By Mark J. Donovan
Interior door styles range from the
old rustic look to the modern contemporary look. There is no reason to limit
your selection to the few stock interior door styles sold at your local home
improvement center. If you speak with a store attendant or look on line, you can
find a whole world of interior door styles to choose from. Summarized below are
some of the more common interior door styles.
Rustic Interior
Door Styles
Rustic interior door styles are
manufactured to highlight textures, wood grains and wood imperfections.
They typically are not painted so
that the wood grains and imperfections stand out and provide unique character to
the door. Door manufacturers offer rustic interior door styles in 6, 4, and 2
panel v-groove door styles. Some styles also offer window lites. Door sizes
range from 24” to 36” in width and standard 6’-8” in height.
Classic or
Traditional Interior Door Styles
Classic or traditional interior door
styles represent what is installed in most homes. Typically they are four or six
panel doors that are made out of either solid wood or hollow particle board
(Masonite).
Some manufacturers offer window lites. Door sizes range from 24” to 36” in width
and 6’-6” to 6’-8” in height.
Victorian
Interior Door Styles
Victorian interior door styles
are both opulent and ornate in appearance. As with other interior door
styles they include raised panels and window lite offerings. Victorian
interior door styles also utilize arched and circular raised paneling and
moldings to achieve their unique and grand character. Door sizes are
available in similar sizes as classic or traditional interior door styles.
Contemporary
Interior Door Styles
With contemporary interior door
styles, sleek and minimalist are the two words that come to mind.
Contemporary interior doors
are usually smooth surfaced and use minimal trim and hardware. Window
lites are kept to a minimum and they are typically square or rectangular
in shape. Door sizes are available in similar sizes as classic or
traditional interior door styles.

are typically made out of solid wood with raised molding, and are grand
in both size and style.
