Why Pair Doors Are So Popular in 2025
Open Plan Living Meets Defined Spaces
Pair doors are perfect for homeowners who want the airy feel of open-plan living but still need the option to close off rooms when needed. In 2025, flexibility is everything. With more people working from home, hybrid floorplans are in—pair doors let you open things up during the day and shut them at night for cosier living.
Maximise Natural Light
Glazed pair doors allow light to flow from room to room, making them ideal for dark hallways or living areas that don’t get enough daylight. Frosted or clear glass options mean you don’t have to compromise on privacy either.
Statement Style
Pair doors naturally draw the eye and act as a design focal point. They add symmetry and elegance to interiors, especially when finished with standout handles, bold colours, or bespoke detailing.
The Most Stylish Pair Door Trends for 2025
1. Slimline Steel-Look Glazed Pair Doors
These are a favourite in modern and industrial interiors. With black or graphite steel-look frames and narrow glazing bars, they echo the style of traditional Crittall doors while being more cost-effective and suitable for interior use.
Why they’re trending: Their minimal profile keeps interiors feeling open and modern while still offering definition between rooms.
2. White Primed Panelled Pairs
A classic option for period homes or those aiming for a timeless look. White doors can be finished with any paint colour, making them extremely versatile.
Perfect for: Traditional homes, Georgian and Victorian properties, or contemporary houses that lean toward cottagecore or minimal design.
3. Walnut and Oak Veneered Pair Doors
In 2025, warm woods are making a comeback. Walnut pair doors bring a luxurious, hotel-style feel, while oak is perfect for Scandinavian or rustic-inspired interiors.
4. Fire-Rated Pair Doors (FD30/FD60)
Safety doesn’t have to mean boring. In homes where fire doors are required between living spaces, such as between kitchens and lounges or in conversions, fire-rated pair doors are a stylish solution. Many of these now come in glazed and panelled designs that comply with UK fire regulations.
5. Bespoke Colour Pair Doors
Colour is huge in 2025. Interior designers are ordering pair doors in sage green, navy, slate grey, and even deep burgundy. Bespoke spray-finished doors can be made to match your interior palette exactly.
Types of Pair Doors Available in the UK
Glazed Pair Doors
Perfect for living/dining rooms or between kitchens and hallways, glazed pairs allow for light transfer and visual continuity. Choose from clear, frosted, reeded, or decorative glazing depending on your privacy needs.
Panelled Pair Doors
These offer more privacy and are ideal for bedrooms, studies, or separating family rooms. Shaker styles, raised mouldings, and tongue-and-groove patterns are popular right now.
Flush Pair Doors
A modern favourite—smooth-faced doors with no panels or glazing. Often used in minimalist interiors or modern renovations where clean lines are key.
Steel or Steel-Look Pair Doors
Whether real steel or wood/composite in a steel-look finish, these doors offer an industrial edge. They’re often used in urban conversions, apartments, or bold architectural spaces.
Benefits of Installing Pair Doors
Improved Flow Between Rooms
Whether fully opened or closed, pair doors improve how people move through a space. In family homes, they help separate noise zones while keeping the home connected.
Boosted Property Value
Stylish and practical renovations like pair doors add long-term value, especially if they’re high quality and professionally installed.
More Natural Light
This is especially important in UK homes where natural light can be scarce. Glazed pair doors bring sunlight into darker corners, improving mood and energy.
Adaptability
Pair doors can be fitted with different types of hardware and handles—from concealed hinges to flush bolts and chrome or black levers—letting you tailor the style to your taste.
Where to Use Pair Doors in Your Home
Living Room to Dining Room
This is the most common use—pair doors allow you to create a large entertaining space when open, or a cosier, more private setting when closed.
Hallway to Kitchen
Perfect for heat and smell control while still keeping light moving throughout the ground floor.
Bedroom to En-Suite
Use frosted or reeded glass for privacy while keeping a sense of openness and style.
Home Office
Pair doors with clear glazing help you stay connected to the home while maintaining a work boundary—essential for productivity.
How to Choose the Right Pair Doors
Measure Twice, Fit Once
Pair doors come in standard and bespoke sizes. Most sets require a larger opening than single doors, so it’s essential to measure your door aperture correctly—or work with a professional installer.
Choose the Right Finish
Natural wood? Painted MDF? Primed for custom colour? Each has its place. Oak is durable and great for traditional interiors, while white primed options are flexible and budget-friendly.
Consider Fire Safety
If you’re installing doors in a loft conversion, between garage and home, or in an HMO/rental, fire-rated pair doors may be a legal requirement. Look for FD30 certification and check the rules with your building inspector.

Fitting and Installation Tips
Use a Professional
Pair doors need to be hung evenly and secured in the middle with flush bolts or a central latch. Poor installation can cause warping or rubbing.
Don’t Forget the Frame
A well-finished frame makes a massive difference. Match the architrave and skirting to your new doors for a seamless look.
Floor Clearance Matters
Think about carpets, floor tiles, or underfloor heating. Make sure there’s enough clearance under the doors for smooth operation.
FAQs About Pair Doors
Q: Can I install pair doors in a regular single door opening?
A: Not usually. Pair doors need a wider opening, typically starting at 1,200mm. You may need to widen the aperture or create a new opening.
Q: Are glazed pair doors secure?
A: Yes—modern glazing is toughened and can be laminated for extra security. Use strong hinges and locking flush bolts for extra peace of mind.
Q: Do pair doors help with soundproofing?
A: Solid pair doors can significantly reduce sound travel between rooms. Use drop seals or acoustic kits for even better performance.
