When choosing a door, you can be guided by various combination options.

To prevent the door from looking like a lurid stain, it is important to think about its combination with the color of the floor. In most cases, either the door leaf itself or the racks are in harmony with the floor in shade. If racks are combined with the floor, then the door is recommended to be decorated in a contrasting shade.

Many people equip their rooms with skirting boards. It is best to choose them in the same style as the door panels. This option will be especially relevant if the door is made of wood. In case the door partition is made of plastic using bright colors, you can choose a neutral shade for the skirting boards, which will not differ much from the floor.

The most harmonious option is one in which the door is several tones darker than the walls. It is better to install a light structure if the walls in the room are painted in a bright or pastel shade. If the door itself plays an accent role in the interior, then it is more expedient to make a monochromatic muted color of the walls without drawings and ornaments.

Door designs are not always flaunted. Many people have a desire to hide the door so that it cannot be immediately noticed among other interior details. There are several techniques for making the door in a room invisible:

• If you have plain walls, then you can choose a smooth door panel without embossing and paint it the same shade. The doorway should also not be decorated with uprights and thresholds. Some also disguise the handle so that it cannot be seen from the inside of the room.
• If the walls are decorated, sometimes it is even easier to disguise the door structure using dark pattern lines at the joints. Sometimes the walls are finished with wooden vertical panels. In this case, the lines of the doorway may be completely invisible.
• A more original way of disguising is to attach the shelves to the side of the door that is in the room. The shelves can contain books, knickknacks and other accessories. The main thing is to create a filled space that will hide the presence of a door. To secure the shelves, it is important that the surface of the door leaf is perfectly flat.

• A simple option is to post pictures. It is advisable to hang them not only on the doors, but also on adjacent sections of the wall. In this case, the door leaf should also be painted in the color of the walls.
• Sometimes a mirror is hung in place of the door, the height of the entire wall. This option can be useful and beautiful, but its disadvantage is that the mirror will need to be washed often, because the door is used daily.

• The door itself can become a painting. From the side of the room, a whole panel is painted on it, landscapes and drawings using a volumetric effect.
• Sometimes a small cornice is installed in the room in front of the door and the entire opening is closed with a decorative curtain. With the help of such a detail, you will not only hide the door, but also periodically change the appearance of the room.
• Often, for the zonal division of the space, overall glass doors are installed. When they are made of transparent glass, the fact that not just an arch is installed, but a whole door mechanism is not always striking.

There are many techniques to transform an ordinary interior door into a stylish piece of furniture.

Designers offer many creative solutions for the design of the doorway:

• You can make an arch of bookshelves around the door leaf. Such a composition will look especially beautiful if it is made of wood.
• The door can have a folding front and transform into other objects. A popular transformation option is a tennis table.
• Sometimes LED lamps are built into modern doors, thereby transforming the product into an original source of decorative lighting.
• By transferring doorways, an original layout is often made. Two doors located next to each other on adjacent walls look very compact and original. At the same time, it is important that they are decorated in the same style.

• To create a real effect of increasing space, you can use a wooden door on a fully mirrored wall. This creates the feeling that the door is literally "hanging in the air" without any fasteners.
• The effect of a broken wooden surface is a very creative technique for decorating door products. This option may not always look aesthetically pleasing, but it will definitely make a lasting impression on your guests.
• A practical option for a kitchen door is to create an area in the canvas where you can write with chalk. The so-called board door will become a useful attribute in a room where there are small children. It is convenient to write recipes on such a board or attach notes to it using magnets.

Regardless of which design and material you choose when buying a door, remember that the design should not only be practical, it should also reflect your personal taste and personality. Only if these conditions are met, you will make your apartment truly stylish and beautiful.
