It\u2019s one of the questions we get asked the most by our customers \u2013 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\u2019re 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?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Savoy Timber, we\u2019ve been helping customers upgrade their homes for over 70 years now, and in that time, we\u2019ve learned a thing or two about choosing the right door. <\/span>Shaker-style interior doors<\/span> 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\u2019s explore the benefits of <\/span>shaker internal doors <\/span>and uncover exactly what it is that makes them such a versatile option.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a shaker-style interior door?<\/h2>\n

You may be wondering \u2013 what is a <\/span>shaker-style interior door<\/span>? Honestly, it\u2019s a <\/span>fair question<\/span>. While the name might be unfamiliar, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve seen one before, as they\u2019re actually one of the UK\u2019s most popular kinds of internal doors. They\u2019re recognisable by their flat panels, typically featuring either a single central panel or several smaller panels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A timeless option, perfect for transitional spaces<\/h2>\n

Shaker-style internal doors<\/span> 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\u2019s timeless appeal is its simplicity. True to the philosophy of the 18th century community that gave them their name, they prioritise understated, functional designs \u2013 and it\u2019s this that makes them perfect for traditional, modern or transitional spaces. Their timeless look and understated style mean that they\u2019re essentially a versatile blank canvas, and can be used to complement a number of chosen aesthetics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use heritage shades and vintage hardware for a traditional look<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking to add the final touch to your traditional property, our <\/span>shaker-style internal doors<\/span> could be just the thing. For a classic, rustic look, we recommend choosing something like the <\/span>LPD Internal Oak<\/strong> Shaker 4 Panel Door<\/strong>,<\/span><\/a> making the most of its natural oak grain and warm, cosy oak shade. We also offer <\/span>primed shaker doors<\/a><\/strong>, 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\u2019s 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 <\/span>knob<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose contemporary shades and handles for modern homes<\/h2>\n

As we mentioned earlier, the beauty of the <\/span>shaker-style interior door <\/span>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 <\/span>chrome lever-style handles<\/a><\/strong>, reflecting the door\u2019s simple, clean lines and producing a sleek, minimalist look. In terms of colour, you can\u2019t go wrong with bold, sophisticated blacks, minimalist whites and crisp greys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With all that said, if you\u2019re tempted to choose a <\/span>shaker internal door<\/span> for your home, we\u2019re here to help. As one of the UK\u2019s leading stockists of <\/span>internal doors<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, we\u2019ve got a range of <\/span>shaker-style interior doors<\/span> from the leading brand LPD, offering great prices and speedy delivery so you can get the look you want easily and for less.
