The door and floor are dark, the baseboard is light
If you want to combine dark tones of the floor covering with dark door panels, designers recommend choosing light tones for the baseboards and trims. This will visually lighten the room, making it more “transparent”.
The combination of the floor and doors of the same color will look harmonious, and a contrasting baseboard will help avoid monotony. Please note that the width of the linear elements – both the baseboard, trims, and cornices – plays an important role in the visual perception of such a solution. In this case, it should be at least eight centimeters. This color scheme looks very elegant and suits any room in the apartment.
Door and baseboard – light, floor – dark
The light color of the floor, baseboards and doors requires constant care and maintenance of cleanliness. Therefore, the floor is often made dark, but the doors and baseboards can be light. This option looks very formal and is suitable for different interior design styles.
But there is one nuance: both the doors and the baseboards will have to be washed quite often so that they do not lose their attractiveness. White is especially impractical in this regard, so when thinking about the color combination of the baseboard, floor and doors, it is unlikely that you should include white there. It is better to choose light, but less easily soiled tones: beige, cream, ivory, light wood.
- A very good option is to combine a dark floor with light baseboards in large rooms that are not cluttered with furniture. A small room “stuffed” with various things is not suitable for such a design.
- Another option for combining the floor and doors on the dark-light principle involves painting the walls in light tones. This looks especially good if the room is not too high. This color combination will visually “raise” the ceiling a little.
Light baseboard, dark floor, bright door
The colors of the floor, baseboards and doors can be selected in such a way as to create an effective and original combination that serves as an independent decoration of the interior. For example, with a standard option of dark flooring and light wall decoration, the use of a white baseboard and a bright color for the door leaf will create an interesting artistic image.
A rich color will allow you to focus attention on the entrance area, so this solution is usually chosen for finishing the interiors of kitchens, hallways, and lobbies. Such a contrasting combination of skirting board, floor and doors will look good in pop art style, as well as modern minimalist styles.
Light skirting board and floor, dark door
If the doors are dark with light floors, then the skirting board should be chosen in light shades. But there are no strict restrictions for door frames, they can be as dark as the door.
This combination will be most harmoniously perceived in large rooms – living rooms, halls. A small room will be “crushed” by a large dark spot of the door, so for such rooms it is better to choose other color combinations of the floor and doors. This design is best suited for the neoclassical style, if it is implemented in a country house.
