What should you consider when choosing a Georgian-style internal room divider?
Make the most of natural light
Glass panels help to provide a light and airy feel to a room, so that although you are creating separate spaces with your Georgian internal door, you aren't blocking out any natural light and can enjoy an expansive view, from one room into the next. This ensures that the glass door won't make a space seem smaller, so is especially ideal for those small, dark areas that you don't want to make feel more cramped or darker. Whether you are looking for a Georgian-style room divider to divide up an open plan kitchen and living room, or to separate workspaces in a busy office – glass panels will ensure a versatile option for any room.
Horizontal / Vertical Georgian bars
Georgian bars are, essentially, horizontal or vertical bars that go across or down the glass partition, and are usually made of steel-look materials or the same material as the door frame. Georgian bars divide up the glass panel into smaller panes or even grids - a style that is reminiscent of the Georgian period. A hugely popular trend in interior design circles – a room divider with Georgian bars is the perfect way to achieve the aesthetic you are looking for. Consider the colour you would prefer for your Georgian bars – often, a classic black colour creates a versatile look that will suit any home.
At Origin, our OI-30 allows you the option to add horizontal or vertical glazing bars, up to a maximum of two vertical and six horizontal. For example – you may want to increase the number of glazing bars to deliver a full heritage or Art Deco look, or you may want to decrease the number of glazing bars for a more minimalistic design and larger glass panels. This is down to your preference – would you prefer a busier Georgian-style door, or a cleaner, more minimalistic look?
Consider a steel look aesthetic
The steel-look aesthetic is key to achieving an industrial, Georgian-style appearance in a room divider. Steel-look aluminium is a great option, as it offers excellent strength and durability, ensuring it will get a lot of use for a long time to come. It also provides a sleek, classic appearance and provides the steel-look appearance without compromising the benefits of aluminium.
What is your preferred configuration?
When choosing your perfect Georgian-style internal room divider, there is a wide range of configurations available, so think about your requirements and preferences before making a decision. At Origin, you can choose between a Single Door or a French Door configuration. We also offer a Fixed Screen. For any awkward spaces or to create a space such as a separate home office or home gym, a corner configuration could be just what you need.
The Origin Internal Door is available in over 150 RAL colours and so the number of customisations available means that that there really is an Origin Internal Door to suit everyone.

Consider options of glazing
Would you prefer clear glass, or reeded or frosted glass for additional privacy? The location of your Georgian-style door will likely determine this – for a private home gym or a private study area where you don’t want any distractions, perhaps opt for reeded or frosted glass. Choosing a bespoke supplier can help ensure you choose the glazing option you need for your internal room divider. Please liaise with your local Trade Partner to discuss glazing options, as Origin do not provide the glass.
What accessories would go well with your Georgian room divider?
The accessories you choose, such as handles, will be highly dependent on the colour of your ideal divider. You should also give some thought to the handle material you choose – you want a durable, practical option – particularly if your door is going to get a lot of constant use. When it comes to colour, you may want to choose a satin brass handle to create an eye-catching contrast for a black door, or a classy matt black handle to blend into your black interior door.

Consider also whether you would prefer to use more minimalistic handle designs, or more decorative options.
Durability
Consider how much use you will be getting out of your internal room divider, and choose a supplier that will provide a durable, reliable Georgian-style room divider. Think about the material the door is made from, as well as whether the door has any extra protection such as powdercoating. At Origin, our internal room dividers are powdercoated to withstand relentless exposure to the elements and UV light. This will keep your mind at rest – no matter how often your door gets used.
Why choose a bespoke, aluminium room divider?
Aluminium provides a sleek, classic appearance and fits well with the popular industrial style that is sought-after in many residential and commercial properties. In addition to this, aluminium can also go well alongside many other materials, textures and colours - so will blend seamlessly into most homes or commercial areas. On top of this, you also get the durability and strength of aluminium for a reliable internal door.
Opting for bespoke internal room dividers enables you to choose the doors that truly meet your needs, without having to make any compromises. You can pick the most appropriate configuration and specification to match your specific taste and practical demands.
When you choose Origin for your internal room dividers, you can choose from options such as different sizes and configurations, various handle styles and colours, and vertical and horizontal bar options. You can also choose whether you would like more glass panels and fewer divider bars for simplicity, or a busier option with more divider bars.
