Interior doors in the interior

Interior doors are an integral part of every house and apartment. They not only separate rooms from each other, but also serve as a bright interior detail. Shops offer a huge variety of interior doors, and it is difficult to choose among them the right one. In order not to make a mistake in choosing, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the characteristics and types of products. If you take into account all the qualities of the model and its compatibility with the design of your interior, then you will definitely make the right choice.

Interior doors are classified according to several criteria. The first one is the way of discovery:

1. Swing products are arranged so that the fasteners are attached to the rack of the box, located vertically. The door itself is hinged, and when closed it fits tightly into the slot reserved for it.Establishing such a model, you need to take into account how much space it takes in the clear. To make the design fit more tightly into the groove, the edges of the structure are often supplied with a special sealant.
2. One of the types of swinging products are swing doors. They are mounted on a vertical axis located in the middle of the doorway. Such designs when opening out of the groove on both sides and can form a different width for the passage.
3. To save space often choose sliding door models. They, in turn, also include several varieties:

• Coupe doors they are different in that their guides are parallel to the wall, and the structures move in the same way.
• Cassette designs, when moved apart, are hidden in special niches made in the wall.
• Radius products are a round shape design. They are located on special guides corresponding to door radii.

For all three models there is such a variation as products with double flaps. The principle of their functioning is similar. The difference is that the flaps of them are moved apart in opposite directions.

1. The basic part of cascade doors is available stationary canvas or movable. Each of the canvases has its own guides. They can be placed simultaneously in one part of the doorway.
2. Internal the structures consist of two leaves that move towards each other. When they open for passage, half the opening space remains.
3. Designs made by by folding type, are very popular for the design of large openings. They consist of sashes connected by a hinge and are divided into two types:

• Door-book consists of a canvas divided into two sections, one of which is larger than the other. When you open such a model, it folds in half, and one of the flaps perpendicularly goes beyond the doorway. Therefore, it is important to take care of the free space for the door in the open position.
• More compact is accordion door. Her canvas is divided into equal parts, so it does not strongly protrude beyond the doorway. This model is suitable for narrow and small spaces.

Another sign of the classification of door products - the way they finish.

Gaining popularity with patina products. Patina is an old-fashioned effect on door surfaces.It is created in both natural and artificial ways. Special patinating compositions are applied on a wooden surface, and penetrating into its structure using a chemical process, create the effect of time.

Mirror designs look very unusual. When the product consists entirely of a mirror, it visually enlarges the space in the room, fills the room with light. Some models are equipped with a small mirror at the top. Sometimes the door is made of many mirrors, emphasizing the joints between the component parts, imitating mirror tiles.

Doors for such a compartment of the room as a wardrobe, too, are of various types. Wardrobe doors are swing, sliding and folding. Often, sliding wardrobe doors are decorated with drawings and panels. When you make this section of the door or attention is drawn, or it is masked under the surface of the wall.

In addition to the ways of opening and design, the doors vary in size.

There are a number of standard sizes of products:

• Models with a height of 190 cm have a width of 5.5-6 cm. There are only single-door structures that are installed in the bathroom, in the kitchen and in some rooms.
• Tall models, reaching two meters, are 6 to 9 cm wide.Similar parameters are inherent in both single-leaf and double-leaf products.

Often, in order to pick up the door, you have to expand the doorway. Also taken into account such a parameter as the thickness of the door frame. Its standard size is 7.5 cm.

Not everyone is content with the standard form of interior doors. Fashion and interior style dictate their own rules in the selection of products.

The following types of forms exist:

• Rectangular products - the classic type chosen by most buyers. They are much easier to install because there is no need to change the shape of the opening.
• In certain cases, an arched type of products is appropriate. They are often chosen to create imitations of old doors that have experienced the influence of time. Such models are appropriate if the room itself is framed in a certain historical or stylistic concept.
• An unusual type are “false” arched models that are embedded in a rectangular frame.

An important sign in the characteristic of door products is the material from which they are made. The most expensive material - natural array.Models made of solid wood are quite durable, they look presentable and solid. Trees such as oak, alder, larch and ash are very popular for the production of interior models.

Models from the array are shield and panel.

The shield type of products includes a natural solid frame, sheathed in MDF, the honeycomb cardboard is located inside the structure, which is quite light in weight. Often the product can fill the MDF, wooden bars and chipboard. The door leaf can be solid or include glass openings. The price of such doors is much lower than that of framed.

The second type is a combination of a frame and one-piece horizontal and vertical boards. Between themselves, these components are fastened with a special glue. Wooden panels look like a blank glued from two boards. The chipboard, MDF and glass is used for filling.

Often the composition of wooden doors include veneer.Natural wood or chipboard covered with veneer, on top of this product is ground and covered with furniture lacquer. Veneer is an environmentally friendly and durable material, but its disadvantage is the instability to the effects of temperature and moisture. In the case of frequent contact with water, it may begin to peel off, so it is not recommended to install such doors in the bathroom.

When the door is made from an array of inexpensive trees, it is often faced with plastic panels. Plastic plays a protective role for the product. It protects it from moisture, gives additional strength and resistance to mechanical stress. An additional feature of polymer plates is sound insulation. Plastic may have a different texture, in some models, the polymer layer mimics the fibers of natural wood.

Often doors are created with a special opening for glass. Glass of various sizes is built into the frame and makes the door truly original and exclusive. But sometimes products can consist entirely of glass. Such material is popular for double leaf sliding models. Glass can be opaque or glossy, but its mandatory property is impact resistance, which is achieved by a thickness of at least 8 cm.

The color design of the door depends on the characteristics of the material and the design of the room.

