If we were faced with the task of ranking the most popular color design doors, which Belarusians most often choose for their doors, we are sure that dark ones would take first place...
And this is not at all because we are such a boring and unoriginal people. Just really dark doors are practical and versatile.
Therefore, why not make sure that they do not look like an ugly black spot against the background of a light interior, but rather match the color combination of the objects in the room?!
And this, I must say, a whole science... But let’s first determine what the advantage of dark interior rooms is:
they look stylish, fit any interior, and are universal;
a practical solution: they are not easily soiled and do not require careful care;
have a presentable appearance in interiors of various styles.
But such doors also have their drawbacks: dust is clearly visible on them and there is a chance of making the room gloomy if the walls and interior items in the room are the same.
So how can you maintain this harmony and make your apartment cozy and pleasant to be in? Simple but effective rules will help you with this...
The combination of the color of the floor and doors can both highlight the advantages of the room and make it visually repulsive. Depending on the size of the room, the presence of windows and the degree of illumination, you need to select a specific combination option for a specific apartment.
Dark floor
Dark flooring and dark doors in the interior can be the same shade or different. To avoid creating a gloomy feeling in the apartment, it is best to use light-colored furniture and ceiling for this combination.
But if your room has high and white ceilings, a large window, then you can safely try to combine a dark door not only with the floor, but also with furniture or even walls.
But remember: dark laminate suitable for dark doors, provided that the tree pattern will be the same(but the shades may not be combined).
Light floor
With this combination interior doors can be the same shade as furniture or walls. IN bright interior dark doors can serve as a color accent. Dark trim or baseboards will help enhance the effect.
But you need to be mentally prepared for such a combination, because dark color will create a bright contrast.
The role of baseboard color
The choice of baseboard color may seem like an insignificant detail, but it is not - even this determines whether your interior will look cohesive and harmonious. The choice of shade also depends on the color of the floor, walls and door shade.
Light baseboard
A light baseboard with a dark door can be combined with any color scheme. And it’s even better if the baseboard matches the tone of the floor.
Dark baseboard
A dark baseboard with a dark door is suitable for light walls and dark floor, or for light floor and dark walls.
This option is for those who do not intend to visually highlight the doorway.
Choosing wallpaper for walls
Select wallpaper again based on the specifics of the room and its dimensions.
White, beige, yellow, light pink make the room visually larger, and the dark door does not get lost against this background, but rather stands out.
If you want to disguise the doorway, then, of course, dark wallpaper will help you with this, which will blend with the color of the doors.
Bright wallpaper will become an accent that will not interfere with dark doors. Just think first, whether there are too many accents for one room...
Combination with furniture
A dark doorway against the background of light furniture, as we have already said, will act as a color accent, contrast and a rather bold color transition. This combination can most often be found in modern interiors.
At the same time, you can not be afraid to choose the deepest shade of the door - this will not spoil the visual perception of the space.
Dark furniture
Dark doors in a dark interior will look more interesting and attractive if door leaf stained glass or glass will be inserted - this will also provide more lighting in the room and visually increase the space.
When choosing exactly this combination, be prepared for the fact that dark doors are not so easy to combine with dark furniture, as it might seem at first glance.
It is also worth considering that the room should be no less than average size.
Have you decided on this option? Then choose furniture that is lighter or darker than the doorway, then you can create a truly chic style.
Rules for choosing the color of interior doors
Dark brown
This color is perhaps the most popular. It includes shades of dark oak, walnut and wenge. But at the same time dark walnut looks lighter than the others and does not hide the space.
By the way, when installing the door leaf and floor, it is better to make the wood fibers in the same direction in the drawing.
Black
Black doors look massive, but at the same time stylish. This option is suitable in combination with a light interior under white or milky walls.
You can also use bright finishes and decorative items.
Dark grey
But such interior doors are rarely used and are best suited for modern interiors.
They can be combined with light gray furniture, white ceiling and trim.
Styles
Classical
For a classic interior, a solid door with carvings and solid wood panels is suitable. For a small room it is suitable with a glass insert.
Lush fittings, gold inserts, and floral patterns are characteristic of the Baroque style.
A dark door in a classic-style living room goes well with burgundy, green, gold, and beige colors.
Modern
For a modern style, cheaper materials are suitable. On doorway there is no emphasis, so wavy lines, complex patterns and intricate inserts are inappropriate here. Doors for high-tech should be simple, glossy, with an insert.
