Show us your doors...

Anyone out there willing to share what internal door skirting architraves you went for and your reasons why.

Did you go with same style throughout house?

Did you go with some glass and if so did you mix clear and frosted glass throughout.

Did any of you put frosted glass into ensuite door of master bedroom? I think it would be lovely in ours but I could be kicking myself every summer with 5am sunrise...

Haven't gotten that far ourselves yet so can't add much but one thing I know we will be looking for is that the architraves and skirting will be very simple and have no grooves etc. Nothing that can gather dust and add more hassle for cleaning.

Went with prefinished white oak doors and architrave. Also used 6" chamfered prefinished skirting. Same all throughout the house upstairs and downstairs.

13nr doors and architrave. About 90-100m of skirting all supplied and fitted I think was just under €7,000

Reason for this style was no need to ever paint later on, easy to clean with a wipe of a cloth and mainly as we loved the look of it.

All oak looks class and no painting a bonus.

oak doors and white architrave/skirting or white doors and oak architrave/skirting looks great too.

Wonder which would work out the most cost effective. I'd imagine all oak most expensive. but what about oak doors and white architrave/skirting v white doors and oak architrave/skirting.

Actually now when I google it, there are few if any images for white doors and oak architrave/skirting. So maybe it's not common.

I'm planning to go for painted white doors, white frames and skirting. I plan on having a lovely oak floor and I hate having too many woods competing with each other! (it should be cheaper too!)

I would definitely say no to the glass in the ensuite door - sure there'd be no point even having curtains in that room, once the sun is up, the room would be bright. It may not bother you but I'd hate it imo. Also think about if you wanted to nap in the middle of the day, you wouldn't be able to properly darken the room.

Agreed whippy, it's grand this time of year but the 4.30am dawn chorus mid July might be an issue.

Was going with wood look tiles on floor but now doing with warm creamy mottled matte rectified 60X60 or thereabouts tiles and tiling wood look in bedrooms and sitting room.

That pic is just from a real house on Instagram, cream floors defo need a bit of wood and I am thinking of doing landing, mezzanine and upstairs in carpet as we didn't go with concrete floor upstairs.
Looking at window boards today adding up the costs, your head would be light squeezing a bit here and there.

working our way towards making this decision too, well have already committed to white frames & skirting and at the min walnut doors are winning out. probably going to have a mixture of solid and glazed doors, my preference would be frosted glaze on all upstairs doors to let maximum light into the hall (only has north facing windows) and the use of a roller blind on the back of the door if needed. plasterers finishing today hopefully and floor is next so bit of time yet to work it all out!
