Bedroom and Bathroom Door
The most common choice for Bedroom and Bathroom is an interior passage door, usually made from hollow-core or solid-core wood/composite material.
- Bedroom: Typically a panel or Shaker-style hinged door. Hollow-core is economical; solid-core provides better sound privacy and feels more substantial.
- Bathroom: Usually the same style, but with a privacy lock. Solid-core is a good upgrade for privacy and sound reduction.
- Popular designs: 1-panel Shaker, 2-panel, 3-panel, 5-panel, or traditional 6-panel.
- Typical size: Often 30″ × 80″ or 32″ × 80″, although the actual opening determines the size.
- Other options: Pocket doors and barn doors can save space, but they generally provide less sound/privacy sealing than a conventional hinged door.
Choose by Category
– Have raised or recessed decorative panels and work well with traditional, transitional, and many contemporary homes.
Shaker Style
-Have clean, square recessed panels with simple lines. They’re especially popular for modern and contemporary interiors.
Pocket Door
Slide into the wall, making them a strong option for smaller bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, and en-suite bathrooms where a swinging door would take up valuable floor space. For bathrooms and bedrooms, a solid-core pocket door with privacy hardware is preferable for better sound control and privacy.
Barn Door
Slide along the outside of the wall and are popular for master bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, and modern or rustic interiors. They create a decorative focal point and save floor space, but because they don’t seal tightly around the opening, they generally provide less sound and visual privacy than a conventional hinged or pocket door.