IN modern interior usually dark doors are combined with beige and white shades, as well as bright elements decor.

Dark doors in apartment interiors can be seen quite often, but not everyone manages to use them harmoniously in the existing interior design. The palette of possible shades of dark doors is not so wide, and there is a risk of making a mistake when choosing suitable color disproportionately large.
The selection of interior doors for any room must be carried out taking into account the color combination of all interior elements. It is with this requirement that numerous mistakes are associated when combining doors with other furnishings. Dark doors are best for modern styles decoration of premises, however, there are some subtleties here too.
Combination of dark doors with light floors
Playing on the contrast between light flooring and dark doors is quite effective design technique. To further emphasize the contrast, trims and baseboards in the color of the canvas are used, while the interior amazes with its strict elegance.
The design solution “light floor – dark doors” can be called bold and a little daring, suitable only for rooms of a large area. The main emphasis is placed on the dark surface of the door leaf and light shades of other interior elements. If the color scheme of the room is varied, and individual elements the interior is too bright, then the desired effect will be impossible to achieve - contrast cannot be achieved due to the apparent diversity of the situation.
One of the special cases of combining dark doors with a light floor is the installation of black doors in a light interior. This solution adds sophistication to the room and creates original style. The visual effect can be achieved through combination with other interior elements. Light-colored floors also look great in cases where the color scheme is uniform and the floor is only a couple of tones lighter than the door leaf. To visually expand the space, in this case the walls are also made light.
It must be remembered that the contrast must be clearly defined, otherwise the interior will look blurry and inexpressive. There is also a risk that dark doors will stand out too clearly in a light environment - plays a big role right choice baseboard, which must have a similar shade to the doors.
Types of combinations
Dark doors in the interior of the room, photos of which indicate the effectiveness of such a design solution, can be combined with other interior elements in the following ways:
- Soft transition;
- Achromatic contrast;
- Complete merger.
With a soft transition, dark-colored doors allow you to diversify the color scheme without sharp differences between shades. It is important that the canvas has a similar design to the trim, furniture, decoration, and various accessories with minor differences in tone.
Achromatic contrast suggests sharpness. In this way, attention is focused specifically on the door, while simultaneously connecting it with any element of the interior. For harmonious combination all shades with a dark door are used predominantly neutral shades- white, gray, brown.
In case of complete merging, each decorative element must duplicate the color of the door. There are no sharp contrasts, and interior decoration is limited to only a few colors.
Combination methods
As an exception, dark interior doors in a light interior can be combined with certain elements of the room. The most typical and common cases can be identified:
- With walls that use decorative inserts in dark colors;
- With platbands matching the color of the floor or baseboard;
- With floor covering;
- With furniture that has a texture similar to the door leaf;
- With decorative elements, such as paintings in wooden frames;
- With windows.
Doors black
The simplest and most harmonious option for using dark doors in the interior is to use black doors. Black doors, as well as white ones, can be easily combined with any colors, but they look massive and too heavy.
The best solution for harmoniously fitting black doors into the interior is their combination with white and light tones with unobtrusive dark accents. Milky and beige shades in the decoration of the room, gray tones are perfect for this. To add brightness you can use yellow colors, with the addition of orange and red. Greenish and lavender shades, blue tones will make the interior more calm.
All interior elements are linked together through skirting boards, platbands, decorative elements. Also, black doors look good in combination with colored textiles and bright accents in the design of the floor and walls.
Using gray shades
Gray shades of dark doors are used much less frequently in the interior of residential premises. Such design solutions are used mainly in loft, shabby chic, and hi-tech styles.
Using gray shades It is important to achieve the correct balance of tones. Gray color is extremely variable in shades, making combinations of various interior elements possible. The most successful are combinations of various variations of light gray, as well as the use of white trim and light flooring.
It is not recommended to combine gray with black - this combination looks too rough, unlike the combination of gray with purple or blue. A solution with the addition of gray is considered successful bright colors- green, crimson, turquoise or yellow.
When decorating an interior in a shabby style, you should use a lighter palette. For hi-tech ideal solution is the use of saturated gray, since the style itself involves the use of stainless steel and aluminum - materials that go perfectly with the gray palette. For the rustic romantic style Country dark doors in gray tones are used with a slight touch of wear. An aged door leaf goes well with a small cabinet or a massive old chest of drawers. One single interior detail allows the door to harmoniously fit into the overall picture.
Color variations
When decorating rooms, it is not at all necessary to focus on interior doors of only dark colors. If the calmness of the interior is not to your liking, then the best solution is to add small bright splashes that attract the eye.
