Collection: Cottage Doors

What are cottage doors?

Cottage doors have been a staple of interior design for centuries. They date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and they were traditionally crafted from locally sourced timber. They were characterised by simple designs using tongue-and-groove panelling.

Cottage doors are known for being practical and durable and were typically designed to withstand the harsh weather of the UK countryside. Now that cottage interior doors are on the rise, you can get all of the benefits of traditional cottage doors, except this time for the inside of your property.

Internal cottage doors are extremely popular at the moment thanks to influences from farmhouse-chic and rustic-modern styles. If this is more your style, you’ll love our Light Grey Somerset Prefinished and Light Grey Laminate Mexicano cottage internal doors.

How to maintain a cottage-style interior door

Maintaining a cottage-style interior door means you can enjoy its rustic charm and smooth functionality for years to come. Follow these simple steps for best results:

1. Regular cleaning

Dust the surface with a soft cloth to prevent dirt from building up, especially in the grooves or panelled areas. For a deep clean of your cottage doors, use a damp cloth with warm soapy water. Make sure to pat dry immediately to avoid any moisture damage.

2. Check your door’s hardware

Inspect your door’s hinges, handles, and locks for wear or looseness. Tighten screws or replace hardware if need be to ensure ease of use.

3. Avoid moisture exposure

Keep the door dry as much as possible. Excessive humidity can cause warping or swelling in wooden doors.

4. Oil the hinges

Lubricate the door’s hinges occasionally for smooth movement and to prevent consistent squeaking.

By following these cleaning steps, your cottage-style door should retain its beauty and charm for 20 to 30 years!
