Choosing the Right Colour For Your Internal Doors

So choosing the colour for your external doors is not that hard right? Because after all, you know the importance of first impressions and how to match doors to build, but there’s just the one door to think about, or maybe two at the most - what about the internal doors, because there’s a lot more to consider. And unless you’re changing them on a monthly basis, you need to choose well - so you’re not having to live with ones you really have taken a dislike to!

With internal doors they’re all going to have to pretty much match up and be identical as much as possible, or it’s going to look a little odd. So you’re going to have to do some homework to get it right. The colours then are our main focus around internal doors this week.

You may decide to buy your doors already painted, which is always going to be less painful, or you may be considering the prospect of buying the doors and then painting them. If so, make sure you choose carefully, especially if you’ve decided to go with something bright to make a statement. 

Always take into consideration the rest of your room, the colours, theme and accessories. Consider both sides of your doors rather than just the one side - because when you open it people will see both rather than the one side.

There are always trends for what’s in or out, but at the end of the day it’s more about your own personal taste and what you think you can live with, because you’ll be seeing them every day for some time. That’s unless you decide to repaint your doors more regularly. Cool colours or warm colours are great, but not together as they may clash. What do you think will fit the room best?

You can always choose something more subtle if that’s to your tastes rather than brighter more bold colours. This could be anything from muted whites and greys to paler shades of blue, green or yellow. If you decide to go with something warm, consider warmer shades of earthy green or grey, or perhaps if you want something cool you could try dark blue or pale pink.

You may not believe this but colours can impact on your mood, so keep this in mind when choosing your interior door colours. Bright colours are welcoming and full of energy, but beware of placing them somewhere where there is less bright light as this may create a darker look. Pale shades are better in darker areas, and this will help to make the most of the available light.