For wooden structures there is a special palette of colors:

• Oak products are characterized by such varieties as natural, light, stained, bleached oak, clear oak, sedan, and rustic.
• The pear is aged from light brown to red.
• A tree such as a nut grows in different regions, so the color of the array depends on the specific species. Italian has a deep coffee shade, while Milan has a brighter shade of chestnut.American walnut also occupies an intermediate place between the above types of color saturation.
• Mahogany is a tree of rich chocolate color, slightly cast in red. This product looks very noble, the door often assumes an accent role in the interior.

• Wenge tree is considered a noble material. It can be sustained in a rich dark tone. Sometimes wenge can have almost black tint. In contrasting embodiment, it is characterized by ivory color, which looks gentle and aesthetic.
• For light wood species beech, sustained in a milky shade. This type of bavaria beech has a cappuccino color.
• Products of cherry color come in bright brown shades, sometimes they are made in mocha color, containing dark red or burgundy tide.
• Those who prefer white wood choose doors made from ash wood, milk oak and tanzau maple. They may also have milky and cream shades.

For products from plastic panels there is a wider range of colors. In addition to the above, the doors can be decorated in a variety of bright colors, including such as:

• Turquoise. This color can often be seen on the doors of the arches, it is often hewn to create the impression of a vintage item.
• Green doors Saturated colors are set more often as input. For interior a great alternative would be olive or mint shades.
• Doors blue performed in muted tones. You can rarely see flashy sapphire colors, but sometimes a certain style allows for brighter shades.

Popular are two-color doors. One of the colors is the main one, while the other plays an accent role. It can be a combination of black and white shades, sometimes the beige or brown frame is decorated with color sections and ornaments. The combination of beige and ginger, gray and yellow is popular; gold patches can be found on paneled structures; pink is used for drawing pictures on the surface of the door. For some areas of the design is characterized by a design with horizontal stripes.

An important factor in the selection of the door is its compatibility with the rest of the interior.

The first sign is the harmony of the product with the floor. Regardless of whether linoleum is in your home or laminate, color compatibility plays a decisive role. Sometimes the door is selected in the same color scheme as the floor in order to create a contrast with the main color of the walls. In this case, the product assumes an accent role. When the door is tried not to be shown, the opening around it is emitted with a different color, and the door surface itself is chosen in color close to the walls.

Sometimes the door may differ in tone and from the floor and from the walls. In this case, it is necessary that the plinth and doors were decorated in the same style and shade.

Wooden doors are much easier to combine with furniture. You can pick up all the components in the same style and color using a solid wood of the same breed. Such a reception will give your room solidity and nobility. If the geometry is pronounced in the room, then supply the door frame with geometric glass inserts. They will relate to the forms of furniture and complement the concept of design.

Regardless of your model of the door, it must be related to at least one element of the overall picture of the interior. If the door is completely isolated, it will look like a stain that does not harmonize with the style of the room.

Not everyone likes to flaunt the door. Some consider it an exclusively functional part of the interior and try to disguise the design.

There are several ways to hide the door:

• Paint it in the color of the wall. It does not give one hundred percent camouflage, but at a cursory inspection of the premises, the product will not catch the eye and will not distract attention from other interior items.
• The trick is to install a fully mirrored door. Such designs can be easily mistaken for a mirror instead of a door, they increase the space of the room. But the disadvantages of these door products will become unstable to dirt.
• Capital disguise will be the design of the door in the same style with wallpaper. In such cases, the door completely merges with the wall, but sometimes it does not install a handle.
• Some styles are encouraged to have a large painting on the wall. It is under the picture and you can disguise the door, especially if it is equipped with a swinging mechanism.
• From the side of the room, a door having a greater thickness can be supplied with shelves. Placing books and accessories there, you will give the design a look that does not look like a doorway.

When buyers face the question of choosing a model of an interior door, you need to weigh the pros and cons in order for this choice to be correct.

Evaluate first the build quality. It is a fundamental criterion in the selection. Carefully inspect the parameters of the product upon purchase.In order not to be mistaken with the dimensions, independently measure the proposed model with a tape measure. Personally verify the evenness of the seams running between the door frame and the box. Use the additional services of the store to equip the door with accessories and installation, if possible.

An important condition for the successful choice of doors is the style in the interior. Certain models will be suitable for each direction, it is only important to take into account the peculiarities of the shape and design of products.

For classic styles are characterized by massive wooden products. Baroque implies carved designs from a solid array. The prevailing shape is rectangular. Often, the surface of the door is decorated with gold, giving their appearance an even greater luxury.

The French Provence style is also distinguished by wooden structures, but for most of them, a more modest design is characteristic. The leading color of this direction is white. Sometimes products are designed in beige, pale green or pink shades. A feature of the door is their vyshkurennost "antique".

Country style suggests some rudeness in the design of the doorway.Door designs consist of large boards, stacked along or across. On products rarely see gloss. Door jambs made of the same type of material protrude on the edges of the doorway, framing the structure.

Modern styles of high-tech have a geometric concept. A strictly delineated rectangular silhouette of a door is important. The construction of plastic is made strictly in one color or contains a contrasting geometric accent. These doors can have both glossy and matte texture.

It is important not only to take into account the style, but also to combine the selected door with the function performed by one or another room of an apartment or a private house.

In the cottage you are given a greater choice of doors, because you can adjust the height of the doorway yourself, while in the apartments they are standard. Often the layout of the house is such that the door in the interior has to be installed diagonally. In this case, you must choose a model that would not interfere with the opening.

If two doors are installed side by side, it is especially important to emphasize their uniform style.They do not have to be exactly the same, but they can create an original composition on the wall.

The interroom door is not only functional, but also a beautiful part of the interior that needs to be correctly selected, relying on many different factors. With the right product, any room in your home will look stylish.
