The flexible nature and affordability of oak as a manufacturing material is also a contributing factor but for this blog we’ll be looking at some of the most popular oak door design styles currently on the market.

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.
