Many homeowners may think that all doors are basically the same. However, several different styles offer unique aesthetic and practical benefits. Whether you’re looking for a new front door to match your siding or you want to add some privacy in the house, here are a few door designs to consider.

What Are Some Distinctive Door Styles?

1. Dutch Doors

Dutch doors are divided into two panels on the top and bottom. This allows you to open only the top or bottom part of the door, or keep them both opened or closed at once.

2. French Doors

French doors provide a dramatic and luxurious look. They include a pair of glass-paneled doors that open on hinges away from one another. This can be perfect for patio rooms or other areas where you want to create a feeling of openness.

3. Bifold Doors

Bifold doors include multiple panels that are connected on hinges and set on a track. When you open them, the doors fold into one another as they slide along the track.

4. Barn Doors

Barn doors offer a country-inspired look and a space-efficient style. The slab attaches to a track above the entryway and slides back and forth to open and close. This style sometimes includes two doors so that they can both open to reveal a wide entryway.

siding5. Sliding Doors

Sliding doors usually include a couple of panels that move along horizontal tracks. However, they often have tracks on both the top and bottom, and only one door moves at a time.

6. Hinged Doors

Hinged doors are probably what you immediately picture when you think of doors. Each one includes a single slab that swings open and closed on a hinge.

7. Pocket Doors

Pocket doors are especially useful in small spaces. They slide on a track that is contained inside a wall. When you want to open the door, slide it into the recess. No need to worry about swinging it open and hitting anything.

8. Pivot Doors

Pivot doors swing open and closed similar to the way hinged doors do, but they attach to the frame on the top and bottom — not the side. That way, they seemingly float open without touching the wall on either side, creating a unique, and open feel.
