Doors not only delimit the space inside the house, they are an important element of the interior. This article will tell you how to correctly choose the color of interior doors.

How to choose the right one?

There is no single rule for choosing the color of interior doors. However, there are some basic guidelines that can help you with this issue. By choosing one of the options, you will be able to competently fit the door structures into any setting without violating the integrity and harmony of the interior.

Under floor covering

Many designers advise to choose the shade of the door based on the color of the floor:

• If the flooring in all households has the same tone, you can install the same doors everywhere, easily achieving complete harmony.
• The ideal choice would be to match an identical shade. Options are also allowed a little lighter or darker, but in the same range.
• If in all rooms the floor has a different color, you can try to find a general neutral option for decorating doorways.

As for the texture of the doors, it must also match the flooring:

• If it is a laminate, parquet or linoleum, the color of which imitates one of these materials, then the door leaf should be chosen in similar shades "wood-like".
• If tiles are laid on the floor or the technology of self-leveling floors is applied, and the interior has a modern style, the doors can be monochromatic. Both matte and glossy textures will look equally good here.

If the floor in the rooms, kitchen and other parts of the house is made in completely different colors, but all the doors open into one hallway, you can choose their color, focusing on the floor of the uniting room. A good solution would be to order door panels of the same color with different designs.

So that there is no color imbalance inside the rooms, the shade of the door leaves can be continued with matching skirting boards or some furnishings.

For wall decoration

Choosing doors to match the color of the walls is not a very popular practice, especially in multi-room apartments and houses.

If there is only one room in the house, this approach can be quite interesting:

• A small room can be visually enlarged by decorating the walls in light colors (painting or wallpaper). A door of the same color will enhance the effect.
• Lovers of bright colors can create a cheerful atmosphere in the room by pasting wallpaper with a print on the walls and complementing the composition with a door in the color of this print.
• A uniform color scheme for doors and walls can also favorably emphasize a modern, minimalistic design. Usually these are cold tones (gray, blue and others).

• The snow-white color of the walls and doors looks harmoniously in the romantic shabby chic style.
• One of the latest novelties that has already gained popularity is the invisible door. This design is a door leaf without platbands with a hidden door frame. Usually these are models intended for painting, allowing you to give the door color and texture identical to the walls. This enhances the mystical effect, in which the doorway seems to disappear when the sash is closed.

In all these cases, it is important to remember that the shade of the floor should be significantly different from the color of the walls, creating an effective contrast.

Under furniture

Sometimes the color of the door structure is matched to large pieces of furniture. In the living room, this can be a set, including a wardrobe, shelving and other items, or a large wall. In the bedroom, it can be a bed with a wooden headboard, bedside tables, a chest of drawers.

In these cases, the shade can also perfectly match the selected one or deviate from it by a couple of tones.

To create a more interesting interior, choose canvases with various inserts. This is especially true for dark shades. When choosing a wenge door for the same set of furniture, you risk getting a too gloomy and even depressing interior. Glass elements will make the furnishings lighter and more elegant.

Despite the logic of this method of selecting doors, it is not very practical. Indeed, door structures are often installed for many years, while the headset can quickly change to another.

It is worth focusing on the shade of the furniture only when you are absolutely sure that you will not change it in the next few years.

Styles

When choosing the color of doors to a room, kitchen or other room, it is important to consider their design. The most suitable set of shades depends on what style is created in an apartment or a private house:

• White color. White doors are full of virtues. They create a feeling of lightness, fill the room with light, visually making it larger. Depending on the design of the white door structure, it can be added to any interior.

Wood models with a pronounced structure are ideal for shabby chic and Provence styles. Options with exquisite patterns, gilding, curly platbands can complement a luxurious classic interior. Doors with a laconic design will perfectly fit into any of the modern styles.

• Neutral tones. Natural calm shades (beige, cream, hazel, sand) create a pleasant home environment. They unobtrusively complement the interior without annoying or attracting much attention. These colors also visually transform the room, making it lighter and more comfortable.

The neutral warm range is versatile, easy to combine with any tones. Light doors are often used in classic interiors. They also look great in eco, modern, provence and even minimalism styles.

One of the most popular options for wood texture is the shade "bleached oak".

• Brown shades. Dark brown doors look elegant and austere. They can be a noble addition to a classic interior or create a spectacular contrast in a modern setting.

Typically, for classics, models of warm brown tones are chosen. In modern interiors, a trendy shade of wenge, reminiscent of the color of dark chocolate, is preferable. Often, doors in dark colors are also used in the loft style. Such models often appear in the form of untreated wood or hand-painted metal.

