Adding a period touch with Victorian internal doors

Marrying different visual styles representing two eras is no mean feat, and achieving the perfect balance means carefully treading a very fine line. Still, we’d successfully done exactly this on dozens of previous projects, so we were confident we could rise to the challenge here. 

We worked closely with the client to help them arrive at their excellent choice of our Victorian internal door, which offers a modern take on a classic period aesthetic.  This door’s lines are appealingly clean and simple, yet the hidden hardware is anything but, instead offering all the satisfying functionality and trouble-free durability of the very latest precision engineering.  In the home’s smaller spaces the client opted for single-leaf doors, while double-leaf doors help maintain an important sense of proportion and impact in larger rooms.  The double-leaf doors also enable living areas to be sectioned off, adding welcome versatility to the spaces they separate. 

All the doors we supplied were finished in white paint for a look as classic as it is confident, adding to an overall sense of simple sophistication and timelessness.  This look also complements the homeowner’s personal taste for pared-back décor, used here to effectively showcase a number of eye-catching items of art, homeware and furniture.  Even the stunning vistas from this home make a good case for keeping its interior white and minimal, since that interior makes a wonderful neutral backdrop for those views.

Overall, a unique and beautiful property enhanced by a restrained and sensitive choice of interior doors, each one configured for its space and fitted with features which make it a pleasure to use.

“We were determined to find exactly the right doors to help create the coherent interior we’d always envisioned, which meant working with a team who really understood our aesthetic. Deuren’s products were perfect, offering all the variety and customisation we needed, but never at the expense of doing the basics brilliantly.  The finished doors don’t just complete our home: they really help enhance it.”
