Interior doors are more than just functional – they can play a big role in the overall style and feel of your home as you transition from room to room. The right interior doors can enhance your space’s design and create cohesion. When choosing door styles, think about how they’ll complement your home’s overall look. Here are five popular types of interior door styles to consider for your home.

Molded composite

Molded composite doors are the most popular and affordable interior door. They are available in assorted styles and add character to your home. There are two kinds of interior doors; slab and pre-hung. Each is available with a hollow or solid core.

A slab door is just the door and a pre-hung door is a slab door, hung inside a frame with hinges. A hollow core door is lightweight and inexpensive. A solid core door is stronger, heavier, with better soundproofing and provides good fire resistance. Most composite doors are primed and require painting.

French door

 
This classic door brings a touch of elegance to any room. The traditional style has multiple panes of glass while the more contemporary style has one pane. French doors allow natural light and a sense of space to flow from one room to another. They are available with clear glass or frosted glass for privacy.

Barn door

 
A sliding barn door system is a great solution for small spaces where a swinging door isn’t practical. The only space requirement is an area adjacent to the doorway to allow the door to slide freely.

Pocket door

 
A sliding pocket door is a space-saving solution similar to a barn door except the door and hardware are hidden inside the wall. The door you choose will completely disappear when open creating a unique and streamlined look.

Bi-fold door

 
Often used as closet doors where space is limited. They fold in half to open outwardly allowing access to 90 percent of the closet’s width. Bi-folds are commonly paired with the matching style of swinging door in the room.
