What are the Best Bedroom Doors: Our Recommendations
Published: October 06, 2020
Whether you are building a new home or remodeling your current home, your bedroom doors are an important asset in creating privacy and comfort within your home. Whether you are trying to make a grand entrance into your master bedroom of create a sleek smooth transition into kids and guest rooms, there are many options of interior bedroom doors to suit your needs. When it comes to interior bedroom doors there is a wide variety of styles and materials to choose from.
What Doors are Best?
The entryway to your bedroom is an opportunity to add a more decorative or flashy touch to your home and master bedroom. Some homeowners opt for a clean simple look with basic flush or shaker panel doors while others may opt for more modern styles like interior barn doors. While a standard flush and panel door is made to swing open and closed, barn doors are meant to slide open and closed.
If you have a larger bedroom you may opt to create a dramatic entrance with a set of French doors that either slide or swing open at the center. When it comes to rooms and closets inside your bedroom you may opt for space saving types of doors like pocket doors that slide into the wall or bi-fold doors that fold in half when opening taking up less space than a standard swinging door.
Solid Wood or Hollow Core
When it comes to construction of bedroom doors we highly recommend solid wood doors with mortise and tenon joinery. Solid wood doors are traditionally favored for their sturdy weight, classic appeal, and sound insulation qualities. Which lets face it most all homeowners want peace and quiet when they are trying to sleep and having solid wood door on your bedroom can play a big part in this. While these doors tend to be more expensive than their veneered hollow core counter parts, solid wood doors are extremely durable and will last a long time.
While hollow core doors can look like a real solid wood door, what they gain in price point they lack in other categories like insulation whether its noise or controlling a temperature within a room. Hollow core doors are made by sandwiching a thin piece of veneered plywood over a thin outer frame and typically filled with corrugated cardboard to keep the procvide the plywood some stability from caving inwards. These doors are usually not very durable and can split apart a the seams where the panel is glued to the frame.

Selecting the Perfect Custom Wood Door
A well-chosen wood door does more than fill an opening; it sets the tone for an entire room or entryway. Interior doors influence how spaces flow together, while exterior doors establish the first impression of your home. When selecting a custom door, consider three primary factors: the architectural style of your home, the functional requirements of the opening, and the wood species that best complements your existing millwork.
For traditional and colonial homes, raised-panel doors with six or eight panels create a classic look. Contemporary and transitional homes lean toward flat-panel or Shaker-style doors with clean lines. Louvered doors are ideal for closets, laundry rooms, and utility spaces where airflow matters. French doors with glass panels open up sightlines between rooms while maintaining the ability to close off spaces for privacy or climate control.
Wood species matters both aesthetically and structurally. Red Oak and White Oak are among the hardest domestic species, making them excellent choices for high-traffic exterior doors. Mahogany offers superior dimensional stability and a rich grain pattern prized for front entries. For interior doors that will be painted, Poplar provides a smooth, affordable substrate. Estate Millwork builds every door using mortise-and-tenon joinery with hardwood dowel pins, ensuring joints that will not loosen over a lifetime of daily use.
