White entrance doors in the interior

During repair, it is important to consider not only the basic ideas of design space, but also pay attention to detail. Especially do not forget about the door: after all, it creates the first impression when entering the room. This is especially true of the white model.

White color was actively used by architects and designers in the first half of the 20th century with the flowering of functionalism in architecture. The most iconic buildings of this style are made entirely in white, and they became decisive for the development of modern minimalist trends.

Gradually, white began to be perceived as a synonym for style and good taste in wide circles, and still white in the interior, ranging from a common solution, to details, is not obsolete. In addition, painting technology can offer a wide range of shades: from frosty bluish to milky cream.

There are prejudices about the impracticality, marzimnost and unreliability of white products, about their high price. Therefore, the white entrance door is often an underestimated alternative to the usual products of dark shades.

However, on the contrary, it has a number of exceptional advantages:

• changing the perception of space due to the light reflecting ability of color;
• combination with any styles and design solutions;
• compliance with current trends conciseness and monochrome interior;
• practicality and reliability, not inferior to products of other colors.

The frame of the door is often made of metal or solid wood. As for finishing, now the market offers a wide range of options, both for internal panels, and for external.

Finishing materials serve not only to aesthetise the appearance of the product, but also perform utilitarian functions: they insulate and protect against moisture. When choosing finishes, pay attention to the following options:

• Laminate. One of the most affordable options, however, has significant drawbacks: this material is not strong enough and may change in color over time due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Laminate is not moisture resistant, so it is better to use it only as a material for interior decoration.
• Synthetic vinyl skin. Another budget option for coverage. Vinyl leather can be painted in any color, so this material involves a wide range of white shades.
• MDF (painted or paneled). It has a high level of strength and moisture resistance. Provides great opportunities for decoration and coloring.

Of the more expensive options you can stay at:

• natural skin (despite the obvious aesthetic characteristics, it is rather difficult to care for the skin, since not all detergents are recommended to be used);
• tree: solid or veneer oak, beech, ash (moisture-resistant varnish will make the material moisture-resistant).

Indoors, white door trim can solve the frequent problem of modern apartments - the small size and the unfortunate layout of the hallway. The darker shade of the panel will create an additional accent, thereby visually reducing the already small space.

White color, on the contrary, neutralizes the contrast, will create the effect of a single space that will solve the problem of limitations and inconveniences.

The white door allows to embody the most courageous decisions of an interior, without having spoiled a design plan. After all, white is a basic color that is easily combined with any shades. It is due to the unique combination of neutrality and expressiveness that it is widely used in interior design.

The competent choice of finishing materials will allow to avoid one more problem - noise. For this, it is necessary, in addition to finishing materials, to pay attention to the internal structure of the door, complementing it with sound-absorbing materials.

Different decorative elements can emphasize the visual effects of the white door andto diversify the appearance of a single plane of the door.

Experts indicate the following decor options:

• Installation of mirror panels;
• Competent selection of accessories;

• Decorating the door with cast iron grilles;
• Facing slopes and doorways tile or stone.

Decorating the panel with glass can enhance the visual effect of the white door.

There are the following advantages of this technique:

• Expansion of the boundaries of space. Glass will emphasize the visual effect of white.
• Saving space. Installing a mirror on the door will allow not to allocate additional space under the mirror in the hallway.
• Safety and reliability. Special design and coating makes it more shock-resistant than an ordinary mirror.
• Heat and sound insulation. The multi-layer structure will increase protection against cold and noise.

The door is a detail of the general facade and is not perceived as an independent element. Therefore, when choosing a door, you should take into account the style and color scheme of the entire building. Despite the differences in the chamber atmosphere of the hallway and the array of the facade of the building, in both versions, white is a universal color.

Modern facing materials will protect the panels from cold, humidity, sunlight and temperature extremes.

Characteristics of a white door in a country house are in no way inferior to products of other colors, since its design is similar. Moreover, white color can make an expressive accent in the overall interior and exterior of the building or, on the contrary, visually facilitate the appearance of the house.

If the door to the apartment is located in a heated corridor, in a private house, street models are exposed to weather conditions. Therefore, when installing the door to the house, more attention should be paid to finishing materials: they must provide thermal insulation and be moisture resistant.

A simple metal door can freeze and become covered with frost, which makes it problematic not only to open and close the door, but also to get out of the apartment in general. The most common material of additional thermal insulation is foam.

In addition, if the house has wooden walls, it is necessary to strengthen the door frame.

Now more and more often the white color of the coating is used not only in the interior decoration of the door, but also in the exterior.

Among the most common materials are:

• Paint: powder coating or liquid enamel. The most versatile option.
• Plastic with anti-vandal coating. As the name implies, the coating will protect the product from damage and scratches. In addition, plastic transfers any household chemicals for cleaning and is not subject to burning.
• Solid wood. Not the most practical option, as it is inferior in moisture resistance to other options. It is recommended to build a canopy over the door of solid wood.

One common way to finish the outside is the use of liquid enamel. Its obvious advantage is the low price in comparison with other types of coverage. Accessibility is explained by a simple method of manufacture: enamel is applied to a frame made of steel, timber or MDF.

In addition to the price, it should be noted that it is easy to clean the door, as any detergents easily fall on the smooth surface of the coating. A glossy shine will emphasize and make the shaped parts of the product more expressive and plastic.
