Doors in different cultures at different times primarily served a protective function, but at the same time were used as decoration. Painted Moroccan, carved Gothic, minimalist Japanese with rice paper inserts – even today they continue to inspire door manufacturers.
Restraint and Elegance
With a competent approach, interior doors can become a full-fledged decorative element in the interior. Not just a dark spot on the wall, but a support for the style in which the room is decorated. One just needs to keep in mind that the door must fit into the finish of two rooms at once (for example, bedroom and hallway, living room and dining room, kitchen and hallway).
If the apartment is decorated in a classic style or uses Baroque motifs, it is better to choose interior doors from Italian or Spanish companies that adhere to strict and laconic forms, use traditional materials and finishing techniques. Interior doors made of solid pine or oak are suitable both for a country-style cottage and for city apartments where the emphasis is on natural decorative elements. Painted in a light tone, a solid wood door will fit perfectly into a children's room, romantic bedroom, stylish hallway. The European approach to door design is universal, suitable for a wide variety of interiors. And the quality of products from the Old World is always high, so such doors will last a long time.
Oriental Motifs in the Interior
Beautiful oriental solutions for interior doors are also in great demand. For example, sliding doors found in traditional Japanese houses are original and functional. Sliding doors save space, so they are often purchased for small apartments. Japanese-style interior doors may have plexiglass inserts; the shades are quite calm, so they can be safely chosen for bedrooms, cozy living rooms, children's rooms.
Arched doors will bring an atmosphere of Arabic decor into the interior. They can be in rich, striking colors – dark blue, saturated green, burgundy red. Such color accents, of course, need to be supported with bright textiles (curtains, sofa cushions, tablecloths, etc.).
