Thank you for your thoughts. I plan to leave the doors open all the time though. They will only be closed on a rare occasion.

Have you checked to see if your chosen door is available in that width?

If they will be open all the time, why the question about width?

Thanks for the comment. I can order them in that width, but I thought the doors might look to narrow when opened up into the primary bedroom. They will be open all the time and want to make sure they will look nice aesthetically (won’t look too narrow).

Many times double door hardware is clunky and fiddly (those are architectural terms).

When providing double doors, I try to size the doors so only one door needs to be open to pass through the doorway and only one hand needs to be used.

If the doors, when closed, fill the door opening, why would they look too narrow when open and resting against the bedroom wall? Are you thinking the opening should be larger? To judge that we would need to see the plan.

"French doors" have one or more glass panes the full height of the doors. If that's the case, tell us the configuration of the panes and the width of the stiles and rails.

They are actually solid paneled double doors, not French doors. My mistake. The opening size is 2880. I am concerned that the two 16” doors might look too narrow when they are open and are flat against a 14’ wall.

Why do you want to emphasize the threshold between bedroom and bathroom?

I’ve seen them open into the primary bedroom and thought they looked nice. The doors were placed in a 3080 opening though. I need to use a 2880 opening to have ample space for furniture placement.

Double doors into a bedroom always seems pretentious to me. Sounds like you are a strong candidate for a single door.

I am concerned that the two 16” doors might look too narrow when they are open and are flat against a 14’ wall.

Others might be able to understand your concern, but you will need to attach your plan, or at least the part that shows the bed and bath.

If you only had a single door, would you have the same issue with furniture placement?

Also what is the style of the rest of the house?

While I certainly do not see anything "pretentious" about these doors to my bedroom, lol, I do wish that we could have used a single door. But because of the layout, I did not want a wider single door sticking out past the bedroom opening. My husband sleeps later than I do, and we also sleep with the doors closed. The doors are noisier to open/close, so I always wake him when leaving the room. They are also less sound proof than a single door.

The opening to our bedroom is 36", and the doors are not quite 18" wide each. Perhaps you can judge how your doors will look by the width of these doors.

The entrance from our bedroom into the bathroom has a pocket door that is rarely closed unless I am getting ready before DH gets up. Frankly, I'd rather have two doors that I can lightly bring together to block out the light rather than fooling with the heavy 36" pocket door. I know it sounds contradicting to what I wish for the bedroom entrance doors 😄, but I would not have to close the bathroom doors all of the way. The sinks are around the corner from the entrance, and the toilet room has it's own 36" solid, single door. The shower is directly across from the opening, but I rarely use it in the early mornings.

Thank you so much for the photos. I had considered a pocket door as well but hadn’t thought about the convenience of pulling the doors together to control light when needed. I certainly appreciate your thoughts!

I don't understand how 2 door leafs that fit the given opening when closed could look too narrow when open.

There might be a width below which raised and/or arch-top paneled doors seem forced or odd but I don't believe you've revealed the design of the paneling.

In order to resolve a visual issue with the doors we need to know what they look like. IMO flat peneled doors would be best with or without decorative sticking.

The doors will look similar to the photo below.

I am concerned that the two 16” doors might look too narrow when they are open and are flat against a 14’ wall.

Like this?

To me the only odd thing is how narrow the raised panels are. I would use flat panel doors with the same sticking if that's possible.

What doors are you using?

Yes, I’m not sure of the brand, but they will look like the ones drawn. I’ve decided to either go a 3080 opening with double doors or a 2880 with a single door. Thank you to everyone for the help. I really it!

Flat panel with same sticking as other doors.
