White interior doors in the interior

White interior doors are back at the peak of their popularity. They give the interior a unique chic and serve as a decoration for any room.

They are usually classified into species according to several criteria.

By the type of structure of the canvas:

• Paneled... First you need to figure out what a panel is. This is a decorative insert made from a piece of wood or plywood, which is inserted into the frame and fixed by entering the grooves. On such canvases, it is possible to apply different patterns and prints. This type of door is considered one of the most popular among buyers; they are bought not only for residential premises, but also for offices and other establishments.
• Shield... They can be both empty and solid. They are popular due to the fact that they are relatively inexpensive and look decent. They are easy to install yourself;

By construction type:

• Single leaf... This is a typical single sash model.
• Bivalve... Such a canvas consists of double flaps. They will be relevant for owners of spacious apartments and houses with wide doorways. They are usually made either deaf or with glass. The gaps in double-leaf structures are hidden with the help of rack and pinion devices, or in other words, a false strip.
• One and a half leaf... This type represents two canvases of different widths. At the same time, both sashes are functional. The sash of a smaller width is fixed in a fixed position, and, if necessary, opens;

By type of opening:

• Swing... The most common variation, where the canvas is held on a loop and opens with a movement from oneself or towards oneself. Some hinge models make it possible to open the door in both directions.
• Foldable... The most famous types of folding doors are called "book" and "accordion". The "book" is made of two or three parts and is assembled on hinges, and the "accordion" consists of doors connected to each other.

• Sliding... These door products are installed with limited space. The canvas is placed on special rollers and it moves along the guides parallel to the wall.
• Swivel or swinging... These products can be opened inward and outward. This mechanism requires a lot of space so that the flaps can move freely.

The following types of interior doors are also distinguished:

• Standard... Smooth surface, usually made of MDF. This type of door is considered one of the most popular among buyers and they are bought both for residential premises and for offices and other establishments;
• Glossy... These doors are in demand among designers because of their stylish look;

• With golden patina. Often these canvases with an artificially aged surface are installed in rooms where there is a classic style.
• Decorated... The decor is made on canvas using drawings, carvings, glass;
• With mirror... Visually increase the area of ​​the room. Mirrors for them are selected completely different - ordinary, with drawings, with a matte finish, slightly tinted. It all depends on the purpose of the room where they will be installed.

A very important criterion when buying interior doors is the material from which this or that canvas is made.

• Wooden... The most durable and reliable doors are made of solid wood.Wooden canvases are environmentally friendly, have excellent sound insulation and look very beautiful. Of the minuses - the high price, poor tolerance of humidity and temperature differences;
• MDF... Doors made of these materials are very popular with buyers due to their low price and the ability to make them cover any texture and color. The advantages also include the light weight of the structure, resistance to moisture, and the disadvantages, in turn, are poor sound insulation and the possible appearance of chips during a short period of operation;

• Glass... This type of material for doors is being used more and more often, despite the high cost. Thanks to the white glass doors, the room visually becomes larger and brighter. To the surprise of many, glass is a fairly durable material, resistant to fire and water, and unpretentious to use;
• Pvc... PVC doors are suitable for many premises, but most often they are installed in offices. Despite the relatively low cost, PVC products have good moisture resistance and are not capricious in their care. If desired, plastic doors can be supplemented with glass inserts.

According to the finishing methods, the doors are divided into veneered, laminated and painted with enamel.

• Bleached veneer canvases have a wood base sheathed with MDF or chipboard. Excellent in operation.
• Laminated ones are covered with a film impregnated with resin from synthetic components. This is a completely non-toxic composition.
• Doors painted with enamel are practical because they are made of natural wood and can be repainted if necessary. It is enough to remove a layer of old paint, sand and cover with fresh paint.

When choosing white interior doors, you need to pay attention to the dimensions of the opening with the box and the dimensions of the canvas. They are standard and non-standard. The standard dimensions of the doors, of course, are convenient in that, if necessary, the door can be replaced with another one without any problems and selection.

In practice, the following door sizes are most often found: in bathrooms, width is from 55 to 70 cm, height is from 190 to 196 cm.In kitchens, width is from 70 to 100 cm, in living rooms - from 80 to 100 cm, height is 200 cm. The depth of the door frame is usually standard - 7.5 cm. If the width is from 100 to 140 cm, then double-leaf doors are installed.

Sometimes standards are taken from GOST, but today this method is rarely used. In the case of non-standard dimensions, the canvases are made according to an individual order. These doors are more expensive than standard doors. In addition to individual sizes, you can choose a specific design and shape of the canvases. This will help make the room cozy.

Light doors in the interior always look stylish and refreshing. Smooth whites belong to the classics, they are used in absolutely all types of premises. Such canvases are painted in a certain white shade, laminated or under an MDF film. They can be solid or with glass inserts.

