How do you choose the perfect room door for any room?

Room doors - choosing the perfect door for your interior

Room doors are one of the key elements of any flat or house. It is not only a practical solution, but also an important aesthetic aspect. A well-chosen room door can influence the comfort, acoustics and appearance of a room. In this article, you will find out which doors will work best in different interiors and what factors you should consider when choosing them.

Internal doors - the key to functionality

Internal doors fulfil many functions in our home. They separate rooms, provide privacy and help to keep things warm and quiet. The choice of interior doors should be well thought out so that they match the interior design and suit our needs.

Which bathroom doors should we choose?

Bathroom doors need to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. When choosing the right model, it is worth paying attention to several key aspects. First of all, bathroom doors should be equipped with a ventilation system that allows air to flow freely. The most common solutions are ventilation sleeves or ventilation undercuts, which allow adequate circulation. In most cases, customers choose doors with milky glass to increase intimacy and comfort.

If we care about combining aesthetics with functionality, an excellent choice is a room door for the toilet or bathroom made of moisture-resistant materials. This avoids problems with deformation or damage to the door surface due to steam. Doors with milky glass are popular, providing privacy while allowing subtle light to penetrate the interior. An excellent solution would be MDF doors such as MODO, VERI, EGRO or ARCO.

Bathroom doors can also be enhanced with additional features, such as bathroom locks or ergonomically shaped handles, which increase comfort. In the case of smaller rooms, it is worth considering single-leaf doors in the width of ‘60’ - a classic solution that will work in any arrangement.

The finish of the bathroom door is also important. Models with a smooth surface are easy to clean and maintain, which is particularly important in rooms with high humidity. Bathroom doors can be laminated for extra protection against moisture, or finished in an elegant veneer to give the interior a more natural look.

When it comes to lavatory room doors, it is also worth considering their colour and style. Contemporary design trends favour doors in shades of white, grey or natural wood, which blend in perfectly with most bathroom interiors. It is important that the finish of the door harmonises with the rest of the room, creating a consistent and aesthetically pleasing effect. Painted doors, thanks to their wide range of colours, allow you to match any colour from the RAL or NCS palette.

In summary, choosing the right bathroom door requires consideration of both functionality and aesthetics. Whether you decide on a room door for the toilet, a single-leaf door or a model with an additional finish, the key is to match it to the needs of the household and the characteristics of the room.

What types of doors are there?

There are many types of doors available on the market, including:

• Rebated doors - the traditional solution with a visible door leaf edge.
• Flushless doors - a modern door with a concealed frame, where the surface of the door leaf and frame form a single surface.
• Sliding doors - ideal for small rooms where every metre is at a premium.
• Folding doors or folding doors - space-saving.
• Bi-fold or single leaf doors - an elegant solution for large interiors.
• Glazed doors or glass doors - illuminate the room and optically enlarge it.

Standard door dimensions

Standard internal door dimensions are usually 70, 80, 90 or 100 cm wide and 200 cm high. A wide range of doorframes allows you to fit perfectly into your mounting holes and wall thickness. Thanks to its design, an adjustable frame can accommodate any wall thickness. If the walls are thin, the classic fixed frame, which is the most frequently used solution, is the best choice. As an option, you can also order doors shorter by 5 cm or room doors for rooms with recuperative ventilation.

Interior door colours

Door colours have a major impact on the appearance of a room. Popular options are:

• Doors in oak shade
• Doors in a grey shade
• Doors in a shade of white
• Black-accented door
• Doors in the shade of light walnut

Door leaf quality

The quality of the door leaf is crucial for the durability and appearance of the door. It is advisable to choose lacquered doors, veneer doors or laminated doors, which provide high resistance to damage.

Types of internal doors

Internal doors are available in a variety of variants, allowing them to be perfectly matched to the characteristics of the interior. Choosing the right door depends on the function of the room and aesthetic preferences. Room doors for an office, for example, need to combine practicality with an elegant appearance to promote concentration and fit in with the formal nature of the space. Models with a minimalist finish can be an excellent choice, providing acoustic insulation for quiet working.

Living room doors, on the other hand, should emphasise the representative nature of the room. Glazed doors or models with decorative details are ideal for this role. They allow more light into the interior, making the space feel more welcoming and open. The variety of styles and materials allows you to choose a door that perfectly matches your living room design - from classic to modern.

Living room doors are often a compromise between aesthetics and functionality. They need to be robust and durable to cope with everyday use while remaining a decorative element of the interior. It is worth looking at interior doors available in a range of colours and finishes to suit individual preferences and the style of the flat.

The corridor, which often acts as a link between rooms, should not be forgotten either. Room doors for the corridor should be consistent with the rest of the interior, creating a harmonious whole. Models made of durable materials that are resistant to damage and easy to clean are particularly recommended. For larger spaces, you can opt for glazed doors, which add lightness and optically enlarge the corridor.

Fitting internal doors

The fitting of internal doors is a key stage of interior decoration, which affects both the aesthetics of the room and its functionality. This process requires precision and proper preparation. To begin with, the door opening must be carefully measured and the walls checked for proper alignment. Next, the door frame is installed, which must be firmly seated and levelled to ensure that the door operates correctly. We recommend using authorised installation teams available on our dedicated Installation Groups tab

Room doors - what to choose?

Room doors should blend in harmoniously with the room design. For the living room, glazed doors or modern doors with milky glass are often chosen, while for the bedroom, solid doors are ideal for maximum privacy.

Choosing a room door

When choosing a room door, it is worth paying attention to the material, colour and style. Wooden doors add warmth to the interior, while glass doors add a modern touch.

What interior doors are fashionable?

At present, the most popular choice for customers are doors in a grey shade and classic white painted doors. Veneer doors are an elegant and natural solution that is distinguished by its durability and unique appearance that emphasises the structure of the wood.

The combination of veneer and oak shade is a guarantee of a stylish design, which harmoniously fits into a variety of arrangements.

Which door to choose?

When choosing a door, consider the material, style, colour and functionality. A room door for a large house can be more elegant, while a room door for a flat should be practical.
