Color design of doorways is not limited to plain solutions. There are many other variations to create a sophisticated look of the door. In order for the product not to look alright and tasteless, it is necessary to remember how to choose and combine colors with each other correctly.

A favorite technique is the contrast. It implies a combination in the surface of the product of opposite shades of tone. The classic version - the contrast of dark and light. Wooden structures with glass use light and dark brown shades of wenge. Contrast is usually made between the door arch and the surface of the product itself. The arch is often decorated in dark colors, while the door remains light.

Often the doors are two-color from different sides. This solution is resorted to if two adjacent rooms are decorated in different styles. In such a case, it is important to remember about the compatibility of colors, so that in the open form the design looks presentable. For greater harmony, you can create a similar ornament on both sides or add glass texture to the product.

The noble shade of “black apricot” is in harmony with the delicate shades of blue, while the color of ivory is combined with chestnut, and black with red.

Some styles use multi-colored models, the area of ​​which is divided into color zones. Such products can be made out even in acid colors, combine turquoise and yellow, pink and green shades.

For two colored doors that are close to each other, you can use the geometry technique and apply figures of the same shape. This is done so that the design of products does not differ too much from each other, and the doors of different rooms look harmoniously in a common space.

When choosing a shade of an interior or entrance door, it is important to consider the factors of compatibility of the product with the rest of the interior and the surroundings.

Entrance design in a private house should certainly be combined with its facade, exterior coating and a porch. Usually the door lining is chosen so that it contrasts, but at the same time it looks harmoniously with the finishing material.Often the doorway is provided with a small visor that protects against weather effects. The colors are in most cases brown, beige or red, but if the house itself is decorated in bright colors, it is allowed to choose a colored door.

Interior doors must be in harmony with the walls, floor, baseboards and furniture. Models can be chosen according to the principle of contrast with the walls. Then they should be close in color to the floor. The material is also an important factor in compatibility with the situation. The laminate in the room is much better suited for a door made of solid wood than a plastic product. It is more difficult to choose a product for linoleum, because it is not easy to achieve harmony of textures.

If you picked up the door to match the walls or want to mask the products in the wall, the color of the floor does not play such an important role. However, it must be taken into account if the door panel has an ornament. The compatibility of the pattern with the colors used in the floor covering will provide a more presentable appearance of the product.

When the furniture set is installed in the room, its compatibility with the door surface is imperative. A product from the same array is selected for a wooden headset, while for plastic furniture it is often necessary to choose a door in one of two colors used in the interior.

Often, door designs are supplied with additional elements that make them original and even exclusive.

Products made of light materials are covered with a patina, which can be used with wood carving and gilding. Patina gives the surface an unusual ebb and effect of time.

A huge number of models of different colors are equipped with glass inserts. In most cases, frosted glass is used, which plays an exclusively decorative role. Sometimes transparent glass plates are embedded in the door.

For some products, photo printing technology is used, which covers the surface of the door with drawings in various colors and makes it truly exclusive.Photo printing can be located on the entire surface of products or only on one of its parts - the top or bottom.

The color and texture of doors largely depend on the style in the interior. Classic and modern differ significantly from each other. And even the styles of one time period have their individual features.
