Laminate doors

An interroom door is such a piece of interior that is first striking when entering a room, so its choice should be treated with the utmost attention. Its combination with floor laminate, walls and with other elements of the interior should be thoughtful and balanced.

As a rule, interior doors are installed at the final stage of repair or before the start of operation after laying the flooring. Experts believe this decision is correct. This makes it easier to choose the right door.

Interior doors affect the appearance of the interior of the room as a whole. For a successful combination of floor and doors, the rules of matching tones are applied: warm doors give a warm tone, and cold ones apply a cold one, and the law of the trinity, which will be discussed below. The door leaf should be lighter than the laminate or darker by several tones. You should not risk when choosing the same solution for the color of doors and laminate - you can get a dull interior, however, it can be used to advantage if the walls have a dark expressive color.

From the details of the interior with a competent design, the overall picture of the room is formed, where each of its elements is complemented by the other. Place the door as an object in the design of the room - one of the key. Having entered into its interior style, it should look immaculately, look good against the background of laminate flooring, furniture and materials used for wall decoration.

What colors of laminate and doors look best in combination so that the latter does not blend with the furnishings or irritate visual perception with excessive contrast? These and other features of choice are offered below.

Consider the most popular color options for interior doors:

• White. Interior solution for white interior doors should be modern and concise. The snow-white door perfectly harmonizes with the most different colors of wooden floors, linoleum and laminate. You just need to take into account that each color can have shades of warm and cold tones.

• Beige. This color familiar to the door can be well combined with light neutral tones of the floor covering similar to it: beige-milk, golden nut, white ash. But the use of a coating of reddish tone is contraindicated due to their extremely unsuccessful combination. Models of doors that have tones similar to beige are universal: they can be installed in the bathroom and in the hallway.

• Gray. It is a cold color and has several shades: dirty gray, milky, smoky. Great for rooms facing south and east. Suitable for laminate with shades of beige: beige-milk, milky-smoky, cream color. However, it is used extremely carefully, it is used in the interior, made in the classical style, and in modern directions of hi-tech, pop art.

• Brown. This popular color prevails in the number of shades: from light brown to dark chocolate.The same laminate will suit for it, but it is excellent in tone, in accordance with its taste.

• Nut. The doors of walnut tone perfectly fill the style of the interior for residential premises and offices. Dark walnut perfectly harmonizes with the laminate of the same color, but only of a lighter tone, as well as of a light oak or beech, giving the impression of a delicate and at the same time contrasting composition. Perfectly fit into any interior style, especially in country and modern.

Walnut doors with frosted glass inserts made in the form of geometric figures and with golden fittings look good in living rooms. They give the interior a finished, sophisticated look.

All over the world, designers, designing the interior of the room, observe the principle of trinity, allowing for the number of primary colors of the spectrum in the interior of the room to no more than three. The main role is played by one color chosen by taste, by purpose or expediency.Primary color can be selected, for example, for flooring. Then the second should harmoniously fit into the interior along with the first - these are interior doors.

There is one more color left - it can be used for walls. Well, decorative items installed in the room to their own taste (vases, lamps, carpets, deer horns) should fit into the decorated interior.

Once, only the economy class doors were painted, but times are changing, and even premium models are subject to coloring today. They can be made of ash, oak or other valuable wood species. On their hard surface there are practically no pores, and the paint is well applied without any preparation.

Coloring is better to produce covering (covering) paints with antiseptic properties. The choice of shades of any color of such doors will not require special efforts in the presence of a huge range of artificial and natural dyes for their preparation.

• Doors wenge colors because of their increasing popularity, it is necessary to single out particularly, because the demand for them is rapidly gaining momentum.The color of wenge got its name from the name of a tree growing in equatorial Africa, whose representatives in the wild nature comprise about forty varieties. The structure of the color of wenge is extremely diverse. In general, it can be described as brown with black veins. These paintings look inharmoniously next to the wenge laminate and do not like a sharp contrast.

