Colors in Door Interior Design

As the world of commercials will have us believe that every house makes a statement about the kind of people that lives in it. This is very correct and the advertising world has got it right. Houses are in fact a reflection of the personalities, mindset, nature and attitude of the people inhabiting it. Apart from the fact that houses with their monetary worth are a direct statement about the financial stature of the family residing in them, houses say a lot about other characteristics of the owner as well. This is probably why people do not mind spending more than they can afford to make their abodes the best place to live in. Homes become retreats from the hustle-bustle of the mundane life. The ambience, taste, décor all have a lot to tell to an experienced eye. And perhaps the first thing that strikes is the ensemble of colors used in decorating the house. Each color, they say has a story and a mood to convey.
The entry point of a house, the doors have always been of focal importance to the interior decorator. Thus, door furniture has to be given great importance. Whether they are the engraved archways of the Mogul buildings or the designer doors in a fancy modern apartment, all make a first impression to the visitor, hence are given due importance and attention. Before deciding on the colors to adorn the doors so that they gel with the overall theme of the house and also stand out with beauty and distinctiveness, it is important to have a rudimentary understanding of how colors are perceived by the sub-conscious and conscious parts of the brain and how they should be matched with the overall color scheme of the house. Moreover, it is not only about colors of door designing, however, door handles also plays a vital role in door décor. These days people are incorporating brass door handles in their door furniture thus, trying to give them an ultra modern look.

1) Green House:

Green the color of Mother Nature, always represents growth and harmony within the environment. It is a restful and peaceful color, lying in the middle of the visible spectrum. For such a house, we suggest doors in the spiritual, meditative and spiritual dark purple color. It will give a regal and dignified aura to the entire structure and the lighter shades are specifically recommended for sanctuaries for the soul like bedrooms and library. Giving a purple door, a white trimming will give it that extra touch of creativity and will convey spaciousness as well. For houses done in the darker shades of green, a rust red or natural wood door will be more appropriate. While wood color is advised for the obvious reasons, red will give the right kind of drama and doses of passion to the ambience. Also it will accentuate the feeling of being in the lap of nature as it is the color of natural landscape as well.

2) Blue House:

In a light blue house, dark red doors with white trimming will provide an interesting study in contrast, by taking away from the monotony of the color blue. The power play of passion provided by the color Red will offset any low feelings that may associate the color Blue. In a dark blue house a maroon door with cream trim will heighten the nautical effect as conveyed by the color of dark deep waters. Along with this you can directly create a stylish door appearance by putting brass door handles to it.

3) Red House:

Houses in this particular tone may become too hot to handle, figuratively. In such a house, passion and power play may become the norm as red will hardly let emotions rest. Also, not many colors will be able to stand up to the glory and magnificence of the color Red. So, it is recommended to have black doors with classic brass accents and a white trim. Black is a color that can hold its own whenever paired up with any other color and the combination of black and white is always a classical touch which will take more than mere words to describe the impact.

4) Brick House:

A brick house has always a statement to make. It is the classic retro and frugal look that caught the fancy of the fashion designers a little while ago. The effect can be complemented by the contemporary look of the dark purple color and light grout color door trim.

5) White House:

Now, here is a color that gives endless options and choices. Pick any bright and rich color for the door and it will give a healthy and cheerful glow to the entire ambience.
