Custom pocket doors - how to design one that fits your aesthetic

Although there is a wealth of different pocket door systems available for the home and the workplace, we sometimes have individual needs and tastes which require specialist attention. Creativity in interior design often goes through phases of what is fashionable and on trend, but at the same time you sometimes require inspiration and have every right to go leftfield in what suits your taste and desires.

The ambience of a home or workspace can be heavily impacted by aesthetic designs, and individual demands dictate that you should have as wide a choice as possible. In fact, you should be able to design your own pocket doors systems and match your needs to a very specific style of product. So here we have put together some examples of custom pocket door designs which can supplement our standard range.

Bespoke design glass pocket doors

Glass pocket doors already bring an individual air to a home or workplace, because they let light shine through and create a very different atmosphere, at least compared to a regular solid door. But at the Pocket Door Shop we have completely put you in charge of where you want to take a glass pocket door design. You can opt for plain glass and satin opaque glass, but you can also choose a design of your own. You can choose from a range of sandblasted patterns and lines, plus designs with coloured inserts and even hand painted designs. For the workplace we can also adapt a glass pocket door to incorporate a company logo or slogan, to provide an impressive and professional entrance to a workplace boardroom or meeting room.

Our bespoke glass pocket door designs are available for single and double doors, as well as Syntesis doors, which provide a sleek and flawless design for the contemporary home or workplace.

Made to measure pocket doors

If size is the important factor in choosing a pocket door system, then we can supply a non-standard size that suits your internal requirements. It is often the case that space is restricted and you can’t compromise on interior design requirements, and certainly structural limitations, and so a pocket door system will only work if you can be supplied with a very specific size. Our made to measure pocket doors can be supplied as single, double, Syntesis, fire-rated and glass pocket doors, so make sure you get the basics of aesthetics right and choose the right size pocket door for your needs.

Telescopic pocket doors

From our pocket doors specials range, the telescopic pocket door is an ideal solution where wall space is limited but you really need the space-saving qualities that a pocket door can bring. With a telescopic pocket door, the door itself is divided into two vertical halves, and when opened, one half of the door fits into the second half. This means the wall ‘pocket’ only needs to be half the width of the actual door. At the same time, there is no compromise in the aesthetic quality of the pocket door and it is still clean, elegant and functional.

Curved pocket doors

For the ultimate in spectacular elegance, you can opt for a curved pocket door, which provides a sweeping door entrance with stylish curvature and still maintains the clean, uncluttered look you are after. The impact of a curved pocket door can be maximised by opting for a double pocket door system, and whether opened or closed you can create a stunning entrance with the onus on wow factor.

Unilateral pocket doors

This is a system of twin pocket doors which open on an adjacent wall and in opposite directions into the same wall pocket. So a unilateral pocket door system is good for symmetry and balance, as well as functional simplicity, while it also saves vital wall space. When dividing a large room into two smaller rooms, sometimes you retain just the one entrance/exit door and have an internal door dividing the two ‘new’ rooms. But this may cause issues with practicality and privacy. So unilateral pocket doors solve this problem and ensure each room has a dedicated entrance and exit door. Meanwhile, you also have the aesthetic benefit that the rooms are square and equal, as well as wall space being maximised.
