Reverse doors with ceiling-high panel

Hello everyone,

I would like to share a few pictures of my (just installed) interior doors. I thought maybe the doors would inspire someone. The design may be liked or not, but it is definitely not standard.

They are reverse-opening doors, veneered in natural oak, lightly brushed and lacquered.
Ceiling height 250cm, clear passage dimension 218cm.
Tomorrow doors will be installed on the ground floor. There the upper panel is 20cm higher, as the clear ceiling height is 270cm.
We are very satisfied with the carpenter’s work.

Before any nasty comments come up here, along the lines of: "What’s the point of this post?", "Are you trying to show off?"...
It’s a forum and a treasure trove of ideas. Maybe other builders are looking for something similar and find hardly any real pictures online...

Yeah. Nice. I don't really get my inspiration for the house from the office hallway.

Basically, apart from the décor, quite nice.
What would bother me though, I would also have liked doors like these. But in your case, in my opinion, the actually great thing about this type of door is lost, it does not sit flush with the wall but rather on it. That would bother me.

I have indeed never seen it like that! What does it look like from the room side, is there also a cover? We also have doors that open in reverse, flush-mounted, there was a long back and forth whether it was really worth the extra cost. But every day I am happy again because it is exactly as I imagined it. You can then also look forward to that feeling that you followed through with your thing!

Yes... that would be great. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make larger door openings (required for flush doors with the wall) because the wall is simply too short. The frame, which protrudes by 16mm, is now flush with the baseboards.
Only in the ground floor in our storage room under the stairs was this more or less possible. It looks like that.

What does it look like from the room side, is there also a cover panel?

There is no cover panel on the inside. We deliberately decided against it because from inside the door leaf does not sit flush with the wall (frame). The applied cover panel would look a bit odd.

Hi,

first of all thanks for the post. Since a few people have done it here - what are the additional costs of a standard flush door compared to a reverse opening door approximately?

Thanks