Nowadays there is a huge assortment of doors, and therefore there are no difficulties with choosing color models. The only significant limitation is the need to adhere to a certain range, both deep and saturated colors and muted ones.
When choosing, you should pay attention to the following options colors:
- Plum;
- Blue;
- Emerald;
- Burgundy;
- Violet;
- Dark olive.
Each of these colors adds color to the decor and is ideal for rooms decorated in modern or fusion styles, especially spacious studio apartments.
The optimal combination of colored doors is obtained with textiles and furniture. To further highlight and focus attention on the furniture, white and dark inserts are used, for example, trim, wallpaper, flooring.
The best solution for darkened colored canvases is the use of different cladding for each side. This allows you to perfectly select the design and style for each room, and at the same time maintain the overall style of the hallway or corridor.
The dark color of the door leaf can be diluted with light shades by adding original drawing. The most popular solution is to apply a 3D ornament, which can also be combined with textile elements using exactly the same tones and decorative elements.
Combination of light doors with dark floors
The combination “dark floor - light doors” is often used to create an interior in black and white. This combination emphasizes the clarity of lines and expressiveness of each decorative element.
The combination of light doors and dark floors fits perfectly into both classic and minimalist styles, and is widely used in country style. The harmony of the combination of these tones allows you to create a complete, complete composition.
The way the doors and floors look, their condition, texture and color can say a lot about the house as a whole, about the character of the owners, about their tastes and preferences. Therefore, when starting renovations in an apartment, you need to carefully consider how you want all these elements to look.
Peculiarities
Once upon a time, the norm for any respectable apartment was a dark wenge-colored floor. Any person entering the house saw dark floors, which stylistically could be completely unrelated to the color of the baseboards, walls, doors and furniture, united by one color scheme or any other design idea. This state of affairs was standard and did not bother anyone. For some time now, when creating the image of an apartment, designers and ordinary people began to pay attention to the combination of floor and door colors. Recently, the combination of light floors with light doors has become increasingly popular.
Light doors have their own characteristics, both positive and negative:
- White and light, including the doors, creates the impression of lightness and solemnity. Next to white doors, even bulky furniture does not seem heavy and does not leave a feeling of cramping.
- Light doors, unlike dark ones, fit well into almost any interior style. It is only necessary that the shade of the door leaf be combined with the shade of the furniture, wallpaper and floor.
- A white or light-colored door visually increases the space, which is very important in small rooms.
- A glossy light door leaf also has its advantages. It seems like there is more sun in the room with it. The effect of its presence is especially important in the gloomy space of the hallway.
- If the walls are decorated with materials similar in color to bright doors, even a small room will seem big.
- Of course, light-colored doors are easily soiled, but modern cleaning products make it easy to deal with this problem.
- Compared to dark-colored door panels, white and light ones may seem frivolous and lacking in impressiveness. This simplicity and uncomplicatedness is compensated by the use of trim of a different color.
Light-colored floors have a number of similar features:
- With their help you can increase the illumination of the room. This is especially important for small rooms facing north. This flooring will add coziness to the room; it will make it seem larger and more comfortable.
- A room with light floors is psychologically perceived as a place with a lot of air and lightness. To achieve this effect, you should choose a coating of beige, cream, butter or light yellow shades.
- A light floor will make the room visually wider. It should be borne in mind that if it turns out to be lighter than the wallpaper, the room will appear larger in height rather than in width.
- Light flooring goes well with any furniture, doors and walls. Against its background, dark, impressive furniture will not seem gloomy and massive. A dark door against a light flooring can create an advantageous contrast, which is sometimes necessary for certain design solutions. Light floors and doors will be an excellent duet, emphasizing the lightness of the entire environment.
- Of course, compared to dark floors, light ones do not seem respectable enough. Many people consider this a disadvantage, even if expensive white oak is used to create the floor.
To prevent light floors from looking cheap, it is better to choose matte materials rather than those with a glossy sheen.
- When choosing a coating of a light shade, there is a risk of “overdoing it” with its airiness and getting a completely different effect than was expected. Instead of a cozy atmosphere, you can achieve the opposite, so you need to evaluate in advance all the nuances of choosing the future color of the floors.
- Thus, pure white color under certain lighting is greatly distorted. You can get an undesirable result when such floors take on yellowish or creamy shades in the light of the lamps. It should be taken into account that daylight and halogen lighting do not distort the color. If it is not, then in order not to create a yellowish tint, it is better to choose floors with a gray undertone.
