Doors Made of Walnut: Classic, Modern, Rustic Styles

Prized for its distinctive color patterns and lustrous patina that develops over time, Walnut is a favorite choice for custom wood doors in some of the most distinguished homes.

Walnut’s grain is mostly straight and open, although some boards may have a burled or curly pattern. Its color varies from a nearly white sapwood to a deep chocolate brown with purplish hues.

And Walnut is versatile, with designers choosing it for doors in traditional-style estates, sleek modern homes, and chic rustic retreats. Here are Walnut doors in three different styles.

Walnut three panel door with Rio Grande glaze finish

TF-0300-D045

This classic design features a top rail arch, three equal panels, and Walnut wood finished in Rio Grande glaze. The working transom is a brilliant detail that underscores the home’s traditional inspiration.

Walnut Straight Grain with clear coat finish

SQ-0000-F002

This sleek, modern door’s prominent feature is clearly the wood. Walnut’s straight grain pattern is accentuated by the horizontal orientation of the flush surface. A Clear Coat finish allows the natural color variation to shine.

One-panel Knotty Walnut door with dark custom glaze

SQ-0100-D001

One-panel doors made of knotty Walnut: one a traditional swing door, the other an impressive five-foot-wide by eight-foot-tall barn door. The knotty wood and dark custom glaze are a perfect complement in a rustic or industrial chic setting.
