Advantages of using dark glass doors in the interior

Competent selection and installation of interior doors ensures harmony and completeness to the interior. At the same time, the natural desire of the owners of the home is the desire to emphasize the status, the subtle concept of style in the decor. Ultimately, this directly affects the feeling of comfort. This is why the renovation was started.

Today, dark interior doors in the interior are becoming more and more common, adding originality, piquant contrast, luxury, and prestige to the decor of the room. Analyzing numerous design projects of spacious private houses and typical city apartments, we can confidently call dark doors one of the current trends.

Features of using dark doors in interiors

Interior doors of dark color in the interior can be compared with the classics of the genre, while being modified, allowing you to create comfortable and attractive fashionable interiors in one style or another, meeting the requirements of aesthetics and practicality. Today this is a trend that is reflected both in the design of spacious rooms and cramped ones lacking sufficient natural light and high ceilings.

Contrary to the rule that light “expands” and dark “narrows,” dark doors can look harmonious even in small rooms, without limiting or concealing scarce space. Designers offer the following technique:

• use a dark door against the background of a light interior (light walls and ceiling, light floor or several tones lighter than the door), limiting yourself to accents in the decor that are harmonious in color and tone;
• rely on asymmetry and/or contrasting inserts (the glazing of a dark door looks stylish, elegant, luxurious, expensive and elegant at the same time) - this will distract attention from a solid dark and conspicuous “spot” on the wall, scattering the eye around the room.

In general, there are 2 combination options according to which dark doors are installed in the interior:

• doors to match the floor covering, when both are dark (light walls) - a bold solution for spacious rooms; for small rooms, this option is acceptable if the shade of the door and floor is not too dark, and the latter should be lighter than the door leaf;
• dark doors against a light floor - suitable for any room, however, for harmony and balance in the tone of the door, it is worth choosing trim and baseboards; a couple of accents on a dark color in the form of decorative elements (lamp shade, carpet, frames for photos or paintings on the wall) would not hurt ).

As a small but interesting exception, there is a third option, when dark doors in the interior of an apartment themselves act as a bright accent, contrasting with the furniture, the color of the walls, floor, and ceiling. Sometimes the contrast is even emphasized by white trim and baseboards around the door. This solution is appropriate in loft, eclectic, and hi-tech styles.

Black doors and decor accents

The snow-white door is, of course, a universal and functional solution, but it is often reproached for lacking its own character. A very dark model, on the contrary, impresses with its brightness, distracting from other elements of the interior and forcing it to be taken into account. So why not combine the best properties of opposites in such a way that they compensate for each other's shortcomings? A white door with black glass from the Academy brand provides a similar opportunity.

The decoration of a dynamic space in the Art Nouveau style will be:

The impressive and discreet design of the Torino series, made in pure white or milky beige. The door in the central part is crossed by three narrow horizontal stripes of triplex, adding more expressiveness to its appearance;

Smooth white interior doors with black glass, which can be purchased from the Diamante collection. The sparkling diamond of the interior is finished in high gloss. The product has not only an original and expensive look, but also excellent reflective abilities.

What are the advantages of black and white canvas?

The combination of neutrality and expressiveness creates an interesting duet that has not left many masters of space design indifferent. Looking at white doors with black glass, photos of which are presented in our catalogue, you can pay attention to their “high-tech”, bright modern style. In an apartment designed in accordance with the requirements of “urban” trends, or in a modern office, such a solution will act as a worthy final chord of the composition.

The model has:

characteristics of the accent - in a room where calm tones predominate, it will bring noticeable revitalization;

the ability to connect light and dark details of an ensemble, emphasizing a sense of harmony;

reflective properties, which both the main shade of the canvas and triplex with a glossy sheen can boast of. On the one hand, a white door with black glass in the interior looks bright and interesting. On the other hand, it does not burden the room. Such a door can easily fit into the decoration of a small and dark hallway, cramped kitchen, or bathroom.