- On light-colored floors, dirt is sometimes more noticeable than on dark ones, so it is recommended to select a light-colored coating for rooms where traffic is not very high (for example, bedrooms and children's rooms).
Choosing a color
The choice of color for floors and doors is determined by many factors: what design of the apartment is provided as a whole, what color wallpaper and ceilings should be in certain rooms, how light penetrates into the house, and so on.
Doors
There are a number of colors that are most in demand when installing doors.
- White. This color is called universal for interior doors because it is neutral and goes well with the entire decor of the room. It will not conflict with any floor color and will go well with any wallpaper and furniture. White is good for small apartments, which it makes visually larger. It is most beneficial to use a white door leaf in the hallway in combination with light floors. If you add interior white door glass inserts (frosted or stained glass), it will take on an elegant look.
If a pure white door seems too tacky to you, or you just don’t like this shade, opt for a color very close to white (for example, Ivory). Dear models doors are made from solid oak or ash, which look good in interiors classic style. Oak gives the impression of good quality. Ash doors will look elegant and at the same time durable.
- Grey. It can also be classified as universal. If this color has a blue tint, the doors will seem slightly cold, making the interior austere. Gray-beige door leaves, on the contrary, will fill everything around them with warmth. It should be borne in mind that gray color visually reduces space, so small rooms It is better not to install such doors.
There is no place for gray doors in a room decorated in a classic style.
Combining gray with brown or black is not the best option, since it causes rejection for many. On the contrary, a duet with yellow gives the space an atmosphere of sunshine. A light gray door looks great in combination with white furniture, emphasizing its cleanliness.
- Beige. Neutral color from the light brown group. Its range of applications is wide, but against the background of such doors, dark furniture will not look very advantageous. If you like this color and cannot refuse it, it is better to complement the doors with skirting boards and trim of the same shade. Beige goes well with gray or white, and looks great in the company of grass color.
- Gold. A door of this tone is chosen by people in love with sunlight. They will be delighted by the color of golden oak, which enlivens the space.
Floor coverings
The colors of the floor coverings are presented in the following popular shades:
- Maple color. Of all the light wood species, maple is closest to white color, however, with yellow tint, which is also called cream. You need to be prepared for the fact that maple floors do not retain their original color forever. It will become darker over time.
- Oak color. Oak itself is not white by nature. It is whitened using special means. After such “dressing”, you can get different shades of oak, from which the buyer will only have to choose the color of the coating: from gray to warm cream.
- Hornbeam color. There are certain difficulties in processing such wood, so hornbeam floors are much less common than the above options. The color of the hornbeam is whitish-gray. Floor coverings are found in off-white, pearl and sand shades.
- Birch color. Birch is a very common flooring material in Russia. There are variants of white birch with a yellowish or pinkish tint.
Birch is also tinted, giving it the appearance of the most valuable species light wood.
Stylish combination
In the apartment you can use floors of different colors and textures. Laminate, parquet and parquet board different colors will get along quite well in one house, you just need to think through the transitions from one color to another, combining them common elements- a similar wood pattern or shade of “veins”. The combination of dark doors with light floors looks good. The door leaf may not match the color of the floor or furniture at all, you just need to choose trim that matches overall design colors that match, for example, the same baseboard.
Light floors and light doors, different in texture, nevertheless harmonize the space. In the room, light wallpaper and light doors should match each other in tone, but have different shades. WITH practical point In terms of view, the combination of light floors and doors in a room is more advantageous, since they last for many years, and when updating the interior, the owners will not be limited by the narrow framework of combining these basic elements with this or that furniture and wallpaper. Anything will go with a light background. At any time, you can combine a light floor with dark furniture or, conversely, light furniture, and a light door and the same floor with dark walls.
Interior accents
When updating floors and doors, it is important to correctly place accents that highlight the advantages of the interior. The beauty of the flooring and doors can be emphasized with furniture of the right color. It is considered good form when the color of the furniture matches the door leaf, and at the same time the door itself differs from the floor by a couple of tones. This technique is good for maintaining the interior in a classic style.
Much attention should be paid to choosing a skirting board of a suitable color, as it can perfectly complete the image of doors, a room in general, and flooring in particular. It looks most impressive if combined single color floor, doors and baseboard. All components, made in white, go well together. Beige, gray or cream colors will also complete the look of your living room or bedroom. Contrasting colors of skirting boards in relation to doors and floors, on the contrary, will emphasize the geometry of the rooms and indicate boundaries.
