Are internal glass doors due a come back?

Our internal doors need replacing and will probably go for cottage style doors. I am wondering about a half glazed door for the kitchen (similar to the picture).

I grew up in the 90s when there were lots of these about and am aware they can seem dated… but we have a lovely sunny hall and a dark north facing kitchen so a glass door seems like a good option.

The only time it would be closed is when I’m cooking so I suppose the kids will just come and press their grubby little faces against it.

Does anyone else have glass doors that they love?

My house has 15 pane glazed doors throughout the whole of the downstairs apart from the loo. It’s so much lighter. My house is New England style and it goes well

Are they the same as solid wooden doors for keeping heat in when it's cold?

Probably not as good as a solid door, but the doors we'd replaced were spit through thin marine ply with cardboard filler,bloody awful cheap & nasty things. The glass in ours is quite thick, it's not clear planes or frosted it's kind of wavy textured glass if you know what I mean I don't know the right name for it 😊 My living room feels toasty warm with the heating on and the two glass doors though, they must be ok or we'd have changed them. We've had them for 25 years now. They were plain unvarnished pine when they arrived and we put an oak varnish on them which is lovely
