Designed in an original way interior doors are important element apartment design. One of the most controversial color options is black.
Despite the fact that this option is considered elegant and solemn, it is not suitable for all apartments.
Arrangement of rooms and door color
Black color for doors can be used in light or dark rooms. But it should Special attention pay attention to the choice of furniture, which should be combined with the overall style.
Often it is necessary to complement the decor with accessories, the shade of which is close to the design of the door.
Colonial apartment design
This interior option best matches the dark color scheme. The colonial type of arrangement involves saturation with details and accessories, complicating the composition and introducing slightly gloomy notes.
For such a situation, you can install a double-leaf modification, which is not only heavy in weight, but also looks similar.
In apartments decorated in colonial style, dark furniture is installed, which also has a shine effect.
A successful solution in this case is guaranteed by dark chocolate-colored doors. Saturating the apartment with red-brown warm tones will require you to purchase dark accessories.
Thus, design methods of shifting accents are often used, for example, it is necessary to install several lampshades with glitter on both sides of them.
Art Nouveau style in apartment design
A modern design solution with hints of minimalism does not present special requirements to the color background door design. It is advisable to ensure consistency with the overall color palette.
Can be used in combination with light walls and walnut floors. To create velvety and warmer tones, it is necessary to cover the structure with a matte varnish that eliminates excessive cold shine. And the composition will be completed by neat handles made of brushed brass.
Classic design option
Interior black doors will suit light-colored classic rooms. But this effect will be more likely for larger rooms.
When painting the floor, it is better to choose shades that are not too light, for example, Brown color more saturated tones. The perception against the background will be interesting beige walls and silver furniture, which are complemented by golden textiles.
To create the best effect, you can install a fireplace, and also choose a carpet with black edging.
How to choose combinations in design
To make the room look truly original and elegant, you should pay attention to the selection of combinations of its individual elements.
Monochrome in the design of walls and door structures can look quite interesting. However, it is still necessary to decorate the walls not in strict black, but to provide designs in the form of, for example, stripes, softer tones.
A vintage lacquered door goes well with dark brown floors and lighter furniture.
Can also be used in a black and white interior. If dark tones prevail in the lower part of the room, then closer to the ceiling they become more saturated. light colors with a transition to a completely white ceiling.
It can be combined with a checkerboard type of floor, and rough plaster of the walls or imitation of brickwork will help complete the composition.
It is possible to focus on brighter colors, even acidic or neon tones. In this case, dark doors will soften this aggressive background.
Additionally, you need to add a few more dark objects and accessories to the interior.
Original design solutions
It is not necessary to use plain black doors. They can be decorated with images and ornaments. Such a pattern should not be overly eccentric; it should be combined with the design of the wallpaper and the general style of the room.
You can soften the effect of black by painting the frame in lighter colors. It is also permissible to use structures with glass or frosted plastic.
Using black doors will make the room more stylish and original. The combination of this color with lighter shades will enliven the interior, and applying a pattern or ornament to the surface will go perfectly with the strict wallpaper in the room.
Photos of black interior doors in the interior
Dark doors meet often - they are universal. They can fit into classic, modern styles, combined with any materials and most other colors. You can make a bright accent out of them, or you can use them in such a way that they will not be conspicuous.
But no matter what idea seems attractive, you need to carefully choose the color of the wood and approach combinations with caution. Otherwise, the entire design will be ruined.
First of all, you need to think about what color scheme the interior will be made in, and how the colors of the floor and doors will be combined. In fact, there are only two options:
- classic interior - light floor, dark doors. The combination is contrasting and bright - the brighter and more contrasting, the more tones that separate the color of the door from the color of the floor. So, a black door in combination with a white floor will give maximum contrast;
- A little less common is dark floors with dark doors. Not a contrasting, but a related combination, appropriate in a room that already has enough accents and contrasts. This is only permissible if the room is large and well lit. If you try, you can successfully combine even a dark floor, dark ceiling and dark walls.
Typically, if the door is not a similar color to the floor, it needs to be visually “connected” with something else. Most often, furniture is used for this: white floor, light walls, light ceiling, black door and black bed will provide an adequate combination. Like the golden floor, warm white walls and ceiling, dark brown door and dark brown living room set.
The floor can be covered with tiles, laminate, designer parquet - this is not so important. Combining by color is more important than by texture.
And you also need to remember about the role of the baseboard:
- a light baseboard visually hides unevenness. In a bright field, it visually merges with the surface and does not attract attention. With a dark field, on the contrary, it acts as a contrasting element that visually separates the floor from the walls and from the door;
- a dark baseboard with a light background emphasizes the door and visually separates the floor from the walls. But in the dark it blends in and looks invisible.
When choosing the shade of the baseboard, you need to consider whether you need to visually separate the door from the floor and whether another accent is needed in the interior. And based on this information, make conclusions and choices.
Dark shades of doors in the interior
Dark doors in the interior of an apartment can be made from different woods and, accordingly, have a different shade. Technologies can also be different:
- the door can be made of wood solid massif. Very durable, very prestigious, but at the same time expensive and heavy. You will need to calculate whether the hinges will withstand such a load, and also figure out how to deliver the door from the store to the house so that it is not too tedious;
- the door can be made of a frame covered with veneer. Classic version, which is noticeably cheaper than an array. It has less strength and will be damaged if a blow is struck between the slats of the solid wood, where there is only filler under the veneer. But light door and maybe with relief;
- the door can simply be made of two layers of veneer with a layer of filler and a frame. Even cheaper, but at the same time more vulnerable - if hit, it will be damaged wherever it lands.
The door can be made of plywood (sawdust with resin), veneer (thin sheets natural wood on a plywood backing), or from natural wood. But in any case, the pattern will imitate the texture of real wood, unless you specifically look for a plain door.
