bland, hollow-core interior doors with plain brass knobs - no character at all.
If you're choosing interior doors for a more brand new scheme, you'll find them in cherry, poplar, oak, hickory or walnut, among other woods. Many home builders are opting to use materials other than wood, though, and glass or metal doors are also well known. The style of the door should complement the style of your decor, experts agree, and also you'll find this kind of range of styles that choosing interior doors for your place may be nearly brain-boggling. The various standard styles include those with two to eight panels, raised or flat panels, and French door styles. Add to those cafe doors, bi-fold doors, bypass doors and pocket doors, and also you'll have a good choice of interior doors to determine from for your new home.
You don't have to stick with only one type of door all the style through your entire home. You can mix and match interior door styles or colors, just be yes to keep some elements the same. Use the same color, finish or easy styling to provide a consistency and flow.
