Spending time at home major renovation, many owners of apartments and private houses sooner or later face the question of how to choose the right interior doors?
Basically, people start thinking about installing door structures at the end of the repair, although it is more correct to think about this moment before starting the repair work.
First you need to decide what kind of door design you want and what dimensions it will have.
The width of a standard doorway ranges from 80 cm to 1 meter; in this case, a standard single-leaf door is installed. The design of the door can be very diverse.
So how to choose interior doors so that they are not only pleasing to the eye, but also of high quality and last a long time?
Professionals advise adhering to certain points that can significantly help in choosing interior designs. Let's give them special attention.
The number and variety of doors can dazzle even knowledgeable people, let alone those who are faced with such a choice for the first time.
When purchasing, it is better to rely on certain parameters:
- Door design and dimensions. As a rule, the door is selected to match the dimensions of the existing opening. But, if you particularly like a certain design that is larger or smaller than the existing opening, nothing can be done about it - you will need to rebuild the opening itself;
- The material from which the door structure you have chosen is made. Of course, in terms of practicality and environmental friendliness, the leading position is occupied by doors made from natural wood. At correct processing the surfaces of such structures are distinguished by their good appearance and long service life;
- Design and color play a significant role when choosing a design. Doors are selected taking into account the overall design of the apartment. When choosing, you should remember that doors are only an addition to the overall composition of the room, and not its main part;
- Prices door designs are very diverse, you can find more budget options, but you shouldn’t expect high quality material. In any case, high-quality doors will not cost you cheap.
If you make a purchase based on these parameters, you will be able to choose good door designs that will last you a long time.
Now let's take a closer look at some of the items on the list to make your purchasing choice as easy as possible.
Interior door designs
If you want the interior structure to be durable, well insulating sound and heat (which, for example, is extremely important for the bathroom and toilet), then you need to opt for paneled doors.
They consist of a wooden frame, which is filled inside with panels (shields). Paneled panels, in turn, can be either hollow or with various fillers.
As an option, you can install panel doors. The design is also based on wooden frame, and instead of panels, the door is sheathed on both sides with a layer of some material.
Most often on the market you can see sheathing made from MDF sheets.
Some companies can make such interior structures to order, using only the material that the client chooses for the cladding.
The main advantage of panel doors is their high strength and durability.
If the width of the doorway exceeds one meter, then it is better to install a sliding compartment system or use structures with a special folding mechanism (accordion doors, for example).
Of course, such structures are more expensive and more difficult to install, but they allow you to save as much as possible. usable area apartments, opening along the walls or sliding right into them.
Compartment doors are very convenient for installation in narrow corridor and are best suited for entering a small bathroom or toilet.
The video clearly shows the advantages of using interior structures with folding and sliding mechanisms.
Materials
After determining the dimensions and design, you can proceed to the selection of material. It would be correct to install all the interior doors of an apartment or house at the same time.
If you install them one by one, then after certain intervals you may encounter the problem of missing the required material, its color or a certain shade, and different doors will naturally look discordant and disrupt general concept interior and apartment design.
When choosing doors, remember that it is better to choose those companies that use only safe, high-quality, environmentally friendly natural or artificial materials in the production of structures.
It is best if solid wood was used for the interior structure.
Veneered doors and doors made of laminated solid wood are also good, but they still fall short of solid wood.
If we talk about service life, beech, cherry and oak are considered the most durable. At the same time, the wood not only lasts a long time, but also has a presentable appearance.
Now let's study the advantages and disadvantages of the materials that manufacturers use when creating door structures.
Solid wood doors
The leading position in quality, as mentioned earlier, is occupied by solid wood. The advantages of the array are undeniable.
The material is durable, resistant to external influences, and provides decent sound and heat insulation.
Among the disadvantages, you need to pay attention to the fear of moisture (if installed in a bathroom or toilet, then after a while they will swell and will not be able to close), the presence of a lot of weight (due to the heaviness, severe subsidence of the structures is possible, which must be taken into account in order to carry out the installation correctly). their installation).
Glued solid wood has the same characteristics, only its price is slightly cheaper, and the color of the wood is more uneven.
Veneer products
Glued together pieces of pine (it is most often used) or other types of trees make up veneered structures.
