What is a Dutch Door?
A Dutch door, also known as a stable door in the UK, is a door design that’s divided horizontally into two separate halves. This means the top half can open independently of the bottom, allowing you to open just the top section while keeping the lower half close or vice versa.
Why Choose a Dutch Door?
A Dutch door, or a stable door, combines traditional charm with everyday functionality. Originally popular in rural homes and farmhouses, this classic design remains a stylish favourite for modern homeowners looking for a back door with character and purpose. Whether it’s used in a kitchen to keep an eye on children while cooking, or as a back door that welcomes fresh air without fully opening the home to the outdoors, a Dutch door offers a perfect balance of style and practicality. They're also ideal for utility rooms or pantries, serving as attractive and functional dividers within the home.