• Cool colors (black, gray, etc.). Door designs in cool colors are ideal for modern design trends.
• The gray color is neutral. Light gray wooden doors are appropriate in Provence and Shabby chic styles. The modern interior allows any shades of gray, any texture and design of paintings.

• Door constructions black the colors fit no less effectively into the aesthetics of minimalism and high-tech style. Black doors are especially effective in glossy finish.
• Bright... Juicy colors in the doorway are a bold decision. Such doors are original and even shocking. They are able to revive the most modest interior, give the room a unique character. However, before choosing this option, you should think about whether you will get bored with this bright detail in a couple of months.

In terms of styles, usually red, yellow, blue and other colored designs fit into modern, boho and mixed interiors.

As a rule, the shade of the door in this case is combined with some furnishings (upholstered furniture, textiles, carpets, etc.).

• If both dark and light doors fit equally well into your interior, then make a choice based on the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe premises. For a small apartment, light colors are more suitable. Dark shades, on the other hand, can aggravate the lack of space and, even with a neutral design of walls and floors, will "put pressure" on people. In the spacious halls, any designs are appropriate; here everything depends only on personal taste.
• It is not recommended to combine cold and warm colors in the same room. Sometimes such a union looks very harmonious, but in order to catch this fine line, a professional look is needed. Therefore, it is better to refrain from experimenting and, when choosing a door, adhere to this advice.
• If you want to choose the color of the doors based on the style of the room, but the style of the rooms is different, and the doors lead to one corridor, then it is better to focus on the shade of the floor (laminate, parquet) or the walls of the hallway.

If the use of skirting boards indoors to maintain color balance does not suit you, there are other options:

• You can order each side of the door to be finished in different shades of veneer. This manufacturing method requires time and significant financial investments. But in the end, you will achieve a flawless appearance of each of the premises.
• Paintable doors are another good option. You can paint each side of the product yourself in your own color, ideally suited to your wishes.
• Another method of transforming the door leaf is the use of decorative stickers. They are glued to the product like wallpaper, changing it beyond recognition. This option will allow you not only to change the color of the doors, but also to apply any photos and drawings to their surface.

Images of blooming gardens, night cityscapes or shady alleys can make the entrance to the room a real highlight of the decor.

The question of choosing the color of interior doors most often arises at the final stage of the renovation, when the main decoration has already been completed. And despite the variety of models, materials and shades, it is not always easy to dwell on something specific. We will tell you what principles can be followed when choosing the color of doors and what combinations are offered by professional designers.

Why choose the color of interior doors?

There are several basic options for combining the shade of the doors with the rest of the interior:

• selected based on the shade of the floor. This is a universal option, in which it is easiest to create a common image in the interior. It is also considered the most popular because in many apartments and houses the floor in all rooms often either has the same color or is made in the same color scheme. Therefore, it is easiest to match the color of the doors to the flooring. Of course, in the kitchen and bathroom, floor tiles can be very different from parquet or laminate in the rest of the house, but this is also solvable - we will describe the options for "combining" different colors of finishes below.

• The color of the interior doors is matched to the wall decoration. This technique works great in an interior where all rooms are made in the same color scheme (for example, from light beige to yellow). However, if you are inclined to change, and like to update the wallpaper or paint the walls every few years, this option is not very suitable. The next time you are looking for a redecoration, you will need to consider the color of the doors, and this will limit your choice of interior decoration.

• The shade of the door is selected taking into account the color of the furniture. This technique works great if your entire apartment is decorated in the same style and the furniture in all rooms is close in color or is in the same range. At the same time, it is not necessary that the doors match the basic tone of the furniture - it is enough for their shade to resonate with its individual elements.

• Doors of the same color with windows are a very rational and practical option, especially for private houses. With this option, you can update the interior as many times as you like, but there will always be elements that "support" each other. White windows are most often installed in apartments, therefore doors of this universal color also perfectly fit into any setting.

In addition to these basic options, there is another interesting solution, very often used by European and American designers: the same color of doors, platbands and floor plinths throughout the apartment. By choosing this option, you can create a coherent image not only in one of the rooms, but throughout the house at once. This technique works great when you need to tie together different styles and interiors in different rooms.

