Interior doors as a fashionable feature and functional item

A stylish interior can only be created in a room where every, even the smallest detail is thought out. Therefore, product designers regularly delight consumers with new models of interior doors. After all, it is one of the largest objects in the room, and only you can decide whether to make it an art object or completely dissolve in the wall.

Interior door design 2018: what the pros are talking about

The opinion of interior designers about the new fashion trends of the coming year is based on the collections presented by factories, which can be seen at international and regional exhibitions.

There are the main parameters of a fashionable door:

1. The opening system is hinged or sliding with an upper guide bar. Of the folding models, only a book that folds in half is welcome. It is also a reflection of simplicity - the mechanisms are reliable and don't get too much attention.

   

   It is better to choose a door that folds in half, since the so-called book will only make the interior cheaper

2. Features of the door leaf: no angularities, it is better to slightly round off all the corners, the canvases are mainly panel boards, if paneled, then with the most simple and large panels. Models in the form of a thin wooden frame with a large glass or transparent insert will come in handy.
3. The material of the canvas is wood or MDF, it is possible to use options with metal plates. Glass is held in high esteem mainly in the form of inserts into wooden or steel frames. Ideally, it should be transparent, but graphite and matte are allowed. Squeak of fashion this year - handmade glass and decor with glass chips.

4. The color of the door, as well as of other basic interior objects, is recommended for this season. It is white, all shades of gray, beige and caramel, light tones of natural wood. To emphasize the graphics, you can install black canvases, but preferably with transparent or lighter inserts. Bright tones are relevant, but only if the door is placed on the same luscious wall, since the Pantone color collection for 2018 consists of dusty shades. In general, the tendency to hide doors with the help of color is played up in every possible way.

   

   Light doors are in trend now

5. Canvas decor - it should be varied. On wood products, light brushing and waxing are encouraged, which does not change the original tone of the wood. The maximum possible decor is a simple black, copper or gold handle or a metal edging around the perimeter. Frame models made of MDF should be decorated with milling, but not to imitate panels, but to create a geometric pattern throughout the canvas. Doors with brass inserts are also in trend. Mirrors do not lose their relevance, but products should not be completely reflective, but with inserts of any size and geometric shape. The use of precious woods is also supported, but mainly in the form of veneer or inlay.

Such trends were highlighted by designers after visiting the IMM Cologne exhibitions in Cologne, Warsaw Home Expo in Warsaw and, of course, the French Maison & Obget Paris. Many also noted significant regional differences. For example, Americans are already fed up with the abundance of mirrors and a lot of brass surfaces in the decor, but here it is just becoming fashionable. As for doors, most experts advise choosing neutral models in terms of both color and design.

A laconic white door is able to support the same facades

At the end of January 2018, photos of the works of the nominees for the ArchDaily award, known in the world of design and architecture, appeared on the network. I don't have access to real interiors, but some assumptions can be made based on the photographs. In particular, I am almost sure that smooth wooden doors or high-quality imitations for it will remain relevant in 2018. Slightly brutal textured canvases in a metal frame are still allowed not only in cafes, but also at home. It is easy to see that designers continue to highlight functionality, value simplicity of form and laconic design. That is, a door made of almost untreated (as it seems) wood without toning and gloss characteristic of varnish will give odds to the usual paneled and even glass-frame. I also noticedthat many openings are closed with the most inconspicuous transparent glass or even leave them without doors. Apparently, the tribute to air and space in the interiors will be paid in 2018 as well. But the declared fashionable brass in finished interiors is still not enough, we will wait for the development of events.

How to choose an interior door to the interior of the room

Even if designers advocate individuality, then ordinary people are not a sinner to deviate from the above canons. After all, the interior, first of all, should not be ultra-fashionable, but pleasant and comfortable for the people living in it. When decorating a room, you can combine designer fantasies and your own tastes, as well as take into account the influence of an already existing (in reality or in plans) interior.

