Choosing internal doors and windows is a vital part of any new build or renovation. Of course, windows frame views and let in light and air, while internal doors can close off rooms for warmth, noise containment and privacy. But they serve more than a purely practical purpose. Their style also helps set the design tone of your home and informs the other architectural details – skirtings, cornices, architraves and the like – that complete the aesthetic of your home. “You want architecture and features to tell the story of the era or style you are hoping to achieve,” says stylist Tilly Roberts. Of course, as with many aspects of architecture and interior design, there’s no one size fits all approach and you can certainly mix and match different options within your chosen style.
Sound complicated? Not to worry.
