Home Improvement Resources - A Door For Every Room: Specialty Interior Doors Distinguish Homes

With the growing popularity of personalized home décor and design, homeowners are not only interested in entry door “curb appeal,” but are increasingly focusing on specialty interior door designs to distinguish their homes.

 

 Like a piece of furniture, interior doors help define a room’s look and serve as more than just a dividing point between spaces. Numerous options in decorative interior door designs allow homeowners to express their individual style -- no longer needing to settle for plain interior doors.

 

Choosing the best interior doors can enhance a home’s overall interior appearance and reflect the homeowner’s personality. Whether building a new home or renovating with interior door upgrades, there are a number of ways for homeowners to add a unique touch with doors to complement every room in the home.

 

Decorative glass inserts for interior doors are a popular way to bring in natural light and add privacy or interest to interior spaces. Options vary from elaborate, ornamental old world looks to simple glass designs that add visual interest, such as beveled or translucent textured glass. Seedy baroque, glue chip and reed glass provide privacy without sacrificing style or aesthetic appeal. Many interior door styles include the option of insulated glass for rooms that open to unheated spaces, combining energy-efficiency with beauty. 

Homeowners are adding a distinctive touch to rooms with specialty interior doors that also maintain a cohesive look throughout the home. Today’s interior door designs can help set rooms apart while incorporating the home’s overall interior style.

 

For example, interior decorative French designs from Simpson Door Company feature high-quality wood doors with several elegant glass patterns to match a broad range of looks. “Although we create unique wood doors for specific interior applications such as the media room or pantry, Simpson’s interior doors are designed to integrate a consistent architectural design throughout the entire home,” says Brad Loveless of Simpson Door Company. “Our specialty interior doors individualize each room, but also seamlessly transition between rooms for a unified look.” Interior doors with decorative French glass designs easily incorporate light and charm into a variety of interior spaces.

 

Interior door designs are expanding to include uncommon surfaces for an inspiring twist. Simpson Door Company also offers an interior door with a magnetic chalkboard panel for use in the kitchen, pantry or a child’s room. This family-friendly design allows children to post artwork or create original works of art directly on the door itself.   Busy parents can post grocery and to-do lists or use the door simply as a place to write reminders and notes.

For a truly one-of-a-kind interior look, many homeowners are installing custom interior doors.   Custom wood doors can be ordered in a variety of species, and are particularly suited to interior spaces that require unusual dimensions. Wood doors can be constructed to meet a wide variety of sizes, and can easily incorporate curves, arches, carvings and glass for further design flexibility.
