How to Personalize Your Living Space With Custom Interior Doors

Doors provide privacy in bedrooms, help to block out noise when on at-home business calls, and help keep the mess hidden away when guests come over for the holidays.  Interior doors also give us peace of mind and comfort… which is why updating or choosing the right interior doors should never be an afterthought.  Discover all you need to know about personalizing your living space with custom interior doors from The Royal Wood Shop in 2022. 

Choose Your Interior Door Style 

The hottest trend in doors for the year ahead is trimmed solid shaker-style doors. Shaker interior doors are beautiful and extremely versatile – as there are many panel configurations available.  Shaker doors are made with a solid wood core with an MDF face. Shaker doors can be installed left, right, or as sliding doors. At The Royal Wood Shop, we can help you to select a custom interior door panel that fits your home’s character and vibe. Are you more of a single-panel family? Two panels? Clear glass? Laminate glass?  Visit us in-store or browse our online product catalogue to learn about each style possibility for your home.

Customize Your Interior Door Sizes 

While many people assume there’s only one standard door size… but that’s far from true.  Standard door widths are 14”, 16”, 18”, 20”, 22”, 24”, 26”, 28”, 30”, 32”, 34”, 36” and recently, for accessibility, 38”. Standard door heights are 78”, 80”, 84”, 90”, and 96”. For those with more unique spaces, custom-sized doors are also available. So, whether you’re retrofitting a historic home or looking for a WOW feature in your new home, a custom door size can be an impactful investment. 

Pick From Unique Interior Door Hardware Options

From door handles to hinge colour, your interior door finishes impact the look of your home.  You can shake up your interior door’s personality with chrome, black, or nickel door hardware. Take your design a step further and browse hinge types, levers and knobs, barn door hardware, diecast door stops, and beyond.  And don’t forget to decide how your door will open – Left? Right? Push? Pull?  You can customize functionality that fits your needs.

Choosing The Right Paint Colour For Custom Interior Doors

When choosing the colour of your interior doors, you’ll need to consider your budget and style preferences.  In most cases, the higher the price point of the door, the higher the quality of the wood. For example, stain-grade doors are more expensive and have more authentic, natural wood surfaces.  Alternatively, paint-grade front doors are made of smooth, flat wood and made with lower-quality materials. These interior doors are painted with latex paint that hides the natural grain.  For those looking to update their home with dramatic door colours, paint-grade doors are a smart, budget-friendly option. With paint-grade interior doors, homeowners can transform the look of the door with a little primer and latex-based paint.  While most people opt for white interior doors, the options are endless for choosing a featured colour that compliments your personality and lifestyle.
