Black Interior Doors: Five Reasons to Choose Them
Black interior doors may seem like an unusual choice for your home at first glance, but there are numerous reasons to prefer these fixtures. Beyond their inherent elegance, these doors offer various advantages.
The end of the year is often considered an ideal time to talk about trends, and among the most anticipated predictions are those related to colors. Last year, for example, the Pantone color of the year was Living Coral. While the anticipation might not justify the actual importance of choosing the symbolic color for the coming year, color still plays an essential role in decor, and therefore in the selection of doors.
While waiting to find out the color of the year 2020, here are five reasons to choose black interior doors.
Black Doors for the Home Create a Fascinating Framing Effect
Installing a black interior door, perhaps sliding with glass panels, creates what is known as a framing effect. When the door is open, the view of the adjoining room is framed by the door frame. Thanks to the black color, the outline becomes immediately more visible, creating a sort of "frame" around the room being viewed.
The framing effect also helps to create a focal point within the room. In rooms with white walls or other light tones, black fixtures immediately catch the eye, creating new and pleasant decor balances. Additionally, with black doors, it is possible to create a sort of pathway within the room, immediately indicating the exit and thus the transition to another space.
Black Interior Doors Can Balance the Colors of the Decor
A fireplace, a large flat-screen TV, and... emptiness. Sometimes it can be challenging to balance spaces and colors, especially in large rooms. A good solution in these cases can be to install modern or traditional black doors, depending on the room's style. With these fixtures, it is possible to create greater balance and aesthetic harmony.
Based on the simple assumption that "black goes with everything," dark-colored fixtures can match any type of color, especially light ones. Creating pleasing contrasts thus becomes particularly simple.
Black Doors Hide Dirt Better, Including Sliding Glass Doors
Maintaining interior doors is sometimes a tedious but necessary process. Often, fingerprints and dirt can ruin the fixtures' aesthetics. The problem is even more evident in rooms that receive a lot of light from the side, such as lower-floor rooms illuminated by the sun.
How to remedy this? Black doors, even in this case, can be a possible solution. Where light colors tend to get dirty quickly, black allows for "hiding" impurities. This doesn't mean you shouldn't clean these fixtures, but with dark-toned interior doors, you won't always need to resort to maintenance.
Lacquered Doors Create Pleasant Reflections
Choosing to install lacquered black doors creates a pleasant visual dynamic. This type of fixture enriches the room's aesthetics with greater brightness. Moreover, thanks to the door leaf's reflections, the entire room will seem larger and more spacious.
In short, lacquered black doors create a focal point while giving the impression that the room is larger. However, be careful: the illusion derived from reflections could be counterproductive if the room is already dominated by dark colors. If the floor, for example, is already dark (and perhaps tiled), choosing a black door could have the opposite effect, leading to a perception of reduced space.
Modern Black Doors Make the Ceiling Look Higher
Low ceilings can be an issue for smaller apartments and multi-story villas. To counter the possible sense of oppression from low ceilings, you can install modern black doors. Their sleek style catches the eye, while their appearance "confuses" the brain, which, thanks to the color contrast, perceives the entire space as larger.
