I've had both. I prefer a single door for the bedroom and most other rooms. Double doors can cause problems with light switch placement, since they tend to block the immediate part of both bedroom walls. The switches often end up being well into the room in order to clear the doors.

Incompetent or uncaring builders and electricians sometimes place the switches so that they are behind one of the opened doors, the worst place to have a switch. You have to watch out for this.

In the end, though, it's what you want, not what everyone else is doing. If you are going for the grand entry, double doors will look better than a single door. Just make sure that whatever door(s) you chose, there is enough clearance to get the largest piece of furniture you are likely to ever own into the room.

And remember, some king size pillow top mattresses will not bend around a corner. You have to have enough clearance to swing the hole thing into the bedroom.

Furniture is one of the reasons we specified a double entry door for the house, even though we aren't using one on the bedroom.

We did slightly larger 2'8" doors for our "main" rooms (all bedrooms, laundry room, doorways to kitchen and dining) and left coat closet, pantry and bathroom doors as the standard 2'4". It's not visibly noticeable, but I'm hoping it'll be handy when I'm carrying things from room to room (laundry baskets in particular!).

Here's a 2'8" bedroom door with the 2' closet doors.

Hmmm, I'm not sure 28" is the standard. Other than the pretty much standard 36" width for doors leading out of the house (egress doors), I don't think there is a standard door size.

FWIW, we are using 36" interior doors, with minor exceptions.

Be sure to put a stop on that bedroom door, or you will have a knob hole in the drywall.

Mostly IÂm wondering if the Master "should" be different  being the master and all.

We are renovating a home that was seriously abused. This is in a high end neighborhood so I want to maintain that level. I really donÂt "need" a double entry and worry that it will waste space. But then, IÂm coming from an 1100 sq ft house mentality where space was always needed - this one has 3300.

IÂm seriously designed challenged, so I turn to these forums often and really appreciate all the help. All of the interior doors are currently 32". We are leaning toward changing the height from 6Â8 to 7Â6 with our 9Â ceiling.

If you want a larger door, then do it, but if you don't, I don't think you "need" to just because it's a "high end neighborhood". I have seen a lot of "high end" homes that have regular doors (and other things that I think are "cheap"). I think we all have different pieces that are important to us - you need to decide if the doors are worth it for you, or if you'd rather put the money toward something else.

Around here, 28" is the most common size interior door; I guess I should have said "standard". We got some funny looks when we said we wanted wider doors; not that they thought it was exactly strange, it's just not something people usually think about I guess.

Just an FYI, if someone in a wheelchair will ever need to pass through a door in the home, they will need a minimum clear space of 30 inches. That usually requires a 32 inch door. If the door is not straight-on accessible, an even wider door will be required.

Food for thought when you are designing your home and spec'ing doors. As I said, we will have mostly 36 inch doors in our build. We don't plan on being in wheelchairs, but you never know.

We have a wider than normal single door to accomodate a wheelchair should that be in our future. We also made the master bath wheel chair accessible.

I broke my foot and sure wish I'd had a wide bathroom door and accessible shower in my current house.

I'm proof, you don't need to be up in age to one day need these wide doors and accessible showers.

I prefer double doors to the Master. I won't go so far as to say it should have them but I just think it makes it look nicer. Just my "penny and a half" worth.
