English style

This is an aristocratic style. It is characterized by the presence of wood and antiquity in the interior, which looked both simple and expensive at the same time.

The ideal option would be double-leaf massive wooden doors, varnished, which creak from time to time. This brings the owners of the dwelling back to that aristocratic era. However, the squeak can be removed if desired if it causes inconvenience. The dignity of the style is a combination with many materials (stone, leather, metal and other decorative items).

All this is inherent in old England, but more modern, on the contrary – lighter and lighter colors (beige, white, cream). Moreover, the colors of the canvases should be in harmony with the floor, baseboards, walls. A more modern interpretation of the style does not in any way affect the material from which the doors are made, they, as before, are made of solid wood. Can be painted in any color if desired.

Wenge doors in the interior

To create natural wenge doors, African rosewood veneer is used. Due to the complexity of wood processing, it is covered with paint, colors of brown light and dark shades are more common, but any color of the coating can be used. Wenge is a sign of luxury and is very suitable for expensive interiors. Looks good both in a room with dark shades and in a room with light shades, where it stands out due to contrast.

Also on sale are imitations of the wenge structure, which can be used even in inexpensive interior design options. This imitation suits most styles due to its monochromatic minimalism and moderate woody pattern..

Rules for combining doors with the interior

There are many options for the design of door leaves, but at the same time there are several rules that must be followed in order not to darken the impression of the resulting interior of the room..

Rule # 1

Doors should match at least several interior items of the room in color or type of material. It is the color of the canvas that plays an important role. Thanks to him, you can visually expand the space of the room, or vice versa, show the real dimensions of the room. However, it is appropriate to indicate the actual area only if it allows it. After all, there is no point in pointing out the shortcomings.

Rule # 2

If all the doors open into one common room, be it an entrance hall, a living room or a corridor, then the canvases are selected according to a single idea. And it doesn’t matter what material or what shape they are made of.

Each door fulfills its function and has its own, different from others, characteristics, however, they belong to the same style.

The height of the canvases also matters, since doors of different heights destroy the harmony of the common room..

Each of the presented materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, in principle, like any item. So that the insufficient width of the wallet does not affect the quality of the selected doors and does not upset soon after their purchase, it is necessary to decide which room which type of door is suitable.
