Using gray interior doors. Light floors and light doors in the interior: features of the combination and interesting ideas Light gray doors in the interior

The way the doors and floors look, their condition, texture and color can say a lot about the house as a whole, about the character of the owners, about their tastes and preferences. Therefore, when starting renovations in an apartment, you need to carefully consider how you want all these elements to look.

Peculiarities

Once upon a time, the norm for any respectable apartment was a dark wenge-colored floor. Any person entering the house saw dark floors, which stylistically could be completely unrelated to the color of the baseboards, walls, doors and furniture, united by one color scheme or some other design concept. This state of affairs was standard and did not bother anyone. For some time now, when creating the image of an apartment, designers and ordinary people began to pay attention to the combination of floor and door colors. Recently, the combination of light floors with light doors has become increasingly popular.

Light doors have their own characteristics, both positive and negative:

• White and light, including the doors, creates the impression of lightness and solemnity. Next to white doors, even bulky furniture does not seem heavy and does not leave a feeling of cramping.

• Light doors, unlike dark ones, fit well into almost any interior style. It is only necessary that the shade of the door leaf be combined with the shade of the furniture, wallpaper and floor.

• A white or light-colored door visually increases the space, which is very important in small rooms.

• A glossy light door leaf also has its advantages. It seems like there is more sun in the room with it. The effect of its presence is especially important in the gloomy space of the hallway.

• If the walls are decorated with materials similar in color to light doors, even a small room will seem large.
• Of course, light-colored doors are easily soiled, but modern cleaning products make it easy to deal with this problem.

• Compared to door leaf dark colors, white and light-colored may seem frivolous and lacking in impressiveness. This simplicity and uncomplicatedness is compensated by the use of trim of a different color.

Row similar features Light floors have:

• With their help you can increase the illumination of the room. This is especially important for small rooms facing north. This flooring will add coziness to the room; it will make it seem larger and more comfortable.

• Room with light floors psychologically perceived as a place with a lot of air and lightness. To achieve this effect, you should choose a coating of beige, cream, butter or light yellow shades.

• A light floor will make the room visually wider. It should be borne in mind that if it turns out to be lighter than the wallpaper, the room will appear larger in height rather than in width.
• Light flooring goes well with any furniture, doors and walls. Against its background, dark, impressive furniture will not seem gloomy and massive. Dark door against a light background flooring can create an advantageous contrast, which is sometimes necessary for certain design solutions. Light floors and doors will be an excellent duet, emphasizing the lightness of the entire environment.

• Of course, compared to dark floors, light ones do not seem respectable enough. Many people consider this a disadvantage, even if expensive white oak is used to create the floor.

To prevent light floors from looking cheap, it is better to choose matte materials rather than those with a glossy sheen.

• When choosing a coating of a light shade, there is a risk of “overdoing it” with its airiness and getting a completely different effect than was expected. Instead of a cozy atmosphere, you can achieve the opposite, so you need to evaluate in advance all the nuances of choosing the future color of the floors.

• Thus, pure white color under certain lighting is greatly distorted. You can get an undesirable result when such floors take on yellowish or creamy shades in the light of the lamps. It should be taken into account that daylight and halogen lighting do not distort the color. If it is not, then in order not to create a yellowish tint, it is better to choose floors with a gray undertone.

• On light floors, dirt is sometimes more noticeable than on dark floors, so it is recommended light coating select for rooms where traffic is not very high (for example, for bedrooms and children's rooms).

Choosing a color

The choice of color for floors and doors is determined by many factors: what design of the apartment is provided as a whole, what color wallpaper and ceilings should be in certain rooms, how light penetrates into the house, and so on.

Doors

There are a number of colors that are most in demand when installing doors.

• White. This color is called universal for interior doors, since it is neutral, it goes well with the entire decor of the room. It will not conflict with any floor color and will go well with any wallpaper and furniture. White is good for small apartments, which it makes visually larger. It is most beneficial to use white door leaf in the hallway in combination with light floors. If you complement the white interior door with glass inserts (frosted or stained glass), it will take on an elegant look.

If it's clean white door seems too tacky to you, or you just don’t like this shade, opt for a color very close to white (for example, Ivory). Expensive door models are made from solid oak or ash, which look good in interiors classic style. Oak gives the impression of good quality. Ash doors will look elegant and at the same time durable.

• Grey. It can also be classified as universal. If this color has a blue tint, the doors will seem slightly cold, making the interior austere. Gray-beige door leaves, on the contrary, will fill everything around them with warmth. It should be taken into account that gray color visually reduces space, so it is better not to install such doors in small rooms.

There is no place for gray doors in a room decorated in a classic style.

Combining gray with brown or black is not the best option, as it causes rejection for many. On the contrary, a duet with yellow gives the space an atmosphere of sunshine. A light gray door looks great in combination with white furniture, emphasizing its cleanliness.

