Painting doors – color inspiration
Have you ever thought about painting a door? It’s the kind of decor element that we usually don’t pay much attention to, but a door painted in a distinctive color or embellished with original ornaments really transforms an interior! Check out our color inspiration that will make you add door painting to your renovation list!
Vibrant colors
A vibrant, energetic color on a door is a rare and rather eccentric choice. Most people tend to opt for more muted, unobtrusive shades – which is a shame! Painting a door(www.tikkurila.pl) in a bold, distinctive color makes it a stylish and highly original interior feature! What colors will work best? Those from the Tikkurila Symphony pattern palette!
- Sunny yellow (M300) – what an energizing shade! It fills with optimism and motivation for action. Doors painted in this color will fit perfectly into an interior decorated in the 70s hippie style, where bold colors and the power of positive energy reign!
- Deep navy blue (M350 Ink) – elegant and on trend! A great option when we need to add a strong, but not too overwhelming color to our arrangement. This is a perfect addition to an interior with a nautical vibe.
- light purple (J338 Barbie) – the doors painted in this color all the time ask to hang a distinctive yellow frame on them! At the sight of them, one would immediately want to drink coffee from a huge cup… Fans of pop culture will be swept away in a flash by nostalgia straight from the glass screen of the 90s.
Pastels
Painting the door does not exclude the use of softer colors, such as pastels. Their subtle shade will emphasize the elegant character of the interior and add a touch of magic. A door painted in this way will look beautiful in a child’s room, a Provençal bedroom or a living room decorated in the English style. On the other hand, there are plenty of color possibilities here – from delicate beiges (G300), through broken whites (F503 Jasmine) to greens (X381 Aloe) and blues (Y344 Violet). It all depends on your color preferences!
Creative facelift
We can also treat painting a door as an artistic challenge! Then we take out smaller, more precise brushes and create decorative patterns on the wooden surface. For proponents of minimalism, one perfectly straight line is enough – a modest decoration that gives a fantastic effect! For those who like unconventional solutions, you will certainly like painting colorful blobs or patterns of your own design on the door. On the other hand, in the children’s room, you can reproduce the characteristic flowers, which were seen on the door especially important for a certain blue monster….
What paint to choose for painting doors?
Now that we have decided to paint the door, the question remains: what paint to choose? The answer is simple – a durable and reliable one, such as Tikkurila Everal Aqua Semi Matt [40] (www.tikkurila.pl). This is a fast-drying, semi-matte acrylic enamel designed for wood and metal. It can be used indoors and outdoors. The enamel is available in a wide range of colors (more than 13,000 colors in the Tikkurila tinting system). It is distinguished by high resistance to mechanical damage, weather conditions, high temperatures, as well as washing and detergents. It provides very good covering power, and with the passage of time the coating does not yellow or lose its gloss. The product is friendly to health and the environment, and is recommended by the Polish Society of Allergology.
