Standard hinged door dimensions: everything you need to know
Choosing an interior door is never a decision to be taken lightly. This architectural element defines the style of a room, guarantees privacy and contributes to the overall harmony of the space. Understanding the standard measurements for hinged doors is the first step towards a flawless interior design project that combines aesthetics, functionality and cost optimisation.
Whether you are renovating or building from scratch, knowing the conventional dimensions allows you to navigate the various options on the market with confidence, planning every detail with precision. In this article, we will explore everything you need to know about interior door dimensions to make an informed and visually striking choice.
Standard measurements for hinged doors
When it comes to interior door sizes, there are widely used standard measurements that meet most housing needs. These sizes have been defined to ensure ease of installation and availability of products.
Generally, the standard height for an interior hinged door is between 200 and 210 cm. The width, on the other hand, varies according to the function of the room:
- 70 cm or 80 cm: these are the most common widths for bedrooms, studies and living rooms. They allow for easy passage and fit perfectly into most rooms.
- 60 cm: a smaller size, often used for bathrooms, storage rooms or utility rooms where space is limited.
However, modern architecture is increasingly moving towards customised solutions. For those who want to go beyond the standard, it is possible to opt for made-to-measure hinged doors. Ermetika meets this need with solutions that allow you to create full-height doors that reach the ceiling for a dramatic effect of great breadth and majesty.
When to choose a standard or customised size
The decision between a standard size door and a customised solution depends mainly on the architectural characteristics of the space and your stylistic aspirations.
A standard size is the most suitable choice for most residential environments, where doorways have been built according to building conventions. This option is practical, efficient and guarantees a wide choice of models and finishes available on the market. Standard size interior doors are the ideal solution for those seeking a balance between quality, aesthetics and budget.
On the other hand, a customised solution becomes necessary when dealing with openings that are unconventional, wider, narrower or taller than standard. Customised hinged doors are perfect for:
- Large openings: to create an impressive entrance between two rooms.
- Spaces with very high ceilings: where a full-height door can enhance the verticality and spaciousness of the room.
- Building renovations and refurbishments: in historic contexts where the dimensions of the openings are not standardised.
Ermetika's flush solutions, such as the Absolute Swing flush hinged door, offer maximum design freedom. They allow you to create doors that are perfectly flush with the wall, without visible jambs or frames, and can be customised in height and width to blend discreetly and elegantly into any setting.

Advantages of standard sizes
Choosing doors with standard sizes offers a number of concrete advantages that are worth considering during the design phase.
The first benefit is undoubtedly their easy availability. Manufacturers and retailers have a large stock of standard-sized doors, drastically reducing waiting times. This translates into faster installation, allowing you to meet the deadlines of a construction or renovation project.
Another significant advantage is the low cost. The mass production of standard doors allows for process optimisation and cost reduction, making these products more affordable than customised solutions, which require craftsmanship and ad hoc design.
The Ermetika xREVERx reversible flush swing door perfectly meets these needs: it is always available in stock, and thanks to the reversible system, you can easily customise the structure and reverse the opening direction (push or pull, right or left) with a simple gesture.
Final considerations
In addition to size, there are other important factors to consider when choosing the perfect hinged door for your space.
One of the fundamental aspects is the direction of opening, which can be push or pull, with hinges positioned on the right or left. The choice depends on the layout of the furniture, the presence of switches and the optimisation of passageways. A door that opens in the correct way improves the fluidity of movement and the functionality of the environment.
Furthermore, the possibilities for aesthetic customisation are endless. Doors can be embellished with glass inserts, which allow natural light to pass between rooms, creating bright and airy atmospheres. Finishes can range from matt or glossy lacquer to wood essences, with the option of painting the door the same colour as the wall, as allowed by Ermetika's flush-to-wall solutions, for a highly refined camouflage effect.
Whether you opt for the reassuring standard sizes of hinged doors or the boldness of a bespoke solution, the important thing is to choose a product that reflects your vision of home: a place where design, comfort and personality blend in perfect harmony.