Glossy white canvases in the interior are considered solid options. Gloss is obtained by polishing the canvas or using varnish. These doors are an independent design element.

Door leaves with patina are made by sanding the coating, thereby creating the effect of artificial aging. After removing the layer of material, part of the product is covered with the desired shade, and the rest of the surface is lightened.

White doors decorated with drawings, stained-glass windows, metal details are also very popular. And if you add black inserts to them, you get an interesting combination. The black and white door can be made of wood, MDF or glass.

Choosing a door is not an easy process. After all, the design of the room also depends on the color, type, finish of the door product. They are carefully selected taking into account the color of the wallpaper, floor and furniture.

To emphasize the individuality of your home, you can purchase paintable doors and choose the desired color of the coating yourself. Unpainted doors are also purchased to reduce costs.

You can choose various bright colors for painting, but you need to be extremely careful with them, due to the fact that they will only fit a certain style in the interior. Therefore, in most cases, to cover interior doors, the owners of apartments and houses choose the classic white color, which is always in fashion.

It is necessary to take into account the temperature indicators and the level of humidity in the room. An important criterion in the choice of paint is also the material of the door covering. For solid wood structures, paints with any constituent components are used, and MDF and veneer are more capricious, not all paints and varnishes are suitable for them.

Another interesting option for decorating doors is wall murals. It is possible to depict almost any artistic idea on them, thereby complementing the style of the room. Most often, landscapes, animals, famous landmarks are chosen as images, and cartoon characters for children's rooms. Vertical application of patterns on such wallpapers is considered optimal, as it externally increases the height of the room.

Interior doors can also be decorated with paper murals using glue.

As noted above, the door market is represented by a variety of natural and artificial products, blind, paneled and glass. The latter are very popular with buyers. Canvases decorated with glass details represent a significant part of the decor of many apartments and houses.

Interior doors are often produced with stained glass. They represent a canvas and a stained-glass insert. The canvases, as is the case with the rest of the doors, can be made of any kind of material.

Door designs with frosted glass look very attractive and impressive. They are chosen not only for bedrooms and living rooms, but also as doors to the bathroom and kitchen. They perfectly transmit light and have good sound insulation.

Corrugated glass also perfectly adorns white door products. They can be grooved on one side or on both sides. With the help of such doors, a unique romantic atmosphere is created in the room.

Artificially aged wooden doors look very stylish in the interior. They are eco-friendly, do not cause allergies and have a chic appearance. This option is relevant at all times.

A correctly defined style of interior doors transforms the interior of any home. Among the main ones it is worth noting the following:

• Classic... This style is distinguished by the severity of forms. Classic style doors are made of natural wood or high quality veneer. Classic doors in white and white shades look especially beautiful. They emphasize the nobility and great taste of the owners;
• Neoclassic... Interior doors in the neoclassical style have strict symmetry and are made of expensive wood species. Suitable for large dwellings with high ceilings.

• Provence... Provence style design originates in France.The main material for the production of canvases in this style is natural wood, but if the budget is limited, then MDF is also used. Provence style doors are usually white patinated canvases. Often they are decorated with floral arrangements;
• Hi-tech. The use of simple geometric shapes and the combination of matte and glossy materials is the main definition of this trend. The style is characterized by minimalism and modern fashion trends. For this direction, metal and glass materials are used.

Most people choose doors at the end of their renovation work. After installation, it turns out that the door structures do not match the color scheme with the design of the apartment or house. Therefore, it is worthwhile to carefully select the shade of the product at the time of purchase. The color should be a couple of shades lighter than the floor covering. The texture match is not so important here.

White doors can be combined with dark flooring colors such as brown floors. The white floor looks organically in Provence-style rooms.

For this to succeed successfully, skirting boards can be used. Some time ago, there was an opinion that the color of the plinth and the floor should match. But today this opinion has completely changed. Now the shade of the skirting board is matched to the door leaf, resulting in a stylish combination.

Superb white interior doors combine with white flooring in the hallway. Thanks to this combination of colors, you can visually increase the space in the hallway, which is often declared as the smallest room in the apartment. In addition, the white color will refresh it and make it lighter.

If we talk about the combination with the walls, then it is worth noting that absolutely any colors are suitable for white products. But designers consider the best option to combine white doors with bright walls such as green, purple, blue.

The main advantages of white interior doors include:

• Ease. White doors bring it into the interior and thus make the room airy;
• The effect of increasing space. Due to the light color of the doors, the room is visually enlarged. Especially in the case of installing canvases with a glossy finish.
• Versatility. White canvases are versatile and suitable for any style and color scheme of the apartment.

White interior doors, regardless of material and texture, must be cleaned with non-abrasive detergents. This must be done with care so as not to leave scratches and streaks on the canvas.

To shine the door surface after washing, it can be treated with a special wax agent. But the selection of wax is required for the appropriate type of material. The advantage of this tool lies in the fact that it can polish cracks and scratches.
