WOOOOW!!! What a truly impressive home and interior design. Very beautifully put together! Thank you very much for sharing your project, it looks amazing. The Hamptons style is definitely a style that oozes a lot of understated chic and effortless sophistication. Well done!

Lisa, it depends on how clever the person is who designs, details and installs the door, and what elements in the photo appeal to you. Judging from the adjacent doors it doesn't look like it is much bigger than a standard size door. If I was engaged to design it I would consider using one of the engineered flooring timbers, such as the ones made by Mafi, as a way to keep things lighter, cheaper and more stable, on a steel frame. http://www.mafi.com.au/domino-larch-vulcano-sanded-natural-oil/ Somebody else may use conventional planks of wood that have been planed then sanded smooth. Both ways are bespoke, so will cost big dollars, and probably not a job that would be covered by your standard carpenter. It would be a matter of working closely with a clever craftsman to get the best value. Do you like the door due to the height of the entry hall, or the character from the mismatched timbers? Is your entry hall as tall as the one in the photo? Is it the other elements in the photo, such as the amount of light flooding in from the sidelight and highlight windows that contribute to how you feel about it? At the end of the day the design and installation is a really important element to the entry of your home, so it is often worthwhile to spend a bit extra to get something special.

There are a number of challenges here that arise frequently, namely: The space is tight, and budget seems an issue. Door options: 1 sliding cavity door into robe- problem: people rarely bother to close them so often a pointless result 2 Hinged doors on the cabinetry-problem the galley you have is only 2000mm wide or even 2200mm. This will make it very tight if you plan to have hinged doors with both sides at 600mm carcass depth leaving either 800mm or 1000mm aisle. This will mean you don't have clearance for you and a door swing, assuming a door width of 500-600mm . You will find it very claustrophobic, and impossible with two people using it. 3 Sliding doors-these will limit your access to the interior and most people dislike them, however probably a workable solution- if you go this way, put the door track at 660mm not 600mm to clear suit jackets. 4 Enclose only one side of the wardrobe with doors and have the other for hanging which tend to be neater than the shelf items.(choose the side that is most visible from the front door. Depending on your ratio requirement of hanging to shelving/drawers, you might fit all hanging on one side then you can have drawers all along the lower section with shelving above with upper doors only. That way, the swing of the doors is easier as you don't need to clear your feet, only your upper body. Then gain bonus space in the area by making the enclosed cabinets only 400mm deep externally. Folded clothing folds to 360-380mm so don't waste the space with 600mm depth. Any additional hanging required on the enclosed wall is positioned distant to the entry and will be mainly out of view. This will save on doors, space and look tidy. It requires a custom build, the cost of this walk in robe in gloss melamine was around $7500.00 including design. Best of luck. The walk in below is 2000mm across, the first section on the left is 400mm deep for his shoes and drawers, the section on the right is 620mm deep. The distant section on the left is 600m providing space for hanging. That way the aisle in the first part is more generous and this tight space feels generouson the left we have his shoes behind doors and drawers below-at 400mm deep this makes the aisle more generous to cope with doors the photo below shows with door near the entry to conceal the"mess"from the walk way(see the appearance from the doorway in top photo), the hanging at the end is not visible at the entry we made the most of the full depth for shoes in our custom drawers

after attempting numerous variations i can't see any great advantages to an extra 1800 added on to the living area except to offer extra length and empty floor space to a room that is already big enough for all the basics but lacks wall space for storage and TV but, without a wide opening to the entry, you could have a couch arranged differently and a doorway to bed 3 would reduce storage and furniture options for both bedroom and lounge but, maybe the window in the lounge could be replaced with a cantilevered bay window with awning roof roof to create a bay window seat and the small extension could be better used to add a generous laundry which would allow more storage in the kitchen or a more generous bathroom as the only way i can find to keep a separate toilet is to move the existing toilet door to allow enough space to add a tiny handbasin to the existing toilet plus a door across the entry hall to add privacy from the front door another option for the master suite, would be to steal space off bed 2 to relocate all 3700mm of the original biw and use small freestanding wardrobes and/or chests of drawers for storage in the minor bedrooms...some varaitions for the bathroom and other ideas collected into one plan and you could also keep the original master bedroom for guests and invest in a spacious new master bedroom (with or without an ens) behind the new garage with access through the original bed 2 that could be used as a dressing room and whichever bathroom varaistion you prefer
