Advantages and disadvantages of white doors

The door leaf made of light-colored material looks stylish and is suitable for any setting. Like any other detail of room decoration, white doors have their pros and cons. The benefits include:

lightness and airiness, which makes it possible not to clutter up the space of even a tiny room itself, but, on the contrary, to expand it;
stylistic versatility – a light canvas can remain an invariable attribute of a room for decades, even if the walls and floors change their appearance;
visual expansion of space – white doors are invisible against the background of the same monophonic wall, this visually increases the area of the room.

Its disadvantages are on an equal footing with the positive sides of a light door leaf. The first frightening nuance is the instability to pollution. Due to the fact that the slightest abrasions are noticeable on the light material, they must be washed almost every day, especially in the area of the lock and handle..

Another drawback of the interior with white doors, according to a small number of connoisseurs of home comfort, is simplicity. Even if at the end of the renovation the thought “my doors are terribly unattractive and colorless” flashes in the mind of the owners of the house, they can always decorate them with decorative elements – plates, a wreath with color or pictures.

The combination of the color of the canvas and the box

To prevent the white door from “dissolving” in the light wall, it can be decorated with accent trims. A simple and original solution – dark platbands of the same color as the skirting board.

The colors of the box that will definitely match the white door:

dark oak;
deep black;
light green – pistachio, aqua, lime;
shades of gray – stone, ash, coal.

For the Provence style, most pastel colors are suitable. The classic design includes a variety of shades of brown. For eco-style, it is important to maintain a balance of light colors and not overdo it with decorative design..

How a white door accentuates a stylish room design?

The type of door is determined by the following characteristics: size, purpose (entrance, interior) and the number of doors (single or double-leaf). Another key feature that white doors have in the interior is the material. This applies to the frame, canvas and fittings.

Regardless of whether the product is made of natural wood or an artificial substitute (chipboard, MDF), it can have different shades. For example, if raw oak was used in the production, then the door can acquire the following shades: frozen, Lebanese, royal, sandy or snow-white oak.

Interesting stylistic solutions

The idea of remodeling a house, which is relevant at all times, is to install light door panels in a retro style between the rooms. For example, between the corridor and the living room a model with glass fits perfectly, which foreign designers literally refer to as “the door of sunlight”. So that it does not look simple and inconspicuous, the glasses can be painted in stained glass technique or you can do even easier – transfer drawings or ornaments from decoupage cards.

White interior doors in the interior of a bedroom or kitchen will look no less beautiful and unusual. If the sleeping room is decorated in a modern style, then a creative detail can be placed on the doors – for example, a sign that says “do not disturb”. This option will not work with the kitchen, so a flower or laurel wreath will be the best decoration for a white kitchen door..

Entrance lobby with glass inserts

In most interiors, white doors with an original design look good:

with different inserts – glass, plastic, metal;
wood grain – with carved elements, imitation of the texture of valuable species;
glossy – suitable for modern stylistic solutions;
with patina – look good in an art deco interior;
high – it is better to arrange them with insert elements;
barn – such doors look appropriate in the bedroom and living room;
aged – ideal for loft-style rooms.

How to combine white doors with the rest of the trim

Simplicity and cleanliness are two interrelated concepts that best characterize white doors in the interior of an apartment or a country house. They should be combined with plain wallpaper of background colors – gray, light blue, green. A good solution is to decorate the walls with brickwork or decorative plaster. We present a photo of the best combinations of white doors with different interior elements.

Possible combinations with wall and floor finishes

White high skirting board and the same trims in tandem with mocha-colored walls and bright textiles (for example, scarlet, emerald, ultramarine) will add freshness to the living room or bedroom.

Dark laminate or parquet flooring in combination with a light skirting board will add solemnity to the snow-white door. If a room with such a design (provided that its area is more than 15 sq.m.) is cluttered with functional furniture, then you get a good option for a living room.

Bright walls (fuchsia, lime), charcoal or stone floor and light door leaf will emphasize the minimalist style in the interior.

What is better not to combine white door leaves?

A successful combination of color and texture of interior details sets the mood for the room, creates coziness. But, if the colors are chosen unprofessionally, then the situation can escalate. Despite the fact that white is suitable for everything, there are several tips in the arsenal of designers where they will look inappropriate..

Ivory walls. They are banned, because against the background of a snow-white door leaf they will look like dirty and outdated. Especially if such a stop is complemented by a reddish brown or dark beige floor covering.
Floral design bathroom. The light door in this case will become a nondescript detail that will give the style of a redneck. Only not that redneck, which in the world is called “Provence” or country “, but provincial and tasteless.
Completely dark interior. If there is not a drop of light in the room, except for the door, then such an interior can be considered unsuccessful. The main rule of stylish room design is several parts of the same color. For example, if the bedroom has a dark floor, then the same curtains will be in harmony with it, and when using bright paints for decorating the walls with the same color, it is worth decorating decorative elements (vases, stands, pillows on the sofa).
