I like salvage doors-unique and more interesting. Do I have to use the same doors throughout house? - it is a single story , 4bd/3ba home....I dont think I could find enough matching doors. Is it ok to use different doors or should I match all bedrooms, for example/???
Many thanks »
Dytecture Hi seccor129, I would definitely use the same style door for the bedrooms. The closet doors could be another set if you can't find enough doors of the same style. Good Luck.
Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. I agree with Dytecture and would do all the bedroom doors the same. A great place to use a salvaged door is on a pantry. I used a salvaged door on this pantry, it was from a Spanish monastery and adds so much character to the room.
We built the cabinets around the doors, any style salvaged door would be fun. Also the front door is a great place to use a salvaged door. Hoe that helps. Charmean Neithart
Architectural salvage stores are filled with doors that have more character than a stock door and often come with quality hardware — all for the price of a stock slab at your local supplier. When buying a salvage piece, measure several points on the door. It may have been trimmed to fit an opening that wasn't square in the past. Make sure it isn't badly warped. And think about how this door was hung compared with your intended use. Hinge direction can often be changed, but the latch set might not be reversible.
Using salvaged doors, sinks, tubs and light fixtures is a great way to add character and style to your project while being greener, too. Salvage yards in just about every city provide almost every building component, from hardware to garden ornaments.