Basic principles for choosing the color of interior doors

After you decide what exactly you want to match the color of the doors with, you will need to choose the right combination of shades. To create a beautiful and stylish interior without the help of designers, follow one of the proven rules:

1. One color: if possible (for example, when choosing doors to match the shade of the floor or windows throughout the house), you can purchase doors of the same shade.
2. One range: if there is no basic tone, choose doors in the same color range. Also, do not forget that warm shades should be combined with warm ones, and cold shades with cold ones.

1. Overall shade: If the furniture, flooring and wall finishes in all rooms are different, find a “cohesive” shade that will resonate with the elements in each room. If there is no such shade somewhere, you can easily add it with the help of accessories and decor - for example, hang photographs or paintings on the walls within the desired color, choose vases or flower pots to match, etc.
2. Contrasts and perfect combinations: If you're not afraid to experiment, you can choose doors that will contrast with the floor and walls, but at the same time form a successful "pair". Just as two colors are often chosen for furniture, such combinations can be used here. In this case, platbands or plinths can become the connecting link of the style, and the door itself will be a contrasting accent.

Also, when choosing a color, do not forget that the lighter the doors, the visually more spacious the room will be, and dark colors, on the contrary, will sharply limit it. Therefore, for small apartments, white and light beige models are more suitable than black and wenge.

Interior door color and interior style

There are no strict rules about which door shades are suitable for different design styles. The model itself and the finish of the door are much more important here. But it is also impossible not to take into account the style of the interior. Agree, red or green doors in a classic interior will look out of place, even if these colors are present in the decoration. Therefore, it is better to use the proven options:

• For interiors in luxurious styles - classic and neoclassical, baroque, rococo, provence and others, very light or, on the contrary, noble dark shades are most often used. White, light oak, ivory, wenge, dark walnut, even black and dark gray: these colors perfectly highlight such styles. Models with gold or silver patina, rich finishes and antique-styled fittings look perfect.

• In interiors in country style, shabby chic, eco, chalets, as well as in certain ethnic areas, preference should be given to natural wood colors: from the lightest to the darkest. "Warm" shades from light walnut to reddish-red are perfect here. These colors allow you to make the interior more homey and cozy.

• In modern styles - modern, minimalism, hi-tech, loft - “pure” cold colors prevail: white, black, all shades of gray, as well as deep versions of rich dark colors (anthracite, navi, burgundy, etc.). Most often, models are chosen with a smooth surface, without a pronounced texture and decorative elements.

• In interiors in daring styles (pop art, kitsch, fusion), as well as in some ethno-designs (Mediterranean, Moroccan, Mexican, etc.), there is a place for doors in bright colors - blue, green, red, purple and others.

Should all interior doors be the same color?

It is not always possible to finish the whole apartment at once: when you live in an apartment all the time, the rooms are usually updated gradually, and the break between repairs can be from several months to a couple of years. In such cases, many people think about whether it is necessary to purchase identical doors. In fact, do not be afraid that the apartment will look tasteless if not all doors in it are the same. The only rule that is best observed is to select the same models for those parts of the apartment where the doors are located next to each other.

For example, in typical city apartments, the doors to the toilet, bathroom and rooms are located in one "corner" of the corridor. It is clear that in this case it is better to buy interior doors not only of one color, but also from the same collection. If this is not possible, choose models in one color and from one material, with the most similar design. At the same time, the rest of the doors may differ if they are not located in the same field of view.

In private houses, the same principle applies - adjacent doors in one closed space should be of the same or similar models, but at the same time, the style and design may differ on different floors and in different parts of the house.

If you are not sure of the choice and doubt how harmoniously this or that color will fit into the interior, you can always check it - just take a photo of the room, and in any graphic editor "substitute" the selected options. This way you can see which one works best. And don't forget that you can always ask us for advice.

Separation of space by installing interior partitions is a mandatory requirement while ensuring the proper level of comfort. Quite often, when carrying out repairs, little attention is paid to this element. As a rule, doors are chosen intuitively, and as a result, they fall out of the general ensemble, discordant with other objects. In order to prevent such manifestations, it is important to choose shades, texture and design in advance. Use our recommendations to make the right decision without assistance.

The laws of choosing the color of the floor - a combination of elements of the house

The floor covering forms the basis for the formation of the overall interior of the room. All pieces of furniture are installed on it, and the main load is concentrated. To emphasize the style of the room, you need to choose a material that will be combined with all interior elements in tone and texture. It is important to remember that the choice also depends on the purpose of the room. For example, in the kitchen it is appropriate to install an easily washable practical covering (tiles, tiles), and for bedrooms and living rooms, more comfortable wood textures, realized through laminate and parquet, are relevant.

