OI-30 Internal Door
RAL colour 6019M
When interior influencer Sharon Hornsby (@hornsby_style on Instagram) approached us to help reimagine the flow of her downstairs space, we knew the OI-30 Internal Door system would be the perfect solution. Sharon wanted to create a clear divide between the hallway and kitchen without sacrificing the light, open feel of her home. More than just a practical update, she was looking to introduce a striking design feature that would complement her beautifully curated interiors. Choosing RAL 6019M Pastel Green, Sharon crafted a bold yet refined statement that perfectly complements and uplifts the space.
A Design-Led Collaboration
From start to finish, every detail of this installation was carefully considered, from the placement of the lock block to the way the doors would open around Sharon’s bespoke coffee nook. These doors weren’t just added for practicality; they were designed as an intentional extension of the surrounding furniture and décor. The result is a seamless blend of form and function, a piece of interior architecture that not only enhances the flow of the space but beautifully reflects Sharon’s distinctive style.
Why the OI-30?
The OI-30 is more than just a door. Designed with both beauty and purpose in mind, it offers a seamless way to define areas within a home, whilst allowing natural light to flow freely between spaces. In this installation, it acts as a stylish transitional feature that maintains an open feel, using it’s expansive glazing and carefully placed horizontal and vertical bars, Sharon created a vocal design piece without sacrificing light.
Finished in a soft pastel green (RAL 6019M), this bespoke colour choice brings personality and charm to the space. Paired with warm brass hardware and soft neutral tones throughout the kitchen and hallway, it becomes more than a functional divide, it’s a striking reflection of thoughtful but intentional design.
Setting the Tone
Positioned between the traditional black-and-white tiled hallway and the inviting warmth of the kitchen, this OI-30 creates a sophisticated focal point. The brass handles and hinges elevate the design further, adding a timeless feel that bridges classic styling with contemporary execution.
Its ability to tie together both zones without the need for solid walls or intrusive partitions demonstrates how our Internal door system can be used not just as a divider, but as a centrepiece that enhances interior design.
More Than a Door
This case study is a perfect example of how Origin’s internal doors can be used creatively, not only to divide space, but to define it. Whether paired with bold finishes or more subtle schemes, the OI-30 offers a versatile, design-led solution for all homes.
The final result, a space that feels calm, cohesive, and expertly curated, with the internal door acting as a functional work of art in its own right.
