Creating Multi-Use Rooms with Interior Doors

24 May 2023 by Dan Rawling

Modern home designs increasingly have to incorporate functionality and multiple uses for every room in the home. Many new home builds have customers asking for designs that incorporate future demands for their family, including consideration of inter-generational living. Converting rooms from one use to another is enhanced with clever building design, whether it’s a new build or a renovation. Creating a Multi-Purpose Space

350 Series Partition Internal Door

These multiple-purpose rooms are often referred to as ‘flex rooms' and are especially popular for dividing off areas of a home or business enabling them to function separately from the rest of the property. This can effectively cover and future-proof the needs of customers/clients, guests, teenagers, or elderly relatives enabling more independence and privacy within this space.   

Sliding interior doors are an ideal option for dividing rooms, especially as they can be easily rolled into place whether you want to close a room down or open to combine areas. Top-hung internal sliding doors can represent the best option for dividing rooms, as the sliding mechanism they use is fitted above the doorway eliminating a bottom track requirement. Not having this bottom track removes any tripping hazard concern, or requiring the track to be fixed to the carpet etc...

Series 350 are popular with customers for their interior door needs, especially as they offer a stylish and modern finish with a range of infill options that include glass, glossy or satin melamine colours. Frosted glass doors are a popular option for HomePlus customers, due to the privacy they offer whilst still allowing the light into an area. Custom-made doors have the versatility to work with the individual home design, for requirements from simple minimalist doors to heavily structured panel designs.