In general, floor color can lean in two directions. It features dark and light shades. Dark tones are considered more practical. They are less visible stains and dust. Mechanical damage and shape defects are visible on the white floor. Installation of floor coverings is a basic type of work during renovation. You will build on the selected material when choosing furniture options for interior decoration. So that the appearance of the floor does not contrast with the rest of the elements, the right combination should be thought out in advance.

Three players - floor, furniture and doors

A harmonious design is created by combining these three components. If one detail is incorrectly installed, then the general view turns out to be too boring or overly saturated. It will not be possible to examine doors, furniture and floor samples separately. The best solution is to install a door leaf, the shades of which will match the laminate palette. Furniture compositions play up the style of the room. If tiles and walls are permissible to be restrained, then other interior elements should create a lively environment.

Do not use decor and monochromatic materials. They will make the home boring and unsightly. The perception and psychological state of the household depends on the color scheme. It is important to make all rooms in the apartment overlapping with each other, but not the same. Do not strive for complete neutrality when choosing shades. Start from the purpose of the space and try to divide it into autonomous zones.

A bold solution focuses on individual details and creates an original design for the room. Contrasting design was once popular in fashion. Leave dark and light colors without other paints for the office. It is important to make the house cozy and light. To do this, it is enough to introduce a memorable bright accent with the help of accessories. Sometimes changing the background and freshening up the walls can help bring about an obvious change of scenery.

Single color rules

Often, users, following the path of least resistance, prefer choosing a solid color scheme for decorating a room. This is an almost infallible option that suits a beginner. To make the living space rich and creative, but not "lurid", the following rules will help:

• in decoration, it is permissible to use no more than three basic types of paint;
• working options - use one main and 3 varieties of shade;
• use the designer's palette showing acceptable combinations;
• use special software to design the design in advance;
• consider the patterns of warm and cold tones;
• do not combine different wood textures that are fundamentally different.

Even if monochromatic components are used in the interior, try to add a variety of textures. In this case, the largest volume is created for the walls. The texture of the coating and the color of the doors remains subdued. 70% of visual perception is formed at the sight of walls. Everything else is a supplement, and when choosing it, you must not "miss".

Combinations of different colors

To choose a door leaf of a certain color, it is enough to take advantage of existing trends. The following current shades are presented on the market:

• dark: cold gray, radical black, deep brown, burgundy, tending to mahogany (mainly used for laminate);
• light: radically white, beige, milky, yellow-red tones.

If you prioritize the cold palette of parquet or tiles, it is not recommended to install partitions with a warm texture. It is better to choose things in a similar range that have something in common with each other in a pattern or shade.

Door leaf

The color of the doors should stand out from the rest of the interior items. Floor painting can be carried out in the same, but more subdued tone. If the color of the floor is in the warm spectrum, then the walls and doors must meet this standard. In some cases, masking of outputs is required, which can be provided with a single color. Be careful with white. In addition to being impractical, it does not go well with other things, standing out against the background of the room's decor. Shades of gray, black, brown wood, as well as plastic doors are in trend.

In a living room setting, it is not necessary to install strong partitions. At the same time, they must meet a certain level of sound insulation in order to carry not only an aesthetic, but also a semantic load. The range of manufacturers has ready-made solutions for any occasion. It is only important to choose a product not from memory, focusing on the abstract appearance of the apartment, but to place an order, choosing the right samples from the catalog. Prioritize the correct selection of fittings that also resonate with the environment.

Dark or light floors?

In order to visually expand the room, dark floor colors are used. The door leaf against their background should not look radical. It is better to choose a product of a similar color scheme. One of the popular directions is the combination of a wenge-style door in a deep color with a dark shade of the floor and light walls. Dark skirting boards are also matched to such an ensemble. By the way, they play an important role in the composition, because they pave bridges between objects and create a single image of the room.

The light floor looks organically in the conditions of small country houses or apartments, decorated in the Provence style. Light tones combined with cool blues, grays and greens look interesting and rich. You can ensure the practicality and long service life of a white floor by installing a high-quality laminate. It is recommended to dilute the classics of black and white with the help of filling material and parquet with drawings. Experimental lovers use this trend to make their home original.

How to combine door and floor shades?

Most of them choose doors at the last stage of the renovation. After installation, it turns out that the colors of the partition come into conflict with the style of the room. In this case, it is important to accurately determine the shade of the product before purchasing. It should be one to two shades lighter than the flooring.