• Beige. Neutral color from the light brown group. Its range of applications is wide, but against the background of such doors, dark furniture will not look very advantageous. If you like this color and cannot refuse it, it is better to complement the doors with skirting boards and trim of the same shade. Beige goes well with gray or white, and looks great in the company of grass color.

• Gold. A door of this tone is chosen by people in love with sunlight. They will be delighted by the color of golden oak, which enlivens the space.

Floor coverings

The colors of floor coverings are presented in the following popular shades:

• Maple color. Of all the light wood species, maple is closest to white, although with a yellow tint, which is also called cream. You need to be prepared for the fact that maple floors do not retain their original color forever. It will become darker over time.

• Oak color. Oak itself is not white by nature. It is whitened using special means. After such “dressing”, you can get different shades of oak, from which the buyer will only have to choose the color of the coating: from gray to warm cream.

• Hornbeam color. There are certain difficulties in processing such wood, so hornbeam floors are much less common than the above options. The color of the hornbeam is whitish-gray. Floor coverings are found in off-white, pearl and sand shades.

• Birch color. Birch is a very common flooring material in Russia. There are variants of white birch with a yellowish or pinkish tint.

Birch is also tinted, giving it the appearance of the most valuable light wood species.

Stylish combination

In the apartment you can use floors of different colors and textures. Laminate, parquet and parquet board of various colors will get along quite well in one house, you just need to think through the transitions from one color to another, combining them with common elements - a similar wood pattern or shade of “veins”. The combination of dark doors with light floors looks good. The door leaf may not at all match the color of the floor and furniture, you just need to choose trim that matches overall design colors that match, for example, the same baseboard.

Light floors and light doors, different in texture, nevertheless harmonize the space. In the room light wallpaper and light doors should match each other in tone, but have different shades. From a practical point of view, the combination of light floors and doors in a room is more profitable, since they last for many years, and when updating the interior, the owners will not be limited by the narrow framework of combining these basic elements with this or that furniture and wallpaper. Anything will go with a light background. At any time you can combine a light floor with dark furniture or, conversely, light, and a light door and the same floor - with dark walls.

Interior accents

When updating floors and doors, it is important to correctly place accents that highlight the advantages of the interior. The beauty of flooring and doors can be emphasized with furniture of the right color. It is considered good form when the color of the furniture matches the door leaf, and at the same time the door itself differs from the floor by a couple of tones. This technique is good for maintaining the interior in a classic style.

Much attention should be paid to the choice of skirting boards suitable color, since they can perfectly complete the image of doors, a room in general, and flooring in particular. It looks most impressive if you combine the floor, doors and baseboard with a single color. All components, made in white, go well together. Beige, gray or cream colors will also complete the look of your living room or bedroom. Contrasting colors of skirting boards in relation to doors and floors, on the contrary, will emphasize the geometry of the rooms and indicate boundaries.

Doorways are designed in different ways, including traditional door leaves made of wood and eco-veneer. Today the range includes plastic, glass and with decorative inserts, but the most popular are light doors in apartment interiors. Once popular interior option(made of plywood on a frame with white paint) goes into oblivion, preference is given to wood decor. A large selection raises many questions; professional designers will answer them.

Light doors are back in fashion

How does the choice of color and texture affect the perception of the interior and self-awareness?

A harmonious interior has a direct bearing on inner comfort, the aura of the room gives a feeling of inner balance. That is why so much attention is paid to the arrangement of living space. Psychologists and color specialists often recommend “changing the scenery” after experiencing stress.

Stay in beautiful places and fashionable hotels, expensive sanatoriums and holiday homes are literally “brought back to life.” But the same effect has capital or redecorating own apartment, if you do not delay it for more than 2-3 weeks. The degree of transformation depends on desire and financial capabilities.

Universal light shades easily fit into any interior and do not conflict with dark tones

Advice. The doors do not need to be replaced. The easiest way is to repaint or varnish and remove old paint or use spectacular decoration methods. It is recommended to cover the glass insert of the interior door with stained glass film - it will look like new.

Doors in light colors are often cheaper

Light shades, including the tone of the door leaf and wood texture, have a beneficial effect on perception and mental well-being. But this does not exclude the use of dark contrasts and bright accents. On the contrary, they make any interior more expressive and memorable, as in the photo.

Most often, these shades are chosen for a light painted door:

• white or milky;
• light beige;
• tender peach;
• Ivory;
• pearl gray;
• golden yellow.

Light colors add lightness and cleanliness to a room without the need to carefully select a color palette

Contrasting trim and baseboards add expressiveness to doors, creating a visual boundary between the opening, floor and walls

The monochromatic color scheme of furniture and doors looks harmonious and attractive

If you want light-colored doors to fit into the interior design as much as possible, choose the same wood shade to match the floor. This is the largest surface of the total texture:

• parquet;
• laminate;
• porcelain stoneware;
• linoleum “for parquet”.

