While renovating a property, I was faced with a bedroom with 3 doors along one wall; a very narrow door to the ensuite, a floor to ceiling cupboard door and the entrance to the room. All 3 were different sizes and looked very inconsistent.
I decided that I needed to bring some uniformity to this row of doors, so I searched for doors which came in multiple widths (and also a glazed option for elsewhere in the property) which was a challenge on a tight budget but eventually found a range in B&Q which had the standard 762 width for the main door and 610 widths for the ensuite and the cupboard. The current ensuite and cupboard doors weren't quite the right sizes so my joiner slightly widened the ensuite door and boarded the top of the cupboard door to create a standard door height and made the door slightly narrower. As you can see below, the cupboard is actually only strange access to the rear of the ensuite shower with about 3 inches of storage space so losing a small amount of the access to this was no problem.
Once the new frames were in place and the surrounding wall plastered the new doors were hung, creating a much more unified feel to the room. It would have been nicer to have extended the two narrower doors but it just wasn't possible, so I feel this was the next best option.
