Your bedroom is a sanctuary, a space you can call your own to relax and unwind, and it all starts with the door.

Many considerations come into play when choosing a bedroom door. You may have just moved into a new house with dated decor, or if your bedroom is small, your current bedroom door may take up too much floor space when open.

This blog offers top tips on choosing a new bedroom door to help transform your home. From space-saving considerations to trending door colours and creating uniformity across the home, choosing the ideal internal door for your bedroom has never been easier.

Considerations when choosing a bedroom door

When choosing a bedroom door, there are many things to consider alongside how the door looks. Some door styles work better than others, depending on the size of your room and the positioning of the door frame. Here are some of the main points to think about when deciding on a door:

Space

If your bedroom doesn't have much floor space, this can impact the type of door that will best suit the room. If you have wall space, sliding or pocket doors may be a better consideration than a typical hinged door, which takes up a lot of space when opened.

A pocket door is a great choice if you have limited wall space, as the door slides into the frame 'pocket' out of sight when open.

Ease of installation

If you have ample space, the perfect door may depend on its ease of installation. Hinged doors, attached to a door frame by hinges that swing open, are usually the most standard choice for a bedroom door. They are the easiest door type to install and come in plenty of options to suit your home's decor.

Outdoor space

If you're lucky enough to have a bedroom with access to outdoor space, such as a balcony, you need doors there, too. In this scenario, French doors are a popular choice. Usually installed as a pair, they feature large glass panels, perfect for letting in natural light and brightening your bedroom. You could even install a glazed door for your bedroom door entryway to let some of this natural light continue into your home.

Uniformity with other doors in the house

If you're looking for a new bedroom door, your main consideration may be whether it matches the other doors in your house, giving uniformity across rooms and floors. In this case, it might be that your current doors only require a lick of paint or new features, such as new handles, to give them a new lease of life.

Trends

Suppose you want to curate an interior design with its finger on the pulse of all things contemporary. In that case, you may choose a bedroom or internal doors that match current colour trends instead of simply a practical solution for your home.

Simple, clean internal doors, such as our white and grey ones, have been a firm favourite throughout 2024. Oak doors are also loved for their warm tone and versatility when paired with various shades.

Bedroom door types

Now that you've considered how a new bedroom door will suit your space let's break down some internal door types so you can choose the perfect one to suit your needs.

Sliding bedroom doors

Sliding doors are ideal for compact rooms. They slide open parallel to the wall, saving floor space without compromising access or airflow. Whether you prefer a contemporary or 1930s-inspired feel, a sliding door is the perfect space-saving solution.

Pocket bedroom doors

Similar to sliding doors, pocket doors save floor space, but instead of being mounted to the wall, they slide into the wall cavity. Pocket doors are not just a solution for the main bedroom door; they are also a great choice for wardrobe rooms or for separating en suites.

Hinged bedroom doors

As previously mentioned, hinged doors are generally the most popular choice for internal doors because they are easy to install and offer a wide range of options to suit various tastes and preferences.

Whether you're looking for period features or a door with chic glass panels like our internal glazed doors to add depth to your space, our standard doors collection offers everything you need with easy installation to help you find the bedroom doors of your dreams.

What is the most popular bedroom door?

While the door you choose for your bedroom will depend on your home's dimensions, the most popular internal door is generally a standard hinged door. These doors are easy to install, remove, and change, which is why they are found in most homes.

Popular bedroom door ideas

Now you know which options you can choose from, here are some of our favourite ideas for adding warmth and character to your home, starting with your bedroom door. From popular colours and styles to complement your decor, finding a bedroom door to suit your home has never been easier!

Period features

If your home has many period features, choosing a door that complements them is always sensible. A Victorian-style door perfectly complements a classic late 19th-century feel, whereas an Edwardian-style door adds a stylish finishing touch to the 1930s interior style.

Glazed doors

Internal glazed doors feature glass panels, which can help to enhance space and light within your property. Not only do they curate a clean, stylish and minimalist look, but they also help to give rooms an airy look so they appear brighter.

A bedroom door warrants privacy, but if you've got your heart set on glass panels, don't worry! Simply opt for frosted or obscure glass so the light can shine through, but not at the expense of your privacy.

Oak doors

Oak doors are a timeless classic that never goes out of style, giving your home a layer of luxury!

Their warm shade complements many colour schemes, whether paired with warm autumnal hues or a cool, calm colour scheme, making them ideal for those who prefer all their internal doors to match.

Oak doors are also a reliable choice, thanks to their durability. Easy to care for, treat with oak oil or varnish once every couple of years to retain your oak bedroom door's charm and keep it as good as the day you bought it!