Black interior doors in the interior will not look appropriate in every apartment. This is a very strict, elegant and solemn color, a subtle design move. Such doors combine well with both light and dark walls. But in the first case, they will definitely require you to select suitable furniture and accessories. In the future, pay attention - in all the photographs that we will consider, the interior must have a similar shade - black or chocolate. If they can be practically apart, then the number will not work with black.

"Styles"
It’s easy to imagine in any apartment – but pure black is not such a trivial choice. Wenge-colored doors are usually chosen by amateurs classic interiors. Indeed, this shade looks very stylish and expensive, does not require much support, sometimes a dark brown color is enough to become a match for it. But we suggest taking a look at radical solutions with black doors in the interior, and perhaps taking something to note.
"Colonial style"
- Heavy double doors, varnished, are suitable for a traditional or colonial style, rich in details, complex and a little gloomy. Colonial style presupposes the presence of a large amount of dark shiny furniture, so doors the color of dark chocolate are perfect option for layout. If a warm red-brown tone prevails in the interior, as in the illustration below, add black in accessories. Primitive shiny lampshades play the role of accents, shading the dark door - their similar symmetrical arrangement looks especially impressive.
"Modern style"
- Modern style with a hint of minimalism accepts doors of any color, as long as they fit organically into the color palette. A white door could have been included in this interior, but the height of the ceilings and the presence of a dark chest of drawers allowed the owners to take a bolder step. Please note that dark doors do not look cold and uninviting even when surrounded by light walls and warm walnut floors. It's all about delicate processing, when black doors are coated with matte rather than shiny varnish - this makes them look more velvety and pleasant. The choice of handles is also significant - not sparkling strict chrome, but brushed brass.
"Classic style"
- Contrary to fears, black colors can look great even in rooms built entirely on light shades. But for this to work, the size of the room must be really large - this technique looks most impressive in living rooms, dining rooms and spacious kitchens.
- Of course, in this situation, the floors should not be too light - it is allowed to use brown, in a tone not lower than average. As you can see, gentle beige color walls, silver furniture and golden textiles are not a hindrance to black. Of course, it's all about quality support. Its role in the interior is played by fireplace portal, placed neatly between two black doors, and a black carpet border extending into the center of the room. This way the far wall doesn't look overloaded.
"Combinations"
Having analyzed the styles, let's move on to more practical examples– consider interesting color combinations with black doors. The owners are usually not afraid of renovations - any shade of the walls will look great with them. Is this true in our case? 
"Black + black"
- Here is a monochrome combination for daredevils! Although it looks very impressive, few people will decide to decorate their interior in this way, except perhaps true lovers of black. Please note that it does not merge with the wall - the difference in texture saves us from an optical illusion, and there is not much pure black in the room. A thin stripe on the wallpaper is interspersed with gray, the floor is dark brown, like the carpet, and the light green sofa distracts attention. The lacquered black door looks vintage in this setting, giving the style a retro feel.
“Black + black and white interior”
- We looked at a similar example in the article about white doors in the interior - but there preference was given to light-colored doors. Here the situation is different - the self-leveling subfloor dictates the rules of the game. The interior is built on the principle of a gradient - from below there is a dominance of black, which gradually flows into an equal ratio with white, stopping at the snow-white ceiling.
- The most effective technique is to use a black door in combination with a checkerboard floor. To prevent this alliance from looking too binding and strict, the designers came up with the idea of combining it with rough plastered walls or brickwork.
"Black + blue + pink"
- Anthracite doors look great surrounded by bright, almost acidic and neon colors. If you want to somewhat curb the loudness of the latter, making the scenery sound quieter, strict dark doors will do the job brilliantly. Of course, you can’t leave them alone; you’ll need to add black to the room - in in this case, pseudo-Gothic style chandeliers were chosen for this purpose.
"Unusual dark doors"
Don't want to settle for the classics? Or do you need to play up some bright technique in the interior? Don't forget that changing an element such as a door can lead to a real transformation of a small room.
- Engraving or laser design is an opportunity to decorate a simple dark door with any image if it seems too ordinary to you. Make sure that the design is combined with the print on the wallpaper, and, of course, with the overall style of the room - then the solution will look interesting.
- If black doors visually weigh down the interior, it is worth considering that only the frame can be black, as in the example in the photo. The central part can be frosted glass or plastic - such an element is much easier to fit into an interior in light colors, as in the illustration below.
