Looking at other people\u2019s homes for inspiration can sometimes be helpful, but really you want to be working out your own style, not copying someone else\u2019s. So how can you do that, then? Don\u2019t worry \u2013 we\u2019ve got you covered here at Savoy Timber. Here are some top tips about mixing and matching interior door styles in your home!<\/p>\n<h2>Should you keep all your internal doors the same?<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s the traditional wisdom when it comes to interior design, and it\u2019s not necessarily wrong. Your internal doors are one of the biggest influencers of style in your home, and advice from most interior design experts would be to pick one style for your home and stick with it. The reason for this is simple; basically, it keeps the style looking consistent, allowing you and any visitors to enjoy the full effect. Having a mishmash of too many different styles can look overpowering and messy (unless it\u2019s done right \u2013 but we\u2019ll get to that in a moment!).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got a couple of options when it comes to the style of doors. Here is just a sample:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern doors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/internal-doors\/oak-doors.html\">Modern oak doors<\/a> are great if you\u2019re just after a simple and straightforward look for your interiors, without the bells and whistles. The clean and functional aesthetic of options like our best-selling Palermo Pre-finished Oak Door makes them the very definition of modernity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glazed doors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want a door with a bit of visual interest, glazed doors are a fantastic go-to option. The glass can range from uncomplicated transparent panels to thicker, opaque panels for greater privacy, all the way up to more complex patterned designs to enhance your interior spaces.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-2375 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/bevelled-door-resized.png\" alt=\"bevelled door\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/bevelled-door-resized.png 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/bevelled-door-resized-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Panelled doors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, panelled doors are perfect for giving your interior an old-world, more vintage feel. For this reason, they\u2019re especially popular for cottage homes and those in more rural surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>White doors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum we have white doors, which are often chosen for their ability to give interiors a brilliantly clean and contemporary look.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure which to choose, you can rarely go wrong using oak internal doors with a modern aesthetic. Don\u2019t be afraid to try the others out too, though. But, you may be thinking, what if I can\u2019t decide between them? Does this mean I only have to choose one of them? Don\u2019t worry there either \u2013 the truth is far from it!<\/p>\n<h2>Alternative ways to style your home<\/h2>\n<p>As the old saying goes, sometimes rules are made to be broken. In fact, the most inspiring interiors are often those that combine old and new pieces in a variety of styles, resulting in fascinatingly diverse settings. Now obviously, as with everything in interior design, there\u2019s a trick to it. Rather than stuffing every room with pieces from every era \u2013 a streamlined, stainless steel table doesn\u2019t always go with an art-deco chandelier \u2013 you can keep your changes more subtle.<\/p>\n<p>You can create a simple but effective contrast by using two glazed doors in the kitchen, for example; one with a period style, and one with a modern style. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/deanta-pre-finished-glazed-ely-mexicano-oak-door-with-bevelled-glass.html\">Glazed Victorian 4-Panel Pre-finished Oak door<\/a> has quite a similar look to our Deanta Pre-finished Glazed Ely\/Mexicano Oak door, but there\u2019s just enough visual difference between them to keep things interesting!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-2373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/door-handle-resized.png\" alt=\"door handle\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/door-handle-resized.png 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/door-handle-resized-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An increasingly popular technique is to use your internal doors to hint at the various functions of each room. For example, a modern and functional door can be used for the entrance to family spaces such as the living room, while a more ornate bevelled glazed door can be used as the entrance to a study or home office. The same goes for colours \u2013 brighter pine doors like this Vertical Grain Clear Pine Vine Door can be used for the entrances to playrooms or entertainment spaces, while more subtle, serious tones (like the ones on this Pre-finished Oak Louis Door) can be used for moodier settings, like \u2013 dare we say it \u2013 the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about going for these latter approaches, though, don\u2019t dismiss those first rules completely. Even if you\u2019re going for a mix of styles, it\u2019s still important to pick just a few. Otherwise, you risk the space becoming too busy, and all effect is lost completely!<\/p>\n<p>Here at Savoy Timber, we pride ourselves on a truly massive selection of interior doors fit for all purposes and styles. You can take a quick look at some of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/internal-doors.html\">best-selling options here<\/a>, or pop into any of our DIY stores in Blackburn, Preston or Wigan, where you can see them in the flesh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Style has always been a tricky thing to get right in your home, especially where it concerns oak internal doors.