Veneered doors have a beautiful appearance, at an affordable price and the possibility of coloring.
But after a certain amount of time, the surface of the material begins to dry out and the veneer delaminates.
In addition, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, veneered structures darken and swell when exposed to moisture, therefore, like solid wood doors, they cannot be installed in bathrooms and toilets.
It is important to remember that veneered surfaces do not withstand the effects of chemical additives, which are included in most detergents, therefore, to care for such doors you should buy special products suitable for them
Laminated structures
Laminated doors are lightweight, environmentally friendly and resistant to sun rays.
Laminated door structures are best suited for bathrooms and toilets, as they withstand moisture well, are easy to maintain and have a fairly reasonable price.
The disadvantages include poor sound insulation and thermal insulation (but since there are pipes with hot water, then in winter there will be no problems with the fact that laminated doors will not retain heat well).
It should also be remembered that laminated interior structures require careful handling, otherwise under the influence external factors they will begin to crumble and collapse.
The fragility that laminated doors are characterized by, and somewhat unpresentable appearance are the reason for installing such doors exclusively in the kitchen, in the bathroom and toilet, as well as on the loggia and balcony.
Glass structures
If the design of your apartment or house is modern, then glass door structures are best suited for installation.
Glass is moisture-resistant, visually expands the room, is not susceptible to the formation of fungi and mold, and is absolutely fire-resistant.
Structures made of simple tinted glass are installed in the kitchen, bathroom or toilet.
If the glass is expensive and made to order (for example, stained glass), then installing it in the living room or bedroom will decorate the room and add zest to the room. general interior.
Only professionals can correctly install stained glass structures; therefore, not only the material, but also the installation itself will cost you a decent amount.
Wherein glass doors They require extremely careful handling, as chips and cracks easily occur on them (if you have small children, it is better not to install such doors).
Plastic structures
Doors made of plastic are the most unpretentious in care and handling. They are not afraid of water, have excellent sound insulation, are durable and look very good.
They can be installed not only in the bathroom and toilet, but even in the living room or bedroom (with the right color and finish plastic structures fits almost any interior).
The disadvantages of plastic include its low flexibility and susceptibility to deformation.
So that you do not make a mistake when purchasing, the video below shows the appearance of each of the described materials.
Study their characteristics and distinctive features, and then no companies will be able to deceive you and sell low-quality material.
Color for interior design
When purchasing, the question also arises of how to choose the color of interior doors so that they correctly complement the overall interior. Some advice from professionals can help with this.
They advise, first of all, to take into account the color palette of the flooring. Secondly, take into account the color furnishings of the room.
If the room mainly has wooden furniture, then it is better to choose interior designs of the same tone.
For the bathroom and toilet, the doors can be matched both to the tone of the interior furnishings and to the general interior of the corridor leading to them.
If the floor covering, the color of the furniture and the design of the room are very different, it is better to choose doors of a neutral color or try to choose a color that will smooth out this contrast as much as possible and help connect the different parts of the interior into one whole.
As an option, in this case it is possible to make combined interior structures consisting of several materials.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account wall coverings and color accents in the interior.
Some designers even match doors to certain interior items: paintings by famous artists, expensive vases and figurines by popular artists, thereby creating bright spots in the interior.
They also advise painting doors and decorating them. various materials, making them truly exclusive.
The photo below shows examples of such interior structures with finishing.

We hope that this information and useful tips will help you make a successful purchase and install high-quality doors in your house or apartment that will not only last a long time, but will also decorate the overall environment with their appearance.

Currently, interior doors not only have the function of protecting against prying eyes, drafts, odors and noise, but also have aesthetic beauty. Thanks to coloring, door panels create harmony with the overall interior, give a special atmosphere and even affect mood and well-being. Therefore, it is so important to assess the situation in the room and choose the right color for the interior doors.
Popular colors
Doors almost always change the overall interior of a room beyond recognition due to their shade. Today, interior products are divided into light, dark and unusual colors:
- Light shades. The most popular light shades are soft gray, snow white, ash, ivory and beech. Such doors are universal option, which harmonizes with any interior.
Such popularity is understandable, because light-colored door leaves visually enlarge the room, create the effect of festivity, elegance and at the same time lightness and comfort. All of these tones have a positive effect on psychological health and mood.
