Internal Door style change

2 years ago

Hello,

I know nothing about design, please could you give me some advice?

I live in a house built in 1877; the living room door is a 4-panel Victorian door (like this https://www.leaderdoors.co.uk/jb-kind-internal-rustic-oak-fully-finished-4-panel-4p-door-ro4p-p50741) with a large square rim lock and black round doorknob, the house was renovated in the 1970s and another style door was installed throughout the house which has been thrown away as they were horrible.

Further to that, I've just built a brand new double story modern extension which attaches onto the main house so it's become a bigger house, open plan kitchen with bifold doors at the back of the house.

Do I keep in style with the Victorian 4 panel look and replace all internal doors with that style or maybe go for an updated door style maybe (https://www.leaderdoors.co.uk/liberty-doors-internal-oak-fully-finished-dordogne-door-howpfodor-p106417)

Also, My doors are currently White with White trim around the door and skirting, would Oak style doors look ok?

TIA

You can’t beat original period doors.

Not completely era appropriate

but a little more modern than the original Victorian doors.

I think they will look fantastic and a much cheaper option than crittall trawl through some of these for ideas (there are some internal ones!) http://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/query/Black-french-doors

Thanks for all comments. I like PWJ architects idea, but think our space would not do that door justice. I love the bi-fold acoustic fabric panel and will investigate that further. I do want to replace the door with something as an add on porch, no matter how well insulated, will always allow a cold or hot bank of air coming into the hall.

Hi Claudia, we have a number of crittal door suppliers - Bespoke Glazing, Cotsworld Casement and www.pdacklandmetalwindows.co.uk are all brilliant. Another option which we did recently fora client which looked amazing was they bought some old metal doors off eBay from a hospital and then scrubbed them down and repainted them. They looked great and cost about £650. The trick is don't hold out for crittal as that's just the brand type in metal/steel- windows/doors as they are very similar and much more cost efficient.

Personally I would stick with the Victorian 4 panel style. Just be consistent through the r house whichever you go for.
Whether they are wood or white will depend on your preference. It looks like you are thinking wood, so bear in mind your flooring and make sure they don’t clash. You probably need to spend more to get a good finish if wood also.

Four panel doors and definitely painted not oak.