For a classic interior, the color of wenge is better not to pick up. Most of all, it is suitable for high-tech style. Dark wenge in the interior can be present only in one quality - canvas or floor. However, traces of dust may appear on a dark glossy laminate that will impair its appearance. The best combination: the door is wenge, and the laminate is oak or dark oak.

The overall style of the interior design of the apartment is dominant relative to the rooms, made in a different style. If different laminate flooring is used in different rooms, then it is necessary to find the shade of the door leafs, universally combined with it. Here you can focus on neutral shades of light wood, ivory color and other tones or golden - alder, honey birch.You can get by with a special threshold in the doorway, combining their color range like a buffer.

Correctly find the color solution of the door and the laminate can be, using a harmonious combination of shades of each of their colors with a wall painted with paint or wallpaper color. We can not allow the merging of paintings and walls into one, so you need to highlight the contrast of the walls, choosing the right shade.

How and how should the unsuccessfully chosen color of the door be compensated? It can be compensated by the correctly chosen furniture. It should be lighter than the canvas by 4-5 tones. If dark furniture dominates the room, then the gloom of the interior that has arisen with it will help to eliminate the doors with inserted glass. And if you choose light furniture for the room (better than one color), then the door will need a similar light decor.

They will help to dilute too heavy, dark environment, to muffle the saturation of colors and give originality to a restrained interior.

When different styles of design for doors and laminate are used in an apartment, you can choose door leafs treated with different veneers. And its sides will correspond to the interior of two rooms at once. Their cost will be high, but such a solution will solve several problems at once in the design process.

We offer several recommendations of professional interior designers:

• The ability to create a visual illusion of increasing space by selecting the laminate and doors of the same key. Using contrasting colors will have the opposite effect. Larger rooms are more attractive for such solutions.
• Choosing interior doors, decorated in warm colors, you should likewise choose the laminate. The advantage of warm colors is their ability to conceal some of the shortcomings of interior design solutions. These shades include apricot, amber, natural wood color.And if the door leaf has shades of blue, light cream, turquoise, then the laminate should be similar in tone and have similar shades of cold in perception.

• Expensive neutral color laminate is a versatile solution for interior design. It will last up to 15 years, and redecoration during this time can be made repeatedly. Therefore, it is better to avoid exotic shades that severely limit the possibility of changing the interior during this period of time.
• We should not forget about the plinth, which combines the floor and the door. It can be chosen both in the color of the door and in the color of the floor, but, as a rule, it is darker than the last by 5-6 shades. Properly chosen plinth will allow to combine a canvas and a floor with a kind of frame into one whole, even if the differences between them are large. It looks good plinth, chosen for the color of the door, but the floor it should give a sense of contrast. White baseboards are harmoniously combined with a light floor and white trim.

• Platbands mounted on the door frame with door leaf can be purchased separately. They should be combined with the color of the floor covering.They are also chosen to match the color of the nut and the baseboard, and in more rare cases, and under the furniture.
• Very often there are several doors in the premises, for example, in the hallway. Being its front part, they are clearly visible who entered the apartment. They can be painted in one color with the wall. Then they will mix in the room between the walls and will not stand out. This will help ensure the correctness of their combination. This especially applies to large rooms.

• Choosing the door, pay attention not only to the color scheme, but also to the design style. The door, made in a classic style, can not be installed in a room where the laminate is decorated in modern style. The choice of the desired style can be left to a specialist.
• Fans of extravagant modern styles such as hi-tech, techno can buy doors and laminate, made in contrasting colors, for example, white and black. But the color of the wall should not merge with them with any of them. A laminate print may have the form of contoured or sharply contoured contrasting abstract figures, for example, the appearance of chessboard cells. The latest design trends include the gothic style,which is characterized by black laminate of stained wood with an expressive textured pattern.

In our digital age, we are increasingly departing from generally accepted standards. There is a lot of information on the Internet; you just need to use it correctly or seek advice from professional experts. When making the final choice of the door for laminate flooring, everything must be carefully thought out so that after a short period of time, during the next redecoration, you can not regret it.
