It’s one of the questions we get asked the most by our customers – what internal door will best suit my space? When you have a hybrid or transitional style of property, it can be tricky to decide between contemporary and traditional models, and you’re often left feeling like you need to pick a side and run with it. But what if there was a way you could have the best of both worlds?
At Savoy Timber, we’ve been helping customers upgrade their homes for over 70 years now, and in that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about choosing the right door. Shaker-style interior doors are one of our most popular options, and are known for perfectly balancing both modern and traditional design features to create a stylish, elegant addition to any home. Let’s explore the benefits of shaker internal doors and uncover exactly what it is that makes them such a versatile option.
You may be wondering – what is a shaker-style interior door? Honestly, it’s a fair question. While the name might be unfamiliar, it’s likely you’ve seen one before, as they’re actually one of the UK’s most popular kinds of internal doors. They’re recognisable by their flat panels, typically featuring either a single central panel or several smaller panels.
Shaker-style internal doors effortlessly combine the old and the new. Their clean lines and minimalistic, geometric shapes are modern staples, while their recessed panels are a hallmark of more traditional styles. The secret of the shaker’s timeless appeal is its simplicity. True to the philosophy of the 18th century community that gave them their name, they prioritise understated, functional designs – and it’s this that makes them perfect for traditional, modern or transitional spaces. Their timeless look and understated style mean that they’re essentially a versatile blank canvas, and can be used to complement a number of chosen aesthetics.
If you’re looking to add the final touch to your traditional property, our shaker-style internal doors could be just the thing. For a classic, rustic look, we recommend choosing something like the LPD Internal Oak Shaker 4 Panel Door, making the most of its natural oak grain and warm, cosy oak shade. We also offer primed shaker doors, ready for a final coat of paint. If you want to add a splash of colour to enhance your traditional space, consider classic neutrals or heritage shades to suit your home’s unique style. For example, if you have a Georgian property, choose earthy tones, greens and soft pastel shades, and complete the traditional look with a vintage-looking knob.
As we mentioned earlier, the beauty of the shaker-style interior door is that you can easily put your stamp on it to make it complement your home. For more modern spaces, we recommend adding contemporary hardware like chrome lever-style handles, reflecting the door’s simple, clean lines and producing a sleek, minimalist look. In terms of colour, you can’t go wrong with bold, sophisticated blacks, minimalist whites and crisp greys.
With all that said, if you’re tempted to choose a shaker internal door for your home, we’re here to help.