If for some reason light interior doors seem faceless and boring, then it is recommended to purchase products with additional elements. For example, patterns made of gilding, bronze, glass inserts or unusual handles.
- Dark shades. Popular dark shades include brown, black, wenge, chestnut, and dark oak. These colors give the room sophistication, modernity and presentability. They attract the eye and become the central piece of the interior.
It should be noted that dark shades should not be purchased for a small room or office. Because thanks to such door panels, the rooms become gloomy and cramped.
- Unusual tones. Lovers bold decisions Interior products in original colors are appreciated. For example, a bright red door gives a unique vintage style, and also makes the overall interior of the room harmonious. Elegant and graceful blue easily fits into the classics, and bright, rich yellow lifts your spirits and fights blues.
For a long time, door panels were not considered important subject in an apartment or house, but now that a wide range of models is appearing on the construction market, people are paying more attention to shades, textures and additional door decors.
Correct and unusual combinations with floors, walls and furniture with decor will highlight the design and create a harmonious space.
With floor
Very often, the owners of an apartment or office select the shade of the product, focusing on laminate, linoleum and others. floor coverings. In this case, a single color scheme will be considered the most interesting and winning position. But if the room has a white or gray ceiling and the floor is quite dark, then the door should be purchased one or two shades lighter than the covering, thereby smoothing out the style of the room.
An interesting combination is mahogany parquet or linoleum and an interior door with a slight shade of red. It also happens that the tiles, laminate or linoleum and the entire furnishings in the apartment are quite light. In this case, the door product also needs to be purchased in a light shade. For example, alder, beech, ash, ivory. If it seems that the style is nondescript and boring, then the door must be diluted with elements made of wood, plastic or glass.
It is also worth noting that the interior door separates two rooms, which may have floor coverings of completely different colors. The ideal option in such apartments is to install door products, trim and baseboards in cold shades. It can be walnut, beech, natural oak.
With walls
When choosing the shade of the door leaf, the walls in the room also play an important role. Interesting combinations can be either a complete match of the color of the wallpaper or paint with the doors, or contrast. In addition, you can install a product that differs slightly in color from the walls. For example, a door leaf that is one tone darker than the wallpaper will stand out and create a special mood.
Creative personalities can afford bold color solutions. For example, if the paint on the walls is bright colors, then it is best to choose completely white doors. This interior will look fresh and stylish.
Furnished
Among most designers, the technique of complete combination or contrast of doors and furniture is very often used. One of the most unusual solutions is a veneered door leaf that has two different shades from each side. This is necessary when both rooms are completely opposite in style and shades. This product is made only to order and costs a fairly decent amount.
How to choose?
Making the right choice in favor of one color or another can sometimes be very difficult and many people turn to specialists for help. But it also happens that you have to make a decision yourself. In this case, before purchasing, you should familiarize yourself with some factors that influence the right choice.
It is worth paying attention to:
- Flooring color.
- The shade of wallpaper or wall paint.
- Furniture and accessories.
- General style of the room.
- Color of baseboards and platbands.
- Window frames.
Having analyzed the rules, it is necessary to make a choice of shade so that it either contrasts with the decor or is approximately combined with it. There are also universal tips for choosing door leaves. They will come in handy when it is difficult to decide and dare to make an expensive purchase.
If you decide to focus on the shade of the furniture, then it is best to take a closer look at the matte finishes of the doors. Such models will suit absolutely any situation. Light shades such as ash, ivory and beige are quite practical. After all, the stains, dirt and dust present on them are not noticeable. In addition, such models are ideally combined with original handles and various textured inserts.
Dark doors add sophistication to the room and attract everyone's attention. But before buying such shades, you should know that they are not suitable for a small room, and dirt and various defects are very noticeable on dark products. If door products from rooms open into the same hall, then it is best to install them the same in style, color, texture and decor. This way, the unified perception of the room will not be disrupted.
All world designers advise, in addition to walls, floors and furniture, to pay attention to the style of the room. After all, it is general form room or office will correctly determine which shade is worth purchasing and which one is better to refuse:
- For example, to styles art deco, loft, eclecticism, hi-tech, minimalism and other things modern trends Original door leaves in black or silver colors are ideal. As well as more common shades of wenge and dark oak. But it is worth noting that for high-tech it is best to purchase models without any inserts or lush patterns.
