What Type of Door is Best for My Bedroom? 

27/01/2023

Here let’s talk about how to pick a bedroom door. Here are some things you should consider: 

  • The type of door to install (e.g. hinge, sliding, wood, fibreglass, composite material) 
  • The interior design and theme of your bedroom and home 
  • Door size (especially if you’re replacing an old door and the old frame’s still there) 
  • The space where the door will rest when fully open (especially if it’s a hinge door) 

First, what type of door do you require or want? A common and safe choice is by having a hinged wood door. It’s the most conventional type and can nicely complement most designs of homes and bedrooms. You can also choose sliding glass doors but note the privacy and interior lighting in your bedroom. You can also explore other door materials especially if you’re looking for a quiet, sturdy and soundproof type. 

You should also consider the interior design and theme of your bedroom and home. The door should just stay there in the background without attracting any attention. When browsing for your options, try to visualise how your entire room will look once the door is installed. This way, the door will just be a quiet fixture and you won’t have to think about it for years to come (because it just stays there quietly in the background doing its work). 

Door size is also another important factor. It’s especially the case when you’re replacing an old door with the old frame still intact. Door size is also important when you have a limited space in your bedroom. A door too big for the room will occupy more space than necessary (which means less space for your furniture and other belongings). On a related note, you should also consider how the door will swing open (if it’s a hinge door). Note that the entire door panel will occupy space when it’s fully open. Ideally, it should rest against a wall (e.g. door frame and wall are perpendicular to each other). 

Those are just some of the factors you should consider when picking a door for your bedroom. If you want more ideas, you can browse your options here.
