How to choose an interior door? - Latest trends and practical tips

The door is an important part of interior design and should blend in seamlessly with the rest of the components. If you want to renovate and decorate your home, changing your door is a good place to start.

According to information provided by building and renovation materials company Citadeli, let's first look at what door design trends are seen in 2022, and then how to choose the right door for our home:

• A wide door - a room with two, three and four-leaf doors allows more light to enter and the eye perceives the space on a larger scale. This type of door is mainly used in living rooms.
• A glass door - if you live in a private home, a glass door and walls let in sunlight and more heat. Accordingly, it is a sensible choice.
• Simple and classic door - simplicity and convenience suit all types of interiors. The more minimalist the interior design, the more cosy and stylish it is.

Wondering what colours are trending this year? - As Citadeli explains, white and classic wood colours stand the test of time. There is also demand for cream, blue and green pastel colours. At the same time, most consumers opt for "less demanding" tones.

What details should you consider when choosing a door?

Advice from Citadel:

When choosing a door, consider the other materials you use in your interior design.

To have a sense of order in your home, you need to maintain a balance. For example, if the floor is coloured or rough, the texture and colour of the door should be smooth and simple. Also, smooth materials make a space feel 'cooler' and cosier.

Choose the right colour

If your flat has poor natural light, opt for a light coloured door, e.g. white or cream.

A solid texture and colour is recommended even if the walls, floor or furniture are in harsh colours.

Today, one of the most popular materials used in door design is MDF. This is a fibreboard made from natural wood chips and bonded together into a single sheet under high pressure and temperature. MDF retains the practical properties of natural wood, and is more affordable in comparison.

It is almost impossible to imagine contemporary interior design without MDF doors. Due to high demand, its technology has become even more sophisticated and the choice has become even more diverse.

Citadeli points out that the main advantages of MDF doors are durability, moisture resistance, smooth and straight surface and the possibility to treat them in different ways (they can be painted or applied in any colour).

If you want the design you choose to stand the test of time, it is best to go for a classic style, both in the case of MDF and wood.
