Fluted Designs in Interiors
Historical Significance
Fluting, the art of carving shallow grooves into surfaces, carries profound significance in both architecture and decorative arts. Traditionally seen as curved grooves on column shafts or pilasters, fluting serves to enhance visual allure. Moreover, it skillfully manipulates light, creating a rounded effect, minimising horizontal joints, and imparting a sense of perfect roundness to columns. This technique also imparts an appearance of increased gracefulness, particularly in the realm of stone architecture.
A mainstay in ancient Greek architecture, fluting played a crucial role in the Doric order and was optional in the Ionic and Corinthian column design. Although its prevalence waned in Roman and medieval European architecture, a resurgence occurred during the Renaissance and Neoclassical eras. Today, fluting remains a prevalent feature in more significant buildings, adding to the rhythmic design elements that define modern aesthetics.
Timeless Appeal
The enduring allure of fluted designs lies in their ability to transcend eras gracefully. Through the ages, fluting has adorned furniture and panelling, adding a touch of luxury to palatial interiors.
In the Art Deco era, it seamlessly blended with streamlined, geometric aesthetics. Today, interior designers turn to fluted patterns for their timeless charm, capable of elevating any space.
Modern Interpretations
In contemporary design, fluted elements are experiencing a revival, becoming a hallmark for designers marrying tradition with modernity. Whether accentuating walls, gracing kitchen cabinetry, or defining bespoke furniture, fluted designs contribute texture and visual intrigue. Modern interpretations play with scale and placement, creating dynamic focal points within a space.
Fluted Architecture and Furniture in Modern Interiors
The resurgence of fluted designs extends beyond tradition, permeating modern interiors. Architects and designers experiment with fluted glass, metalwork, and fabrics. Fluted glass partitions define spaces, while fluted metal accents bring an industrial edge to contemporary aesthetics. The adaptability of fluted patterns showcases their versatility in minimalist, maximalist, and eclectic design schemes.
Doorsan's Fluted Collection
As we explore the history and evolution of fluted designs, it's clear that Doorsan's Fluted Collection embraces this rich heritage. Blending timeless motifs with contemporary living, Doorsan presents a collection honouring tradition while setting a new benchmark for modern luxury.
Innovation in Design
Doorsan's Fluted Collection blends classic charm and modern design, perfect for high-end residential interiors. Our design team has seamlessly integrated the timeless appeal of fluting into a contemporary context. These doors don't just enhance aesthetics; they bring sophistication to any room, from grand entrances to intimate spaces.
Similarly, if you prefer our Fluted design in a glazed option, we can accommodate that. The beading on our glazed doors also allows for pocket system installations, and our door core construction ensures a seamless finish without any visible fixings. Designed for accuracy and practicality, these doors are the ideal choice for luxury residential interior designers.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Crafted with meticulous precision and care, our Fluted design exemplifies the use of premium materials in its construction. The timber door leaf, serving as the core of each doorset, combines the strength and stability of natural wood, mitigating common issues like warping.
Solid timber lippings, discreetly concealed beneath a thick layer, prevent edge blowout, ensuring an exceptional level of quality. The frames, thoughtfully designed to complement the Fluted door leaf, provide both structural support and aesthetic appeal with concealed fixings. Hinges, including optional 3D concealed hinges, ensure smooth and silent operation, while high-quality locks and latches prioritise security, seamlessly blending beauty with safety.
Versatile Design Options
Discover endless possibilities with our bespoke options for the Fluted design. Carefully selected for their quality and aesthetics, our luxury finishes and panel choices provide you with the freedom to craft a door that seamlessly aligns with your vision for the space.
Panel Options
Elevate your interiors with a choice of panel options, ranging from timeless two-panel designs to more elaborate configurations with up to six panels. Doorsan's commitment to versatility ensures that you can tailor the Fluted doors to seamlessly integrate with various interior styles.

Smooth Paint Finishing
At Doorsan, we pride ourselves on crafting exclusive products with finishes that distinguish them from the market norm. Our unwavering commitment to longevity and durability ensures that our paint finishes not only enhance the aesthetics of our products but also guarantee resilience.
