Small doors keep your layouts feeling dense and lived-in—lots of little spaces, quick turns, and hard choices about who goes first. Use them to create tension in close quarters and to make exploration feel granular.
Usage Tips
- Chain small rooms with thin walls for inns, manors, barracks, and shop interiors.
- Hide secrets in plain sight by placing a small door off a short corridor or behind clutter.
- Boost readability by adding a wall torch near key doors the party will revisit.
- Mix materials: wood walls for town buildings, stone walls for dungeon annexes and service tunnels.
Great for: bedrooms, offices, storage closets, narrow dungeon side rooms, and hidden back passages.
