How to choose interior doors?

   Doors are one of the most important elements of an interior. They shape the look and character of rooms, so it is important to approach the choice sensibly and think everything through thoroughly in advance. Doors are not a 5-year investment, so we have prepared a few useful tips to help you find your way when choosing interior doors.

Door colour:

     In general, we can say that the colour of the doors is matched either to the colour of the floor or to the colour of the furniture. If you choose one of these two options, the resulting effect and impression of the interior is very striking.
Many customers come with the idea that they would like their interior doors in a similar colour to their windows. This mainly happens when they have not yet furnished the interior and cannot imagine how the rooms will look with floors and furniture. In most cases you do not notice the colour of the windows from the inside. This is mainly because during the day the light coming through the window prevents the human eye from recognising the colour, and it appears dark (unless, of course, the windows are white). That is why the colour of windows matters mainly from the outside.

Doors according to the character of the interior:

Small flats – For small flats we recommend mainly pale decors and materials. Thanks to soft, pale colours, your interiors will feel more spacious, and on sunny days the sun shining through open windows will bounce off the interior doors and brighten the whole interior. If you chose dark colours, on the other hand, they would absorb the light and make the space look even smaller.

Large flats and houses – In large flats and houses you no longer have to be so mindful of pale colour decors, but should focus mainly on making the doors match the rest of the interior. Here again the principle applies that it is best to match the doors to the floor or to the furniture in the rooms.

Prestigious houses – In this case, if you invest a lot of money in the house and choose, for example, wooden floors, it would be nonsense to combine them with laminate doors. Here it is a good idea to choose veneered or fully solid wood interior doors. If the floors are, for example, oak and stained with a specific wood stain whose name you know, we can stain the doors with the same stain.

     Our joinery makes all interior doors to measure. This means we measure every single opening free of charge and make the doors so as to use the full potential of the passage. We are not restricted by any Polish or Italian standard, so if an opening is, for example, 72 cm wide, we make the door exactly to fit that opening, and even with the door frame the clear passage will be 66 cm instead of the 60 cm you would have to accept under the Polish standard.
We can also adapt the door height to the opening, so if the walled-in space is 212 cm or 190 cm high, it is no problem for us.

     If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