- Country, eclectic and modern Perfectly coordinates with warm-colored products. Such unusual and bright directions will be decorated with beech or ash door leaves with glass or plastic inserts. For bold options, it is recommended to purchase models with colorful patterns and sinuous lines.
- Baroque stands out for its pomp, wealth and luxury. Therefore, the doors must be selected accordingly. For example, massive light products made of natural wood with artistic carvings and gilded decor.
- Classic implies a certain severity and richness, so it is best to install models in light walnut or light oak color in such a room. The main thing is that the interior doorway includes laconic decorative elements or glass inserts.
- Ecostyle, as the name suggests, suggests the presence of only natural materials and shades. Therefore, wooden door panels are installed unpainted and untreated.
- IN rustic or Japanese The design may contain neutral shades, which are also perfect for any interior. For example, tones such as walnut, alder, oak and cherry.
- In an apartment with a direction country or Provence designers recommend inserting original doors light colors with an aging effect.
If there is a room a large number of metal, then you need to give preference to gray models.
Recently, in Europe and America, experts have suggested not combining canvases with different styles in the interior with floors, walls and furnishings. They advise purchasing models in neutral shades, for example, oak, beech, white, cream or gray colors. And in order to create a harmonious and complete picture, you need to add the same baseboards and trim to the room.
In any case, in the world of design there are no strict criteria by which it is necessary to acquire this or that shade. It all depends on a person’s taste, his imagination and sense of harmony. And this is considered more important than rules and prohibitions.
Interior door - this is one of the main parts of the interior. Therefore, when choosing interior , must be taken into accounta combination of quality, efficiency and design.
In order to choose exactly the product that will suit your home and meet your taste preferences, we suggest using the following useful tips, which will help you to be fully armed.
Types of interior doors
Swing doors
The most popular and common doors are swing They are right or left. As a rule, this type of interior doors is made from plastic or wood. Doors can be lined with plastic or veneer, and they can also be glued.
Advantages of swing doors:
- Give the design conservatism (traditionality)
- Variety of forms and designs
- Various price categories

- Huge selection of colors
- Huge selection of material options.
Disadvantages of swing doors:
- Take up extra space in the room
- Wooden doors over time they “swell” and lose their shape
- They require maintenance of the hinges, which begin to creak over time.
Sliding doors
Less popular interior doors are sliding, which can be “hidden” in the wall, or such doors move along the wall. Such designs are more effective when used in small spaces. Sliding doors are made made of fiberglass or wood.
Sliding doors are wonderfully used in studio apartments, for example, if you need to temporarily separate the dining room from the kitchen, and then, if desired, combine them again.
Advantages of sliding doors:
- Increase usable area
- Adds space to the room
- Give originality to the room
- Increase the possibilities of design solutions.
Disadvantages of sliding doors:
- Allows light to pass through
- Odors pass through
- Poor sound insulation
- High price
- Weak design.
Folding doors
The next type of interior doors is folding doors. They are very convenient compared to swing door. A folding door consists of leaf sections moving along a guide. These doors are suitable for bathrooms, dressing rooms and other rooms with a small opening for doors.
Advantages of folding doors:
- Save space
- Strong
- Reliable
- Functional
- Mobile
- Convenient to transport.
Disadvantage of folding doors is that they can only be installed in small openings, otherwise the structure will not function normally.
Criteria for choosing interior doors
1. The first criterion for choosing interior doors is manufacturing material. It must be environmentally friendly, natural material, for example natural veneer or solid wood. Not less important paintwork doors, which should be harmless to health. Very high-quality coating is usually expensive.
The last layer on the door should be varnish. Its quality can be checked in a simple way: Press your fingernail onto the varnish surface and if a mark remains, it is a low quality varnish.
For your information! Varnish coating- This is one of the expensive components of interior doors, so manufacturers often save on this material.
2. Study carefully condition of the door surface, which must be without flaws. Run your palm over the door and make sure there are no roughness, unevenness or chips.
3. Study carefully door color, which must be clean and uniform. There should be no stains or inclusions of a different color on your interior door.
Regardless of the layer of paint on the door, it should be visible natural structure. Sometimes unscrupulous manufacturers try to hide door defects with tinting. Such products, of course, are not worth buying.