The most famous of the wood species used in interior decoration. Very common in Russia, cheaper than exotic species, like wenge, but more expensive than trivial ones, like cherry. The color varies from light golden to dark brown with gold, the pattern is pronounced and noticeable. Over time, the oak darkens a little, but otherwise changes little - it does not rot, does not suffer from mechanical stress, and can serve for decades.
Its shade can be either cold or warm.
The color of walnut wood reaches very dark, almost black tones. The wood itself is heavy, durable, well processed and polished. Carvings are often made on it - it is easy for craftsmen to work with such wood. The annual layers and the overall texture are clearly visible.
This is a very expensive and very valuable wood. It is used for parquet and interior decoration. It is very dense, saturated with oily and mineral substances that make processing difficult. Its color varies: from golden, which is not suitable for a dark door, to pure black, with noticeable black veins.
The tree itself grows in the jungles of Africa, and this only increases its price - it includes not only processing and storage, but also delivery.
It was used in shipbuilding: the wood is rich essential oils and has a high density. A ship made from it could sail for many years, and a door made from it could last for several decades if nothing happened to the house first.
Teak has a dark brown color mixed with yellow and a distinct coarse texture. It looks interesting and is very resistant to external influences: If someone runs into a door, they are more likely to be harmed than the door itself.
This is an exotic type of wood, distinguished great strength and hardness. It has a somewhat rough texture, which gives the door a special charm if it is made to order and not sanded. It is distinguished by a beautiful, unusual color, similar to the coloring of a zebra - the pattern is clearly visible on the treated zebrawood wood: black stripes on a dark background.
Compared to other breeds, it looks relatively inexpensive.
How to beat dark doors in the interior
Simply placing a dark door in the interior - entrance or interior - and admiring it will not work. We need a complete idea, a certain thought that the designer is trying to convey.
You need to consider the color of the walls:
- on light wallpaper, a dark door will stand out and inevitably become an accent;
- on dark ones, on the contrary, it will be completely lost and invisible.
When combined with bright colors it will give noticeable contrast, regardless of whether they are light or dark. And in combination with pastel, delicate colors, the contrast will be even stronger - this can be used if you want to place a strong emphasis on the door.
You need to consider the color of the furniture:
- the dark fabric will contrast with light furniture - it will be effective if you make the entire interior around it uniformly light or dark;
- dark furniture will go well with the door.
You can combine the shade of furniture with the shade of the door not by color, but by its thermal characteristics. That is, if the door warm shade, then the door should be a warm shade. Otherwise, neither adequate contrast nor a related combination will work.
You need to consider the color of the door itself:
- black door in the interior. An excellent basis for contrasts. If you combine it with an all-white design, it will become the brightest accent, although the interior will look strict and even cold. To liven it up, you can add bright colors in small accents - in paintings, in textiles, in photographs. If you combine it with a black floor and white decoration, the effect will be less pronounced, but close. If combined with a dark design, it will look gloomy. And if with bright colors, it’s very impressive. This combination is good for modern styles, for a corridor or hallway, but bad for a bedroom or nursery;
- dark grey. An absolutely neutral color that depends entirely on the surroundings. You can fit it anywhere, even make an accent on the door - it will look equally advantageous;
- dark brown. Can be cold or warm. It also looks neutral and can be combined with anything, but is especially suitable for classic styles.
You can add decorations to the door - carvings, moldings, colored trim, glass inserts - or leave it in its original simplicity.
Common combinations with a dark door look like this:
- black door plus white floor, white walls, ceiling, large window, black furniture. In such monochrome interior Any room except the nursery looks very good. The main charm of the interior is given by bright accents, which you cannot do without: a painting on the wall, a bright blanket on the sofa, a flower pot with a noticeable ornament, bookshelf with carefully selected books. Instead of a black door, you can take any other dark color, but it will not look so impressive;
- dark brown door, floor of a similar shade, light (blue, for example) walls, light ceiling, bright color(or with bright accents) furniture. Allows you to create an interior in classic style- for example, Scandinavian can be decorated in exactly these colors if you add textiles self made and seascapes;
- a black door plus a black floor, walls of a bright color (blue, for example) interspersed with other bright colors (designed, for example, in the form of graffiti or paintings in the genre contemporary art), a ceiling whose color is a continuation of the walls, and black furniture. It is important that the room is very spacious and very bright, otherwise the impression will be oppressive. It is also important that among the accents on the walls there are light shades. You can decorate a loft in these colors - just add leather sofa, bar counter and spot lamps to complete the stylistic solution. The door color can be changed to gray, but not dark brown;
- dark brown door and golden floor in a shade matching the door, pastel colored walls, light ceiling. A large window is a must. These colors are good for decorating a kitchen to make it seem spacious. You can add paintings or graffiti to the walls, depending on the style (necessarily bright colors). You can hang bright curtains or place a flower on the windowsill.
Before you start designing, you should draw a sketch on paper (or on a monitor screen) and evaluate how the colors combine with each other. Perhaps what seemed in my head great solution, will actually be far from ideal.
However, dark doors are appropriate in any apartment - even in a Khrushchev-era apartment after renovation they usually look good.
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 backdrop of a light interior, but rather fit the color combination items 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 the 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 a 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, they will help you with this dark wallpaper, 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 dark interior will look more interesting and attractive if stained glass or glass is inserted into the door leaf - this will also provide more lighting in the room and visually increase the space.
When choosing just such a combination, be prepared for the fact that dark doors are not as 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 door leaf and the floor, it is better to make the same direction of the wood fibers 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 classic interior A solid door with carvings and solid wood panels is suitable. For small room Suitable with 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.

Combination of dark doors with light floors
Playing on the contrast between light floor covering and dark doors is quite an 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.

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.
