White doors in apartment interior with photos

White door panels are modern and universal. Let's take a closer look at possible installation options for doors.

Pros and cons

White doors have both advantages and disadvantages. The benefits of installation include:

1. Additional volume that white color brings. Unlike dark doors, light color makes even the smallest space visually more spacious and bright;
   
2. Universality. Panels are installed in almost all directions and styles;
   
3. Expanding the room. Lightness and airiness add extra centimeters. This approach is especially practical with light-colored walls.
   
   

There are also drawbacks:

1. Dirtiness. On white color, even the smallest stains and dirt are visible. Regular maintenance is required;
   
2. Simplicity. Some think that white color simplifies the interior, making it colorless. There is always an opportunity to decorate the panel by adding creativity.

Different styles

• Modern style
  

White color is essential for modern style. It's its foundation, on which other shades and details are strung. In this case, white doors will add minimalism, strict simplicity to the interior and won't draw attention to themselves. This is necessary so that bright details of furniture sets and unusual accessories stand out more clearly.

• Classical
  

White panels have a clear advantage: they can be unadorned or create an unforgettable palace style. Richly decorated with carving and gilding, white doors will bring a lot of impressions and fit into both strict classicism and pompous empire, baroque and other branches of classicism.

• Countryside
  

The rough simplicity of the countryside style perfectly harmonizes with white color. Sliding models, patterned models, solid panels – there are many options for decorating in a rural style.

• Provence
  

Lightness and luxurious elegance of French South are highlighted by white panels in interior design. Simple panels with beautiful handles and glass inserts suit this style best. These doors blend perfectly into the Provence style and won't overload the atmosphere.

White doors and interesting nuances

• Gray walls
  

White color is universal and never stops surprising and making the interior more perfect. Combining white doors and gray walls creates a ultra-modern design in apartment interior. It might seem that such a combination is too strict, but upon closer inspection, one realizes that it's precisely the minimalism and color contrast that create a sense of calm in the home atmosphere.

• Dark floor
  

White color blends beautifully with both light and dark floors. For such a combination, the doors should be chosen in the maximum light shade, even snow-white ones. For flooring, wooden species are selected, preferably parquet boards, but quality laminate is also suitable. Designers suggest softening the contrast with furniture in tone with the floor.

• Other combinations
  

White doors and pistachio walls will add comfort and peace to the interior. Orange, peach color in combination with white panels will bring optimism and energy charge. In such a space, one can calmly spend the winter and avoid depression. White skirting boards and white doors against dark floors and walls will clearly separate the space. White and chocolate also look appropriate in an apartment and create that warmth which is sometimes so rare.

White doors in interior

• Bedroom
  

For a bedroom, one can choose a great variety of light shades, and even various designs: single-swing, double-swing, sliding doors, or even custom-made. It is important not to forget that the chosen shade – from white to ivory – should harmonize with the entire bedroom interior. The simplest option is smooth panels or panels covered with MDF. Matte and stained glass will nicely decorate a modest door.

• Living room
  

Doors in the living room, where friends and family often gather, should be chosen with particular care. On white color, patterns and carving look great, which echo textiles and other furniture in the room. If the space is designed in modern style, the panels are complemented with organic glass, metal elements, plastic. Gilded and chrome accessories professionals recommend purchasing in the same direction as the interior style.

• Entrance hall
  

The entrance hall makes a first impression on guests. It's important to highlight all the merits and preserve the home atmosphere. Entrance doors can also be installed in white tones. Although this is not a common occurrence for our country. Such panels look elegant. Doors from the corridor to the room are also chosen based on the overall concept. Especially relevant in small-size entrance halls and narrow corridors. White color visually expands space, and mirror and glass inserts will decorate the corridor.

• Kitchen
  

For a kitchen in high-tech style, glossy white panels are particularly appropriate. Multiple layers of lacquer plus multiple polishing of the panel base will create the desired effect. Additional decoration here is not needed. In classical style, doors with a patina effect will fit in well. Glass inserts will add refinement and comfort.
