Classic style oak interior doors

Living in the UK we are blessed with a myriad of period properties from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras.  If you are renovating a period property, you may wish to retain that vintage feel and include influences from the era that your home was built.  Choosing a traditional style oak door is one way to achieve an authentic look.  Traditional raised panel door designs, whether they are 4 or 6 panel, are always a good option, as they are a timeless classic that just do not date.  Classic oak door styles are also a popular choice for modern properties too, blending in easily with a myriad of design themes.