4. The next criterion is evenness of the canvas. Carefully examine the doors for existing differences and irregularities. Interior doors must be perfectly straight.
5. If the door has glass, then pay attention to quality of seals and silicone sealants at the joints.
6. A quality door must have seal.
7. Pay attention to the frame, trim and finishing of the interior door - it should be same color and quality.
8. Also pay attention to complete set. Serious manufacturing companies that value their reputation additionally complete their interior doors with a frame and trim.
9. Take a good look seal, which should be in door frame. If the seal is soft, it means good quality, and if it is hard, it will not adhere well to the surface.
10. Presence of a vestibule also indicates the high quality of the product. The porch serves for sound insulation and thermal insulation.
11. You ask: "What is the key to the durability of an interior door? We answer: these are solid massive tree species (oak, wood, beech, cherry).
But! Doors made of hardwood need to be varnished periodically.
12. Class fire safety doors are also important. The higher it is, the safer the product will be. You can ask the seller about this property in more detail.
Which interior doors to choose? Measurements
1. Before you go shopping for an interior door, be sure to take a tape measure with you, which can also help determine the quality of the product.
Use a tape measure to measure the door you like diagonally.(from corner to corner). You should get two measurements, and the difference between them should not exceed 1 mm. If the difference in measurements exceeds the norm, this means that the door is of poor quality.
2. Look at the door leaf from all ends. If you see a characteristic “figure eight” instead of a straight edge, it means the wood that was used to make the interior door was dried incorrectly. It's better not to buy such a product.
To the above, we can add that only factories with modern equipment can produce high-quality interior doors that meet international standards.
Which glazing is better to choose for interior doors?
1. Now let's check glazing quality interior door. Take the door in your hands and shake slightly. If you hear rattling, this indicates poor glass fastening, which in turn may indicate low quality of the product as a whole.
2. If on the door frosted glass, then inspect it for presence of cloudy or greasy stains. If such stains exist, you should not purchase such a door, because such a defect can only be removed with the help of special equipment.
3. Be sure to ask the seller about origin of glass. It would be better if it was impact resistant. But in order to save money, you can pay attention to strained glass, which, when broken, bursts into small pieces, thereby preventing injury to a person.
I would also like to add that the variety of door leaves with glass inserts (panels) allows you to match them to almost any room design.
After all, the various types of glass (stained glass, corrugated, colored, frosted) that are presented on the interior door market are impressive in their design. And even fish, flowers, and insects are placed inside the synthetic glass, which looks very impressive.
4. Product price– an important factor influencing the choice of a particular door.
Today, Italian interior doors, like all Italian furniture, are considered best in the world rightfully so for many centuries. As additional evidence of this statement, we can mention the fact that there are such old wooden Italian doors that it is not possible to determine their age.
Representatives of the best Italian furniture factories look for and collect wood Worldwide, then restoring and painting it by hand using ancient technologies. Of course these are unique wooden panels, but also their prices are also impressive.
An alternative to interior doors with artistic painting are doors made from aged wood obtained artificially.
Besides, domestic producers They can also offer no less interesting, but at the same time affordable models with glazing.

How to choose an interior door (video)
I have been selling doors for more than 10 years, and in this article I will tell you what to look for when choosing doors for rooms, baths, toilets or kitchens.
Typically people choose doors based on the following parameters:
- according to the materials from which the doors are made (solid wood, veneer, eco-veneer, laminate)
- by color
- by design (solid, with glass, with a pattern)
- by design (sliding, single or double, hinged, folding)
- by price
Attention
In my experience, the optimal doors are VENEED and Eco-veneer
Selecting interior door material
The sound insulation, durability and appearance of the door depend on the material.
Veneer.
Pros: The most important advantage is that this is a natural coating. Veneer is thin sheets of wood that have a natural color and structure. You can add to the advantages - environmentally friendly material, unique texture, aesthetics of the material.
Cons: Since it is natural product and has a natural color, there is a possibility of different tones, that is, one canvas can be lighter or darker, similar to the model. This is not so noticeable when the doors are located far from each other, but if it is a double-leaf door or the doors are located not far from each other, then the different tone will be clearly noticeable. And the factory manufacturer does not accept this phenomenon as a defect and they are right, Mother Nature still takes its toll.
