LPD Internal Oak Mexicano Pattern 10 door

Here at Savoy Timber, we’ve spent over 70 years helping customers to transform their homes, and we know just how many different styles there are to choose from when it comes to internal doors. Industrial, Victorian, Cottage – the list goes on and on. It all depends on the look you’re hoping to achieve. Pattern 10 internal doors, for example, are a staple of more modern homes. But why are they such a popular choice? Let’s take a look! 

What is a pattern 10 internal door?

So, what is a pattern 10 door? You may not have heard of the term before, but chances are, you’ll have seen one. Popularised in the 1930s, a pattern 10 door is an internal door with a large, recessed central panel – this panel is often made of glass, but is also available in solid wood. They are commonly sold in shades of white and oak, and are one of our best-selling internal doors. If you’re trying to add a final, stylish touch to your contemporary space, pattern 10 doors could be exactly what you’re looking for!

A modern look for a modern home!

The pattern 10’s minimalistic design is really what makes it such a popular option for modern homes. With its sleek, clean lines, it’s ideal for creating a stylish, contemporary look. Natural light and open floor plans are signatures of modern styles, which makes pattern 10 doors with a glass panel perfect. Take, for example, our LPD Internal Oak Mexicano Pattern 10 door. The large sheet of glass lets light through and makes rooms feel larger and more connected, creating a spacious, airy feel – what’s more, the understated frosted lines on the glazed panel are a simple yet eye-catching feature. If you’re looking to really create a modern, open-plan feel, we also offer stylish LPD Internal Bifold Pattern 10 Glazed Doors.

Adding the all-important final touches

The finish you choose for your pattern 10 door also plays a part in complementing a modern aesthetic – so if you’re looking to paint your new door, one of our primed options would be perfect. While white is a clean, timeless option, shades like black and grey can also be used to enhance a modern or industrial aesthetic. If you want to make a bold statement, you can use colours like bright yellow or turquoise to create a vibrant, modern look. Some people even choose to paint their internal pattern 10 doors the same colour as their walls for a sleek, cohesive effect. We also offer a range of stylish hardware to really emphasise the contemporary feel of your pattern 10 doors, like sleek chrome or matte black lever-style handles.

Can pattern 10 doors be used for traditional spaces, too?

Even if you aren’t working with a modern space, don’t write off pattern 10 doors just yet! With the right choice, you can enjoy the design’s timeless simplicity while adding warmth and character to your home. To add a traditional touch to your new pattern 10 doors, wood tones like walnut are particularly homely – the natural grain of our LPD Internal Oak Pattern 10 Panel Door, for example, is great for creating a classic look. Similarly, you can use soft neutrals and shades like sage green for a more rustic effect. Again, your choice of hardware goes a long way – consider something like our Brass Victorian Mortice Knob to really enhance a traditional space.