Door leaves with a shade selected several tones darker than the ceiling and walls look laconic

In addition to the color palette, the interior with light doors of different designs is visually perceived differently:

1. Narrow vertical stripes and inserts, panels and moldings visually raise the ceilings.
2. A doorway with wood lining creates a feeling of prosperity.
3. Light interior doors in interiors with large patterns or dark walls bring a certain optimism, freshness and novelty.

The color of the door panels is selected to match the walls, floors and furniture

Structural types of doors

When undertaking a renovation with the replacement of interior doors, do not forget that at the same time you can get rid of some of the inconveniences associated with an unsuccessful layout. Often on one square meter the corridor area can open 3-4 doors. This creates certain difficulties when 2-3 people leave different rooms at the same time.

Sliding doors are ideal for narrow corridors

There are several options to solve this problem:

1. Where possible, replace swing doors so that they open into the room rather than outward. Swinging outwards is required by the rules fire safety, but this property may never be needed, and the interior door opens into the corridor dozens of times a day.
2. Sliding doors or sliding door leaves on rollers at the entrance to adjacent rooms can be installed on a common guide rail. They will not take up space in narrow corridor, but need some effort when using.
3. Folding (“accordion”, “screen door”) models are used inside the room - for zoning space or isolating a specific place.
4. Double doors (two halves) can be symmetrical or one part is wider. As a rule, the smaller part is fixed with a door latch in the stake and the upper plane of the opening. This is more convenient than opening a wide, massive door every time.

Replacing an inconvenient option with light interior doors in the interior of an apartment will simultaneously solve issues of aesthetics and ergonomics.

Sliding white door on black guide rail

Advice. Installed door closers"themselves" will close any swing doors. It is not necessary to buy expensive models made from natural solid wood. Today there are many budget alternatives that look no different from wood.

Modern doors made from combined materials look no worse than their solid wood counterparts, but are much cheaper

Modern interior door designs are issued from different materials imitating light wood (and other shades):

• veneer (thin cut of valuable wood over budget materials);
• eco-veneer with wood decor;
• laminated plastic doors of different shades;
• decorative plywood;
• moisture-resistant MDF;
• laminate (carpentry);
• composite materials.

Pressed derivatives based on wood waste with paint coating – great way savings. Doors inside an apartment are subject to less load than entrance doors, so the operational requirements for them are much lower.

Folding doors in the bedroom

Plastic doors are perfect for bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity.

The catalogs contain many aesthetic models - from a regular door with simple panels to spectacular inserts made of different types of glass:

• transparent;
• frosted;
• mirror;
• grooved;
• stained glass;
• sandblasting.

It is worth paying attention to such a property as sound insulation. Much here is determined not by the material, but by the design of the door - its tightness to the frame. The noise absorption factor also depends on the amount of textiles and properties finishing materials adjacent rooms.

Light wood shades

The flexibility of processing and the texture of wood have always been decisive, but color has also been given considerable importance. Natural wood of light shades was most often used in the interior:

• oak (different shades of species native to Europe, Asia, Australia and America);
• holly;
• hornbeam;
• alder;
• nut;
• birch (Karelian and burl are valued);
• pine (different hardness and shade);
• maple (several varieties with different textures).

• natural oak (Nebraska and Gladstone);
• bleached ash;
• natural cocobolo;

These and other tones of light interior doors are widely presented in catalogs. If several different wood textures are used in the design of rooms, it is important to choose a beneficial combination that complements each other in the overall palette.

But this does not mean that they should have the same material. Wood can be of natural tones and look different in each product, have its own tone and texture. You can use linoleum and golden-colored doors. Light floors with white doors are used in a minimalist or Scandinavian style.

Features of antique door finishing

Doors with an antique finish are very popular, as they fit many styles and look luxurious.

Light doors in narrow rooms

• To make the wall and the opening look seamless, you need to choose one tone to match the light doors and light wallpaper; this combination is very common in the interior.
• The law of trinity must be observed, which implies a harmonious relationship between the floor, doors and baseboards.
• If the room contains more than one door, they should be painted the same color as the laminate or linoleum. This is necessary to divert attention from several doorways.
• If you want to use many different shades as a base, then you need to observe moderation.

We will also consider situations in which gray doors can lose all their advantages.

Using a gray door in an office

Among the most popular options color ranges calm tones are used to decorate office premises. These are blue and also neutral shades. These colors will go well with gray doors.

In offices you should not use gray doors with glass inserts. The specificity of using doors in offices is that they are used very often - they are constantly closed and opened. Glass may not withstand the load. As an exception, we can only name models with reliable tempered glass.

Many designers and interior specialists are sure that gray office doors go very poorly, almost terribly, with brown floors. Professionals try to avoid such combinations.

We use gray doors in an apartment or house

If in office premises similar door tones are the best choice, but in apartments such solutions are not so common. For all their versatility, these doors in residential premises are used only for certain styles. These are loft, country, hi-tech, shabby nickname and similar stylistic trends.
