Hello, our house planning is steadily progressing, and now I am deciding on the dimensions of the interior doors.
I am torn between 90 or 100 cm (35 or 39 inches) width / 211 cm (83 inches) height for the interior doors.
We have a ceiling height of 265 cm (104 inches).
The extra cost for the wider doors is minimal. I actually see only advantages with the wider doors, except that sometimes they can look like hospital doors :-(
The country-style design changes that only slightly.
Has anyone chosen this and regretted it?
Thanks

A standard wheelchair can pass through 76cm (30 inches) wide doors with some effort. However, this is not officially considered accessible, and the doors will most likely get scratched over time. Depending on the wheelchair user, even 1m (39 inches) wide doors may eventually show scratches.
An electric wheelchair, on the other hand, will likely be difficult or impossible to use without at least 1m (39 inches) wide doors.

The 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) doors already feel spacious when opened – I really like that about the living room door. They’re also practical for carrying boxes, laundry baskets, and chairs through.
However, when closed, they do look quite bulky... Large doors naturally require a lot of space to open.
If you don’t have a practical reason for larger doors, feel free to go with 90 cm (35 in).

Hello
We have doors measuring 100 x 225 cm (39 x 89 inches) throughout the entire house. Only the guest bathroom and the stove room have narrower doors installed. The ceiling heights increase from 250 to 340 cm (98 to 134 inches).
If the proportions and the floor plan are right, it already looks good.

Doors that are 75 cm (30 inches) wide only work with a medical wheelchair, which are narrower and prone to damage.
90 cm (35 inches) doors work quite well for walkers and wheelchairs, but electric wheelchairs can cause damage.
100 cm (40 inches) doors are comfortable.
We have 100 cm (40 inches) wide doors.
Planning wider doors because of a potential disability is pointless if everything else doesn’t fit.

The country house style only changes that slightly.Country house style? – I thought you were leaning toward Scandinavian architecture?What motivates you not to simply choose standard sizes (rough opening 87.5 cm (35 inches) for living and bedrooms, also 75 cm (30 inches) for bathrooms, possibly 62.5 cm (25 inches) for storage rooms)?
A height of 212.5 cm (84 inches) seems normal to me nowadays; a height of 200 cm (79 inches) looks a bit squat for room doors at 1 meter (39 inches) wide.
