The front door sets the tone of a home- being the first and last aspect a person sees when they visit. While many continue to incorporate unique colours and styles to the entrance to a home, there is one door that possibly provides the cleanest transition into a room- that being the pivot door. The modernization of the pivot door continues to act as one of the bigger trends across architecture and home design in recent years - offering a unique mechanism that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.  

Pivot doors are not only visual masterpieces, but also seamlessly integrate into a variety of interior styles. Designed to spin on a vertical axis either with or without a stopper, a door can be customised to effortlessly rotate up to 360 degrees. Anchored at the bottom of the door, the pivot and floor support the entire weight of the door. Therefore, the wall isn’t required to provide reinforcement, making this style of entrance slightly more stable than conventional doors especially in poor weather conditions.

Not being hung on a traditional door frame with hinges also makes for an easy design process with little hardware needed for the space - being one of the only doors on the market that doesn’t require a proper frame installation. This creates the opportunity for this style to be easily integrated into a new or older build.  

Pivot doors work well as the front or back entrance to a home, however can also be integrated as a room divider. When used internally, they provide the illusion of a grander sense of space. Therefore, if there is a smaller room within a build that doesn’t quite offer the room for an open side-hinged door, a pivot door could prove to be an effective solution. 

If you are searching for an additive to your next design that brings an effortlessly dramatic and modern flair, the pivot door should rank highly in preference. Whilst it is a slightly more costly venture than the typical door designs in the market, the stylistic impression offered is priceless.