If you want to be surrounded by at least some portion of nature in our modern synthetic world, veneer doors are what you need.
Eco-veneer is a polypropylene film that naturally imitates various wood textures and is environmentally friendly.
- the coating does not fade under the influence of sunlight,
- resistant to chemical attack,
- does not crack or peel due to temperature changes and mechanical stress.
- the ability to simulate the structure of various types of wood;
- wear resistance and durability (thanks to the vacuum production method);
- wide choice of colors.
Very big the lineup in the "Modern" style and a combination of various non-standard color solutions, gives you complete freedom to create your own personal design. Relatively resistant to mechanical stress, doors with eco-veneer coating will easily get along with your four-legged friends.
Laminate.
Pros: the main advantage of laminated doors is their cost, since in most cases honeycomb filling is used (the frame of the door is made of coniferous species wood is lined with MDF or hardboard). Many of you have come across laminated doors in new buildings with so-called ready-made renovations.
Availability, variety of colors and models are the main advantages of laminated doors..
Disadvantages: fragility and brittleness; from experience I can say that the film peels off quickly and they will not last long.
Choosing the color of interior doors
General rule for any decor: dark colors visually make the room smaller, while light ones make it larger. An exception is a door with a lot of glass: a dark frame will not affect the visual effect, but will look more noble.
The most popular door colors for 2013

| Wenge | Brown | Black | Nut | White |
With or without glass
A door with glass is more elegant. It can be placed everywhere, incl. in the bathroom. Lots of design options. The most common options for glass inserts in devry:
1. Transparent
2. Matte
3. Tinted
4. Embossed
5. Dyed
6. Mirror
7. Sandblasted or engraved design
8. Stained glass
9. With metal decorative elements
Inserts may vary in size. There are doors almost entirely made of glass with a narrow frame made of a different material. Disadvantage: glass doors are somewhat more expensive than solid ones. In terms of strength, they are not much inferior to the deaf: they are made of triplex or tempered glass, such a door is difficult to break. If it does break, the tempered glass breaks into large, non-traumatic pieces, and fragments of triplex remain on the film.
In addition to glass, combined doors may include metal inserts: forging, embossing elements, etc.
Door opening type
There are 5 types of door opening options in total. Each one is convenient in its own way.
Single leaf
The classic version, the most durable design, is installed on hinges.
This type of door installation is more soundproof due to the tight fit of the door leaf to the frame (considering that almost all manufacturers make frames with seals).
Swing (double-leaf)
For openings with large dimensions, 2-leaf doors are installed. The advantage of this design is its practicality, as they say, hang it on the hinges and forget it.
Yes, over time you may need to grease the hinges so that they don’t creak, but you have to admit that even delicate ones can do it female hands and regular vegetable oil suitable for lubrication. It's much easier than sliding doors which we will talk about below.
Sliding.
They save a lot of space, they are an integral part of your design if you have it in your plans, and they look very stylish. Varieties: sliding door, pencil door. In some cases, the door is moved along the wall, in others it is retracted into a special niche in the wall (into a cassette).
In addition to single-leaf and double-leaf ones, there are cascade designs: movable leaves move along permanently fixed ones. They can be with a lower guide rail or with an upper suspension (the second option is stronger).
Disadvantages: doors are not very durable, the roller mechanism wears out. Installation is only possible if there is a long wall along which the canvas will move. More expensive than swing ones both during purchase and during operation.
Foldable.
The best option in terms of saving space: no opening space is required, no long wall is required for the movement of the canvas.
Disadvantage: least airtight design. Varieties: accordion, book.
Innovative solution recent years in the field of interior doors. When opening interior rotary doors, a mechanism is activated and the leaf moves to the side while simultaneously rotating around its axis.
The rotary-sliding rotary door mechanism is reliable, convenient and silent. In addition, it allows you to open the rotary door in any direction (toward or away from you), which is convenient in any room.
Door sizes
When purchasing doors, it is important to know exactly the size of the doorway. Since I have more than once encountered non-standard doorways - they were smaller in height and the doors had to be made to order.
ATTENTION: if you screeded the floor in your apartment (leveled the floors) and the thickness of the screed was more than 5 cm, then your door opening may be smaller than the standard one, take this into account.
