How to choose interior doors

Choosing house doors is always a difficult decision, because we know that it is one of the few items that we will have to maintain for a longer period, either because of the difficulty of removing the structures or because of the importance of the expenses involved. But there are more things that are affected in addition to aesthetics, such as space and light entering the rooms. Below, we give you some Tips Which you can take into consideration when Choosing interior doors for your home To make the best possible choice.

Home design and decorations

Before you visit a carpenter, consider what is best for you based on The overall design of your home. For example, in a minimalist or contemporary design, it would be impossible to think about the possibility of placing doors with moldings, more suitable for classic or rustic styles, and we should put completely smooth doors, on the contrary.

Of course, both classic and modern styles can be blind (without small windows or glazing) or glazed, because in this matter the design is no less important than our taste or the light that we want to enter the room. In dimly lit rooms, we are very interested in placing doors with small windows or glass to take advantage of the light from the next room.

As for materials, for doors separating different interior rooms, the most common are solid wood doors, veneered doors (with a solid look but made of wood-veneered chipboard) or hollow. The latter is of less quality and duration.

Whatever it is, still the wood It is very preferred thanks to the fact that it is timeless. It is advisable to use high-quality wood of natural colors; As for the treatment, it depends on your taste and style to keep them lightly treated so that their natural imperfections can be seen, or to buy highly polished and treated doors.

Walnut, cherry, cedar, beech and oak are woods that can be adapted to almost all types of spaces and can be combined with many other shades.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing interior doors is whether you prefer them to be hinged or sliding:

• Hinged doors: These are doors that open towards the interior of the room and therefore take up more space. They are available with one or two sheets; The latter is more common in living rooms and dining rooms. Likewise, it can be, depending on your preferences and tastes, matrix, glass or glass.
• Sliding doors: These doors are ideal for small rooms where you want to save space. They are very common in small rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. They are available overhead, that is, they slide over the wall, or built-in, which, in this case, runs inside the wall and work is needed.

You will always have the last word, but be careful with innovation, because sometimes it can be expensive: what is fashionable now can be expensive in the long run.
