Industrial Style Bifold Doors for a 1930s Home Renovation

Industrial Style Bifold Doors for a Modern Home Renovation

One key element which helps make a statement as part of stylish transformations is the use of internal black folding doors from our Roomfold Collection. As chosen by our customer Danielle Kemp (AKA @project_buxton on Instagram) for her original 1930s home.

An ultra-cool contemporary take on classic charm.

Black bifold doors offer a striking contrast to the often ornate and delicate features of period homes. This juxtaposition creates a dynamic and appealing aesthetic, where traditional and contemporary elements coexist harmoniously.

Danielle explains: “Myself, my partner and daughter have just completed a full renovation including an extension on our 1930s bungalow. We doubled the size of the property, keeping it on one floor and creating a large open plan space at the rear.”

“With the renovation we wanted to be sympathetic to the property’s 1930s heritage but add a modern touch. The front of the property is true to its original style whereas the rear is much more modern – incorporating steel doors and sleek monochrome lines.”

A stylish element ideal for period property renovations

In terms of making a bold expression of style and infusing a feeling of classic elegance, industrial style black folding doors tick all the boxes for a property like Danielle’s.

Danielle says: “I was searching for black steel look internal doors when I found CLIMADOOR online. The price point, reviews and quality look of the product ultimately led us to choose the brand.”

“We opted for the Black Heritage Roomfold Grande design. We chose bifold doors as this allowed us to keep an open plan flow whilst meeting building requirements. The design is sleek, stylish and functional!”

Black is a timeless colour that never goes out of style. It commands attention while still being versatile, making it a great option for home renovations. This combined with the large glass panel design of bifold doors, allows natural light to flood into a room. Just what’s needed for a spacious and airy finish.

That perfect design where form and function meet.

Balance is key when introducing black features into a traditional-meets-contemporary home.

Danielle has achieved this perfectly; incorporating other black elements such as black hardware, fixtures and furniture. She also utilised lighter tones to contrast with the dark doors beautifully.

The combination of white walls, light-coloured flooring and neutral soft furnishings makes for a stunning visual impact; finished off with natural materials which add warmth and depth to the space.

Danielle says: “My black bifold doors have elevated the area and provide a contrast with the neutral decor. They've also made our home more functional as we’re able to zone off the hallway and open plan living space. The doors also allow us to retain heat in these spots. We’re super happy with our doors and would 100% choose CLIMADOOR in the future.”

From minimalist to maximalist, black doors complement a wide range of interior design styles. What makes them particularly effective is that they can be paired with a variety of aesthetics and architectural styles for an irresistible end result. Danielle’s project proves that sometimes a little monochrome magic is all you need to steal the spotlight…