The eclectic interior is especially well emphasized by the paneled door with unusual diagonal milling

Tips for choosing a door color for a room

If the furnishings of the room are almost ready and no significant changes are planned in the near future, it would be logical to follow the trends and choose a door in a neutral color. This is not only a white and gray scale, but also warmer shades, for example, beige, caramel, vanilla.

A white door with a gold handle will fit even in a mixture of classic and modern

Light colors of doors always go well with muted shades of furniture and textiles. If you wish, you can play in contrast and pick up beige products under a dark dining set or a bright sofa. If you value airiness and space, you will definitely like this option.

White doors and a chest of drawers will help to make the combination of light green with blue and variegated patterns less intrusive.

Dark interior doors are usually presented in shades of gray and black, but you can slightly deviate from the rules and complicate them with deep tones of sea blue, eggplant, cranberry or malachite. If they are supported by thin lines around the perimeter, as well as a couple of lighter accents, it will turn out to be very harmonious.

The passage to another room can be advantageously disguised

For those who absolutely do not like these colors, there is a trick - designers highly value the color of natural wood, and this is already a wide range of shades. To save money, tinting pine for walnut or wenge is quite acceptable, the main thing is to cover the canvas with not glossy, but semi-matt varnish. This method of processing makes the material more like wax-impregnated wood.

If not for the handle, the blue doors against the background of a similar wall would be completely invisible.

Colored interior doors in the interior of the apartment are not always supported by the baseboard and floor. They often become a bright accent in a mostly calm room. But in 2018, designers recommend using color to hide the door, so its shade should exactly match the tone of the wall. It is not difficult to achieve a match - just purchase a primed canvas and install it before painting. Because of this technique, the color saturation of the door is not adjustable. Of course, Panton offers soft pastel colors for the walls, but this is only a recommendation. For example, green tones (including last year's favorite - the color of young grass) are welcome in any variation, so even a bright green door will look relevant.

It is convenient to hide a pantry with household accessories from guests behind a hidden door.

When you choose not a color, but the design of interior doors, then you need to focus on the style of home furnishings.

Interior doors for different interior styles

Some doors give out their essence at first glance, while others have to look closer in order to understand for which interior they were created. But the most interesting thing is that sometimes it is worth picking up doors of a related style in the room, and not those that fit perfectly. There may be several reasons for this:

1. The designer movement against typefaces. If earlier, both in clothes and in the interior, it was necessary to select absolutely identical colors and shapes, but now the pros combine models from different collections on purpose. The same applies to the door - a deliberate discrepancy often only emphasizes the concept of a foreign style.

2. Congestion with similar parts. Let's say you create a mini-palace at home. The stucco molding is located in several rows around the perimeter of the ceiling, the walls are covered with openwork frames, all pieces of furniture have cabriole legs, and even the parquet is laid out in an intricate pattern. It would seem that a front door with intricate panels, carved overlays and stained glass would fit here. But in this case, it will aggravate the variegation and visual clutter, turn the hard-won interior into a parody of the palace. A laconic white canvas with simple, slightly curved panels will become a contrast, against which the decorations of other objects will stand out better.

   

   The room may have gilded furniture, but the door is very simple.

3. Savings considerations. Stylish designer items are expensive. Therefore, sometimes, instead of a massive wooden door in an eco-style, it is worth choosing a canvas in an aluminum frame with a high-quality imitation of natural texture or (when naturalness is more important than external similarity) a paneled model of the simplest design. Both options will not be hostile to the ecological style, but the difference in price will be significant.

Interior doors for Provence style

It is important here to distinguish between two directions of the style of the French hinterland, which are distinguished by the presence of aged surfaces.

It is the Provence style doors that are able to "make friends" with classic forms and an extensive color palette

Noble Provence welcomes the simplicity of lines, but does not require severity. He is prone to slightly naive romanticism, prefers dusty pink, light green and lavender tones. Doors for it should be selected exceptionally light, ideally - completely white swing doors and with a traditional layout in the form of the letter "X". Provence does not accept metal ends, dark lamination, complex patterns and stained glass windows, open edges of glass inserts, folding canvases. But the door material can be either smooth or slightly textured.