Performance properties

Will the glazed structure become a threat to the health of households? Owners are dubious about products equipped with glass, especially if there are children in the house. Triplex used in the design of modern models is mechanically safe because it does not create fragments if broken. They remain on the inner adhesive layer and are held for some time, although the insert, of course, will have to be replaced.

In addition, white doors with black glass, presented in the Academy brand catalog at affordable prices, have:

strength, impact resistance;

consistency of color and geometry, wear resistance - the products are not only good-looking, but also durable;

moisture resistance as a result of the use of high-quality enamels;

practicality and ease of care;

silent operation, soft closing due to the use of magnetic locks, etc.

Colors of dark doors

What doors can be called dark? In fact, this is an extensive group filled with many color and shade solutions:

• piquant and stylish black doors are a special hit of recent years, opening up scope for imagination in creating unique modern and classic interiors built on contrast;
• dark brown doors are the most common and wide palette of tones and shades for classic interiors, as well as loft, modern, country, African or oriental styles;
• luxurious doors in the wenge palette - from brown-red terracotta to red-black, captivating not only with their rich, deep shade “with a spark”, but also with a unique wood pattern (they look impressive only in the wooden version);
• original, elegant and discreet, but eye-catching doors in a dark spectrum of gray color - a stylish solution for any interior style, the most advantageous for modern, high-tech, Provence;
• non-standard doors (dark blue, burgundy, purple and others) are bright, eye-catching, designed to add a touch of variety to the interior, create a mood, and emphasize character.

Ivory door decoration

One of the decor options is glass inserts: frosted or stained glass. In a transparent design, they represent a symbolic barrier between rooms, and a light shade will give the door a special lightness and airiness. Glass can be decorated with sandblasted or photo-printed designs. Due to the good compatibility of light doors with many colors, there can be hundreds of color design options. The finished look of the door will be given by antique bronze fittings.

For a simple and modest setting, the golden mean is acceptable: ivory-patina doors without additional decor.

Lovers of an elegant and calm interior are recommended to buy ivory interior doors, which will perfectly complement high-quality furniture and decorate the room.

It seems that all that remains is to buy, install, and now the stylish, comfortable and practical interior of your dreams is ready. However, there is no need to rush.

Deciding whether to install dark doors in a light interior or an interior in gray, red, purple or another color scheme is worth analyzing all the pros and cons.

Step-by-step instructions for installing an interior door with dark glass

Before you begin installing the interior door, perform preliminary manipulations:

• The prepared canvas is carefully laid on a flat surface so that tools and components can be conveniently placed around it;
• Mark the material, if it is dark in color, then it is preferable to draw the lines in white, but so that everything is as even as possible;

Attention! During the installation process, do not forget to leave a gap between the frame and the leaf for free opening of the sash.

Dark doors: making

It is not enough to correlate light or dark floors and dark doors in the interior only by color scheme. An interior door and, accordingly, the entire interior will look impressive and prestigious only if harmony is achieved in the combination of materials or stylistic features.

A win-win option for making dark doors is wood or veneered MDF, often combined with glass in the design. Since piquantly dark wood practically does not exist in nature, it is given the necessary shade artificially.

The surface is also machined. Dark oak doors in the interior can have a deeply textured aged surface (looks expensive and solid, ideal for classic, Provence, country) or a polished smooth surface that only conveys the uniqueness of the design.

But it is unlikely that you will be able to find attractive gray, charcoal-black, brown or non-standard colored plastic doors - they are ugly, cheap, and impractical.

Installation and operation of doors with glass

At first glance, this design seems very fragile, but this is not entirely true. Glass for doors undergoes additional processing during manufacturing; it is tempered, after which the material becomes very durable. Before proceeding directly to the hardening process, special cutouts are initially made in production, into which fittings are installed in the further installation process.

After this manipulation, they proceed to direct hardening of the material.

Tempering glass

Important! Progressive technologies make it possible to obtain such safe material that doors made from it can even be installed in a child’s room. As for color, of course, this room is equipped with a canvas in light shades or with cheerful children's prints.
