What Interior Door Should I Choose for my Project? Help Needed!

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

I'm updating an old double closet sliding door in an office and am torn between standard colonial wood doors (white) or 10-lite glass doors (white). The current doors (in place) were unfortunately cut to short and hang about 3 inches off of the floor so they will need to be replaced.

Option 1 - Standard colonial wood door

Option 2 - 10-lite glass door

Please let me know your favorite and why - thank you in advance for your opinions.

If its a closet why would you want glass paned doors? Who wants to view the interior of a closet? If the picture is your space it also would be all paned doors and very busy.

Standard doors. You already have two 15-pane doors on each side of the closet, plus wainscoting. Adding more little squares will make the room even busier. The eye needs a place to rest.

Hello CG, you can buy some of these and try them on site. From the pictures you posted I get the feeling you have 2 colors with similar saturation both fighting for attention. It's a little too much. I would keep the green but go softer on the red (i.e rust). You can also let yourself be inspired by the grey/silver/bordeaux floral and stripe pillows to create a brand new color scheme using these colors instead. For example, a very soft gray on the walls, gray carpet, grey/bordeaux combo in the curtains and for the sofa accents, pillows similar to these 2. It's decision time. Go for what speaks to you, but do it with elegance :-)

I would go for a stone colour so not too dissimilar to what you've got. Little Greene does a good stone colour too but will work out a bit expensive. This is Oxford stone by farrow and ball. If you were doing the windows and front door then maybe an old white with door and windows in french grey

Your room looks large and lovely but with an entrance at one end and a fireplace at the other can seem a bit long. Firstly take EVERYTHING out. This will show the room in the best advantage and get rid of clutter. Only put back things you absolutely love. I would put two sofas or a sofa and two chairs (they don't have to be a suite) in front of the fireplace OR get a solid coloured L shaped sofa as it seems you are orienting the room toward the TV. You could then put a nice rug under a light-feeling coffee table (maybe glass and wood to pick up your chimney breast) in the middle. This would allow you to get rid of the multiple small side tables. I would lighten up the alcoves alongside the fireplace, either paint or light wallpaper. Get a proper piece of furniture for the TV to stand on. TV stands are ugly. There's lots to choose from. Try IKEA. Take down the heavy curtains and put in Roman blinds in a print fabric you love (try to find one with at least 3 colours) and coordinate with your rug. You could then use colours in this to make/pick throws and pillows. At the end near the door you could put in a small table and your rocking chair and make it like a separate area for music or reading with a nice standing lamp. Get some inexpensive drum light shades to update the lighting and put in another standing lamp by your sofa, as mentioned above, and lower your pictures to eye height. Good luck!

Definitely standard doors. Your closet isn't an area you want to be able to see inside of all the time. I agree with the comment above as well, there are already the paned doors on each side, so paned closet doors would be too much. Good Luck!

Instead, do a rustic white barn door. Maybe not rustic depending on the style of your house, but a barn door is always a great and easy feature. I have one for my bedroom closet and it looks great, so if you were to use it, it would look great there too!
