A win-win option - white skirting boards with the same door and window trim. They can “make friends” among themselves even colors that are unsuitable at first glance, revitalize the atmosphere and give it a solemn and elegant look.
- The white baseboard can be used in any room - in the living room and kitchen, in the bathroom or in the hallway.
- The plinth can be wide or narrow, go in one line or two.
- The white baseboard emphasizes the geometry of the room, highlights the planes of the walls and changes the perception of volume - the room seems lighter, airier.
Consider several options for combining the baseboard, floor and doors in the decoration of the apartment, and their role in shaping the interior.
The door and floor are dark, the baseboard is light
In the event that you want to combine the dark colors of the flooring with dark door leafs, designers recommend choosing light colors for skirting boards and platbands. This will visually lighten the room, make it more “transparent."
The combination of floor and doors of the same color will look harmonious, and a contrasting skirting will avoid monotony. Please note that the width of linear elements, such as plinths, platbands, 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 fits any room in the apartment.
Door and baseboard - light, floor - dark
The light color of the floor, skirting boards and doors requires constant care and maintenance of cleanliness. Therefore, the floor is often made dark, but the doors and skirting boards can be light. This option looks very solemn, and is suitable for different styles of interior design.
But there is one caveat: both doors and skirting boards will have to be washed quite often so that they do not lose their attractiveness. White color is especially impractical in this regard, therefore, thinking about the color combination of the baseboard, floor and doors, it is hardly worth including white. It is better to choose light, but less easily soiled tones: beige, cream, ivory, light wood.
- A very good option is the combination of a dark floor with light skirtings in large rooms that are not lined with furniture. A small room “stuffed” with various things is not suitable for such decoration.
- Another option for combining floor and doors according to the dark-light principle involves painting the walls in light colors as well. This looks especially good if the room is not too high. Such a color combination will visually slightly “raise” the ceiling.
The plinth is light, the floor is dark, the door is bright
The colors of the floor, skirting boards and doors can be selected in such a way that a spectacular and original combination is obtained, which serves as an independent decoration of the interior. For example, with the standard version of dark flooring and light wall decoration, the use of a white skirting board and bright colors for the door leaf will create an interesting artistic image.
Saturated color will allow you to focus on the entrance area, so this solution is usually chosen for interior decoration of kitchens, halls, halls. Such a contrasting combination of skirting, floor and doors will look good in pop art style, as well as modern minimalist styles.
Skirting and flooring are light; door is dark
If the doors have a dark color with light floors, then the skirting board should choose light shades. But for platbands there are no strict restrictions, they may well be as dark as the door.
Such a combination will be most harmoniously perceived in large rooms - living rooms, halls. A room of a small area 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.
