What to Consider When Choosing Interior Doors
Style
You can get as ornate or simple as you want here. You can even choose different doors for different areas of your home in order to best complement the decor. Mixing and matching is a great way to add character, although you’ll want to keep some elements the same so that there’s a sense of flow throughout the house, says Houzz. A major thing to consider when choosing style is the overall size and feel of each room. Don’t go too big on doors for a small room; likewise, large rooms deserve a grand entrance.

Types
- Sliding: Usually constructed of wood, glass or even mirrors, sliding doors are perfect for closets because they take up minimal extra space.
- Pocket: These slide right into the wall instead of alongside it, as sliding doors do. These are even better at saving space.
- Folding: Most common are bi-fold doors, which fold in on either side. They’re ideal for closets, laundry rooms, and pantries because they can accent small spaces.
- Panel: These are what you’ll see most often in typical American homes, made up of square panels crafted in wood.
- French: Featuring transparent panels of glass, these let in a lot of natural light.
- Dutch: One half opens on top, while the other on bottom stays closed, or vice versa.
- Blind: These are “secret doors” that blend in with the wall thanks to no visible handles, hinges or trim.