In this case, wood with different patterns does not matter, because the colors of the same range will be harmoniously combined. Many people prefer contrast. The combination of radically different types of wood in this case looks advantageous. When choosing interior items, you must adhere to the laws of cold and warm shades. If an obvious mistake has already been made, then it is easier to replace one of the parts that falls out of the picture.

Floor and doors: one color or one tone?

If you choose a monosyllabic scale for all things in the apartment, they will lose their significance and become absolutely nondescript. Avoiding extremes will allow choosing the right shade of walls, coatings and partitions. If the walls are painted in light colors, there is an option to emphasize this design with a darker floor and a partition in the middle spectrum. Dark coatings are harmoniously combined with doors that are one shade lighter. If the doors are darker than the bottom, skirting boards in the same color as the door will help create a parallel.

Paintable doors

The modern trend is the usual objects that dilute the gray dullness of the interior with live colors. A partition made in a combination of plastic and glass will help to put an accent in an everyday setting. This approach is especially valuable in an atmosphere of total tree domination. Doors made from natural materials can be made attractive by painting. Choose matte or glossy paints to bring a modern touch to the space.

Material combination

Harmony in the interior is impossible without the correct combination of textures of materials. Do not allow an abundance of objects of different structure, made of glass, metal, wood and fabric. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of experiments.

The perfect combination of wood and glass in the design will only benefit. At the same time, pieces of furniture in the room should overlap in components in order to create a single composition. Leave textiles for floor coverings and upholstered furniture. Highlight the floor for the laminate, and the walls can set off the whole look with texture and rich shade. Experiment to create a unique interior using the three-player rule.

Interior doors are an interior element that will serve their owner for ten or even 15 years. The colors of interior doors throughout these years will be a decisive factor for all subsequent changes and repairs. The choice should be approached as responsibly as possible, having studied the shade of the door both in the photo and in "live" samples.

Many are very interested in what should be guided in order to choose the right color for the door correctly. First of all, this choice depends on the characteristics of a particular interior. And the doors can be different - now we offer sliding, swing structures, models with complex elements. Also, materials and accessories differ significantly from each other. Often in building supermarkets, door models are presented, ranging from economy class to luxury products.

What influences the choice of color?

There are no strict rules. The selection of the appropriate color scheme in each situation depends on the tastes and preferences of the owner of the apartment or house. When choosing a color scheme, personal wishes will be the main factor. However, you can still identify several criteria that can be guided by.

These include the general style of the interior, flooring, colors of furniture items, walls, as well as the colors of platbands and skirting boards.

Choosing a door to the interior

When choosing, it is important to remember that the canvas must fit into the style of all rooms, and not just into the interior of a particular room. So, if all corridors, living rooms, halls are executed in the same color scheme, then the doors should be chosen in approximately the same style.

This is an ideal situation, but it is very rare. Often times, rooms are made in different ways, and this creates a torment of choice. The way out of this situation is quite simple - you should choose a door that will harmoniously match in color with the halls, corridors, living rooms and hallways.

Doors can perfectly fit into the overall style if they are the same in all rooms. The work of many professional designers is based on this principle. They argue that the same details and objects throughout the house or apartment help to perceive the room as a whole, and not to see only individual rooms in the apartment.

To choose the right interior doors, you should know some rules. So, neutral or natural colors of wood fit perfectly into any interior. This principle always works. He helped many to get out of the difficult situation of choosing doors. It is important to take into account the tone here - it can be light or dark.

Cold colors, as well as their shades, are inapplicable in classic interiors, but they can be successfully used for rooms made in the style of minimalism, hi-tech, techno.

A door in light colors is a more appropriate option for apartments and houses that have a modern interior design - this may be relevant for country or modern styles.

Dark colors are also an attribute of modern interiors. But it is very important that the tone must blend harmoniously with the overall contrast of the entire room.

A popular solution is white doors. This is a versatile option that fits anywhere and everywhere. These doors are ideal for any interior. The white door will not stand out, and the room with it will become visually lighter. White color will add positive and visually enlarge the space.

Choosing the color of the door leaf and starting from the color scheme of the entire interior, you can achieve an integral perception of an apartment or house. This approach is also important when it is necessary to achieve harmony in the color solutions of the room.

Door color to match the floor color: what you need to know

The same principle works here - the color of the laminate or any other flooring and interior doors must necessarily match within the entire apartment or house, and not individual rooms. If the range of floor coverings in different rooms is different, then it is recommended to choose one general tone that will harmoniously fit under each floor. However, this approach should only be used in cases where there is not much difference in tone.

