A Dutch door is a door split horizontally into two independent sections, so the top half can open on its own while the bottom half stays shut.
This design dates back to 17th-century Netherlands, where farmhouses used the split to solve a handful of everyday problems at once: Fresh air and light could move through the open top while livestock, weather, and small children stayed on the other side of the closed bottom. The style crossed the Atlantic with Dutch settlers, and it’s remained in use ever since.
Homeowners today use Dutch doors for many of the same practical reasons, plus a few new ones. They add a distinct, farmhouse-inspired look to a front entry or mudroom and work well at a kitchen entry, where a parent can keep an eye on kids or pets without leaving the door wide open. They also suit a nursery or laundry room, where airflow matters but full access does not.

A Dutch door is split horizontally so the top half can open independently of the bottom half. It is used at entries, kitchens, nurseries and utility rooms.