Dark doors in the interior modern apartment occur quite often. When developing the design of a room, it is important to take into account the color combinations of each element, which is why difficulties often arise associated with combining dark-colored door leaves with the objects surrounding them.
Dark doors are very popular in modern interiors
A more traditional and universal option is white doors; they look unobtrusive and light in any case; it is not necessary that they be complemented by the same white surrounding objects. With dark shades, things are different; here you cannot do without accompaniment. Let's take a closer look at which option to choose in this or that case.
Combination methods
Depending on the correct choice, interior doors in dark colors can effectively complement the interior of the apartment. If you make a mistake with the shade or create the wrong contrast, all the efforts associated with the repair may go down the drain.
There are several ways to combine:
- Complete merger. In this case, all the main objects in the room duplicate the shade of the door leaf, there are no sharp contrasts, and when creating the interior they are limited to only a few colors.
- Soft transition. This approach allows you to diversify the palette, while there are no sharp differences between shades. Interior doors are combined with trim, furniture, decoration and various small details, but their tonality can vary within slight limits.
- Achromatic contrast. The emphasis is on sharp differences. Using this technique, you can focus attention on the entrance to the room, while linking it with another element of the environment. All shades should be harmoniously combined in in general terms Therefore, neutral colors are used: white, gray, black.
Exceptions to the rules are allowed. At the same time, the situation must be considered individually, since such decisions are not always justified in one case or another.
Basic ways to combine dark doors in the interior
You should also distinguish between ways to combine doors with specific elements in the interior of the apartment. The main cases can be grouped into the following categories:
- Platbands. Usually they are matched to the color of the canvas or baseboard, but they can also be contrasting, for example, dark doors and white trim.
- Walls. Because we're talking about specifically about a dark palette, this method is more relevant in the case of using dark decorative inserts on the walls.
- Floor. The basis is the shade of parquet, laminate or carpet.
- Furniture. Enough good decision, especially if the furniture has a finish similar to the texture of the doors.
- Window. Interior doors and windows have something in common, which is especially advantageous when they are located on opposite walls.
- Decor. You can link a dark door leaf with the interior, for example, by using paintings in the same frame and other little things.
Black doors
The simplest option for the interior of an apartment with dark doors is black canvas. This color can be achieved in almost any way, from pasting with expensive coatings to banal painting. You can combine them with almost any color, just like white ones. However, at the same time they will look heavier and more massive.
An excellent solution for black doors is white and unobtrusive light colors with dark accents in the design. Beige and milky shades for decoration, as well as gray tones, are perfect here. You can play with any other color. For brightness, use yellow, with red or orange. A blue palette, lavender and green shades will add calm to the interior.
You can tie all the elements together using platbands, baseboards, picture frames and furniture parts. You can also use a combination of black and color in textiles and the design of walls and floors.

- nut,
- wenge,
- smoky oak,
- rosewood,
- merbau,
- ormosia,
- paduk,
- Red tree,
- ebony,
The use of materials that imitate wood for finishing will help convey any shade
Brown walnut doors are the most popular in interiors. They are usually associated with floor finishing or some furniture parts. This shade is light enough not to weigh down the space with its appearance.
Brown wenge doors in the interior are also among the leaders in popularity. Such models may contain different patterns of wood structure, which should also be taken into account when selecting fabric for furniture. Pay attention to the direction of the fibers, it is better if they look the same.
Gray shades
Gray interior doors are used much less often in apartment interiors. Such solutions are more relevant for non-traditional styles, such as loft, country, high-tech, shabby chic and the like.
It is important to maintain the ratio of tones here. The gray palette is extremely huge, which makes it possible to unobtrusively combine together several different environmental items. Speaking specifically about dark shades, for them a successful combination There may be lighter variations of gray, as well as white trim or flooring.
If you combine gray with black, this may seem like a too rough solution in visual terms; it is better to choose a muted shade of purple or blue. You can decorate the room in a very original way if you add a little bright colors: crimson, yellow, green, turquoise.
In shabby style you need to go towards a lighter palette. But for high-tech, rich gray will be the ideal solution, since such interior doors can be easily combined with the shine of aluminum and stainless steel.

Colored doors in the interior will fill the house with warmth and color
An excellent solution for such canvases is the use of different cladding for each side. This does not oblige you to maintain the general style for the apartment as a whole and allows you to choose your own style and design for each room.
