How To Choose Interior Doors According To Design Style

Interior Doors from Mikasa Doors

To create a cohesive look in your home interiors, all the individual design elements must work together to establish a single style. Selecting the right interior door style is just as important as selecting wall paint colors and furniture pieces. In this post, we share some key considerations you should keep in mind when shopping for interior doors for your home.

Work With A Color Palette

When choosing accent pieces for your home, it is important to take cues from the rest of the house. Carefully observe all the elements in your home and take note of the colors used. This will help you choose the perfect door and frames colors and tones to use in your interior design to complement or contrast with the rest of your home. Depending on your preference, you can go with paint colors, laminate surfaces, or different wood veneer shades and patterns for the surface. Wood laminates and veneers are available in a wide range of tones, from light Lakari natural and American or white ash to dark wenge wood.

Choose A Design Style

Depending on your preferred style of home decor, you can take your pick from among different wooden door design styles. Contemporary or modern style homes go well with sleek, clean, and simple door designs. Traditional home designs, on the other hand, often feature doors with panels. Some colorful or eclectic homes incorporate doors in a variety of solid and vibrant colors. For larger areas, you can also opt for double-leaf doors rather than single doors. Other common areas can benefit from doors with large glass panels to allow for greater visibility and natural light.

Select Finishing Details

Once you’ve selected the texture, color, and wood species for your door, you’ll need to choose the right accessories to match its style. First of all, choose a door frame in color and style that matches your door. Figure out whether you prefer your doors to swing to the left or to the right and place hinges accordingly. Opt for hardware that suits your home’s aesthetics. For example, if you have a modern home, simple hardware with clean crisp lines in any metallic color will do. Farmstyle homes often feature matte black hardware with curvier lines. On the other hand, traditional homes can even include antique door handles in brass or copper tones.