Light patination of the door leaf is pleasant even for those who do not like deliberate abrasions

Provence with the addition of shabby chic is a celebration of antiquity and its visual components. Doors in such a room are necessarily aged or decorated with gold, black or bronze patina. The panels can have almost any shape, the main thing is that their main background is light (including soft lavender, pastel green or caramel). Often they are decorated with hand-painted or floral decoupage. Glass inserts with floral sandblasted designs are also welcome.

When the canvas speaks brightly about Provence, you can even use a cascade opening system, the door will still fit into the style

Platbands for Provence style doors should not be ordinary either. As a rule, these are strips of uniform thickness with a slight rounding (in universal platbands, the thickness often changes from the inside to the outside), sometimes with decorative vertical grooves - flutes. The joint is made out with a special corner element in the form of a square. The latter is often decorated with protrusions or patterns, but not too complicated. If you like shabby chic, choose models in which the flutes are emphasized by patina.

Old doors with naive painting are not cheap

If you want to fully adhere to the Provence style, the door handle should also be aged, as if from darkened metal. Since brass is trending now, dark gold and antique bronze models are appropriate - this is an excellent compromise between style and fashion requirements. For those who value style more, models with earthenware inserts or forged overlays are suitable, and for those who like versatility, it is better to choose all-metal handles.

High-tech interior doors

It is important to understand that hi-tech is a conventional name. In its pure form, this style is so cold and uncomfortable that it is not found in our apartments. Even if you come to a designer and order high-tech for your home, in 99% of cases a professional will develop an interior for you in a related style - functionalism, minimalism, loft, contemporary. Only accents that are important to you in the form of metal, glass, etc. will remain from the source. And this is really correct, because even those who adore it in pictures cannot live in pure hi-tech.

Despite the fact that high-tech does not welcome wood, manufacturers often offer models with wood textures and colors.

High-tech is characterized by clear straight lines, simplicity of forms, almost complete absence of decor, active use of concrete, glass, plastic, metal. On the one hand, simplicity is in trend, on the other hand, natural materials are held in high esteem, with which this style is not “friendly”.

The only metal that designers are currently promoting is brass. Although high-tech does not like gilding, it may well put up with brass inserts. Therefore, panel models with a metal end will be "on the topic" here, especially if you pick up a matte canvas in light colors (hi-tech does not allow textured wood, and gloss is not in vogue now).

French-style door is good for high-tech style and helps soften it

The second option for a stylish and fashionable door is a metal frame with large glass inserts or the same model with a thin wooden frame. Let the glass be transparent or graphite, without decorations. All-glass options and frame models with a solid panel are not worth buying this year.

It is important not to forget about the opening system - it is high-tech that welcomes sliding partitions of all types and sizes. In order to keep up with fashion trends, it is better to refuse models that slide into the pencil case.

Hidden paintable doors are high-tech, but can be used in any style

Accessories for a door in this style should be selected in a cold range, but, following fashion trends, brass can also be preferred. Hi-tech has a positive attitude towards open communications, so it is inappropriate to overpay for hidden hinges or decorative overlays for guides.

Classic interior doors in a contemporary interior

Although the classics are considered eternal, they cannot be called unshakable. Therefore, interior elements that are traditionally attributed to a similar style are gradually being simplified. This is partly due to the fact that it is appropriate only in spacious rooms; in small modern apartments, it frankly crushes. Very few contemporaries will appreciate the pure classical setting, so it is worth talking about neoclassicism. From her ancestor, she received strict symmetry, simple stucco molding, the predominance of natural materials and natural shades. But the total dominance of wood (especially dark and glossy), a large number of carved elements and gilding migrated to more pompous styles - palace, baroque, rococo.

