Why made-to-measure internal bifold doors are the best space-saving option

LPD Internal Bifold White Primed Mexicano Door

At Savoy Timber, we’ve been helping our customers to transform their homes for over 70 years now, and we’ve seen firsthand just how tricky enhancing a smaller space can be. When every last inch matters, it’s easy to take a wrong turn and create an impractical layout or a cramped, claustrophobic feel, which is why it’s so important to carefully consider all decorative choices. With that in mind, it might surprise you to learn just how much room bifold internal doors can actually save – so could they be a good option for your home? Let’s take a look. 

A safe-spacing option for smaller rooms

Sometimes called concertina doors, bifolding doors are a simple but clever way of transforming smaller rooms without sacrificing valuable floor space. Unlike traditional doors that require clearance to swing open, bifold models are designed to smoothly fold away to the side, making them a perfect choice for more compact areas like hallways or en-suite bathrooms. Combining practicality, versatility and style, they’re easily one of the most popular kinds of doors when it comes to saving space.

Making compact rooms feel bigger

If you’re working with a smaller space, but still want to achieve an airy, open-plan feel, this kind of door could be the perfect solution. Providing a quick and easy way to seamlessly combine or divide rooms, they give homeowners the ability to adapt their space to their changing needs, creating a cohesive feel throughout the property. They’re also a great way of encouraging light flow between rooms and can help to make your home feel brighter and more spacious, especially when you choose something like our LPD Internal Bifold Oak Pattern 10 Glazed Door, which includes two clear glass panels. 

We also stock a variety of primed bifold models, which means you can easily add a colour of your choice to finish the look and enhance your smaller space. To make your room feel larger, we recommend selecting light shades like white, pale grey or soft pastels, avoiding dark colours that can make already compact rooms feel even more confined. You can also paint your doors the same colour as your walls to further enhance your home’s flow and create a sense of space.   

Styles to suit a range of tastes

Whatever your style preferences or home aesthetics, one of our bifolding doors could be the perfect finishing touch to your space. If you’re a fan of the more traditional look, something like our prefinished LPD Oak Mexicano Bi-fold Door adds cosy character, combining warm oak tones and a natural wood grain for a rustic, cottage-style feel. On the other hand, if you prefer something a bit more contemporary, our LPD Internal Bifold White Glazed Door uses minimalist design features like clean lines and sleek glass panels to create a stylish, modern effect.