If the laminate flooring is very different in different rooms, then it is better to stop at any one color after all. And in this case, you should choose one of the rooms. In order for the door to be combined with the interior in other rooms, where differences with the floor color are significant, furniture of the required color can be installed there. This method helps to get rid of general color inconsistencies.

If the color of the floors is different, but they are all light, then designers advise to choose door leaves of neutral colors. For dark floors, soft colors are recommended.

Furniture and its influence on the choice of door color

The choice of an interior door should match the color that prevails in the pieces of furniture. In this case, the door leaf should even be a little lighter. This is necessary so that the canvas does not stand out, but can be harmoniously combined with the overall range.

The same problem can arise here as with the floors - different tones or shades in the rooms. Then some general color should be chosen. However, if the difference is large, then it is better not to carry out experiments, but to make the choice according to any other criterion.

Choosing a door to match the color of the walls

We looked at how to choose the color for interior doors in different situations. But there is also the option of matching the color of the doors to the walls. This method is used only in cases where the color of furniture and floors is significantly different, but the walls of the entire apartment or house are made in the same range. Door dense can be chosen in the same color as the wall or any other suitable color.

Matching the color of the door to the plinth and platband

If there are certain difficulties with the selection of doors to match the color of the furniture or floor, then the situation can be solved with the help of skirting boards of the same tone. This is an original way out of the situation, which, moreover, will give the room a touch of sophistication.

We solve the problem in a universal way

If choosing the right door is difficult even with these tips, then there is another approach. Most buyers purchase veneered doors. Such canvases on the one hand can have one color, on the other - a different one. In addition, according to individual orders, manufacturers will make doors of absolutely any color and even with a pattern.

This option is very effective, however, you will need to pay extra for such an order.

Choosing the color of interior doors is a completely independent decision. If you need a combination of some colors, then it is recommended to use the above tips.

It doesn't matter at all by what criterion the door will be chosen. You just need to remember that in the absence of a choice of color in one way, you can apply other options.

Using these simple tips, buyers will not have to worry about the color of the door not matching the interior color scheme of the house or apartment.

Currently, interior doors have not only the function of protecting from prying eyes, drafts, odors and noise, but also have aesthetic beauty. Thanks to the coloring, the door leaves create harmony with the overall interior, give a special atmosphere and even affect the mood and well-being. Therefore, it is so important to assess the room environment and choose the right color for the interior doors.

Popular colors

Doors almost always change the overall interior of the room beyond recognition due to the shade. Today, interior products are divided into light, dark and unusual colors:

• Light shades. The most popular light shades are pale gray, snow-white, ash, ivory and beech. Such doors are a versatile option that is in harmony with any interior.

Such popularity is quite understandable, because light door panels visually enlarge the room, create the effect of festivity, elegance and at the same time lightness and comfort. All of these tones have a positive effect on psychological health and mood.

If, for some reason, light interior doors seem impersonal and boring, then it is recommended to purchase products with additional elements. For example, patterns made of gilding, bronze, glass inserts or unusual handles.

• Dark shades. Of the popular dark shades, brown, black, wenge, chestnut, dark oak can be distinguished. These colors add sophistication, modernity and presentability to the room. They catch the eye and become the central piece of the interior.

It should be noted that dark shades should not be purchased in a small room or study. Since, thanks to such door panels, the premises become gloomy and cramped.

• Unusual tones. Fans of bold solutions appreciate the interior products in original colors. For example, a bright red door gives a unique vintage style and harmonizes the overall interior of the room. Elegant and graceful blue easily fits into the classics, and bright, rich yellow color cheers up and fights blues.

For a long time, door leaves were not considered an important item in an apartment or house, but now, when a wide range of models appears on the construction market, people pay more attention to shades, texture and additional door decors.

Correct and unusual combinations with floors, walls and furniture with decor will emphasize the design and create a harmonious space.

With floor

Very often, the owners of an apartment or office select the shade of the product, focusing on laminate, linoleum and other floor coverings. In this case, a single color scheme will be considered the most interesting and advantageous position. But if the room has a white or gray ceiling, and the floor is dark enough, then the door must be purchased one or two tones lighter than the coating, thereby smoothing the style of the room.

An interesting combination is considered to be parquet or mahogany linoleum and an interior door with a slight shade of red. It also happens that tiles, laminate or linoleum and the whole furnishings in the apartment are quite light. In this case, the door product also needs to be purchased in a light shade. For example, alder, beech, ash, ivory. If it seems that the style is nondescript and boring, then the door must be diluted with elements of wood, plastic or glass.