Classics often welcome dark door tones, but now white models are more relevant

The canvas should be paneled, preferably with interesting curves. It is better to choose multi-level square panels. Glass inserts are appropriate, they should be transparent, textured (with a geometric pattern), frosted with rhombuses or squares. Decorated with beveled transparent overlays and engraving will not harm either style or fashion. Beveled glass and mirrors are still out of competition.

The main secret of the classic door is in platbands and a crown, without them it would not be so pompous

Platbands for classic canvases are selected complex, embossed, models with flutes are also suitable. Compounds provided in the upper corners of squares carved or gashes 45 ^on. It is in the classics that it is customary to decorate doors with a crown (if relevance is important, it is better to take it rectangular, without bends). By the way, don't forget about the skirting board. To make him "friends" with the above-described door, it is worth choosing a tall one with decorative longitudinal grooves.

Shaped layout on glass favorably combines classic curves and modern geometry

Traditionally, the classics recognize only swing doors, but if such a design is uncomfortable in your room, sliding canvases can also fit into the situation. In this case, it is advisable to select a model with interesting complex panels or oval inserts. As for the accordions, they make almost any interior cheaper, even a wooden product of a similar design does not suit pompous classics and more restrained neoclassicism.

Black mushroom handles perfectly refresh classic doors

There is a large selection of classic handles for interior doors on sale, but following the trends, it is better not to pay attention to overly pretentious models. But products with large overlays are suitable if they are of a simple shape. The golden color of the hardware will be the most appropriate choice here.

Interior doors in the interior of the modern style

Modern is one of the most comfortable interior styles, it is both beautiful and practical. One of the main features is the combination of straight and smooth curved lines. Art Nouveau is also characterized by natural motives, which are manifested in natural colors, floral patterns and animalistic decor. Often there are glass, including stained glass and partitions that widen the door portal. Often, such decorations are complemented by forged lattices.

In the middle price category, fairly simple options are presented, and among the expensive ones you can pick up more intricate canvases

Floral doors are classic Art Nouveau but should be used with care

Modern stands for asymmetry, that is, the halves of the door leaf should not be the same or mirrored. This is where door models with a wide wavy insert along the entire height are suitable. Also in Art Nouveau, arched windows and doors are often used.

Art Nouveau arched canvases can be laconic

Since Art Nouveau is considered a modern, sometimes even avant-garde direction, in the manufacture of doors, it allows the use of both natural and artificial materials (chipboard, MDF). Glass is used only for inserts, but the glazing area is not limited. Patterns are undesirable (now not in trend), but hand-made glass imitation fashionable in 2018 will be very useful.

Combining geometric and floral patterns in stained glass is a great way to "make friends" trends and style requirements

Platbands of a modernist door can be wavy, creating an asymmetrical silhouette of the opening. But if this extreme is not to your liking, it is better to choose a more traditional form. The opening system can be any, different fittings are used with a suitable canvas. The latter can be brass or just golden.

An important feature of modern interiors is a small amount of humor or kitsch, which most often manifests itself in the addition of accents of shapes and colors that are not typical for the chosen direction. A great example of such a joke is the Novara door. On the one hand, it is paneled and can be suitable for styles akin to the classics. On the other hand, the shape of the panels is unusual - the standard protrusion gradually loses its thickness from one edge to the other. Such a small nuance gives the canvas unusual modern features, and the models with glass canvases generally look futuristic, like a portal to a parallel world.

The interior door of the Novara series is an excellent example of a trendy product

Even 10 years ago, it was believed that absolutely all doors in the house must belong to the same model line. Today, designers take liberties when choosing several canvases for one room. The latter should not at all be kept in the same size and color palette. For example, it is appropriate to decorate the main entrance to the living room with high sliding doors with large-scale glazing, make the passage to the kitchen a deaf single-leaf in a similar style, and even disguise it in a box into the utility room.

Portal and two doors of different models in one wall - an interesting and unexpected reception

The main thing when arranging the interior is to understand that any other people's opinion can only be a recommendation. You can break any rules and fashion requirements if the result is a harmonious and beautiful room in which you are comfortable to be.
