Modern interior doors? Selection guide for design furniture

In the world of modern design, modern doors are becoming increasingly important: among the most popular solutions, modern sliding doors and hinged doors represent two options that stand out for their contemporary design and ability to meet the needs of increasingly dynamic living spaces.

 

Sliding doors have emerged as a favorite choice because of their ability to optimize space. Unlike traditional doors, which require clearance space to open, sliding doors slide along a track and disappear within the wall, eliminating clutter and offering an elegant and functional solution. Perfect for essential rooms or for those who want a design that is in step with the times, sliding doors can be made of various materials such as glass or wood, and with a glossy or satin effect that blends harmoniously with contemporary spaces.

 

On the other hand, modern hinged doors, such as flush doors, maintain their popularity because of the simplicity and solidity they offer. Despite the need for a clear opening space, these doors are perfectly suited to modern living settings due to the wide variety of styles, colors, and materials, thanks in part to the total absence of jambs and architraves. Hinged flush doors feature clean lines and minimalist designs, with customization options such as lacquer or wallpaper, which add a touch of excitement to the room. In addition, these doors are valued for their robustness and ease of use, making them ideal for rooms where good insulation and privacy are sought.

Before approaching the world of interior doors, three fundamental points must be taken into account:

 

1. Evaluate available space

The first step is to consider the space available. If the room is small or you wish to optimise the area, a flush sliding door may be the ideal choice as it eliminates the need for space to open. If, on the other hand, space is not an issue, a flush hinged door offers a classic opening and a wide range of styles.

 

The design of the door must harmonise with the overall style of the room. If there are modern, minimalist interiors, flush doors with clean lines and materials such as glass or lacquered wood can be an excellent choice. If a more traditional look is preferred, sliding doors with jambs are an ideal choice.

 

Ermetika in this regard offers two evergreen models of sliding doors: the Absolute Evo flush with the wall and the Evolution with jambs and architraves; read the article Modern sliding doors for interiors: 2 models to learn more.

 

The material of the door influences both aesthetics and functionality. Wood offers warmth and tradition, glass gives lightness and brightness, while metal adds an industrial and modern touch. In addition, features such as soft-close technology, sound insulation or specific maintenance requirements must be considered to ensure practicality and comfort in daily use.

 

As mentioned, materials also play a key role in defining style.

 

Glass doors offer a feeling of openness and brightness, ideal for those who want airy, well-lit spaces. The glass can be transparent for visual continuity or satin-finish to provide more privacy without compromising the diffusion of natural light. Ermetika proposes two kits that allow the use of this type of door: the Glass Kit for single door such as the Absolute Evo, and the Sliding Kit for glass door such as the Evolution. Both kits can be associated with the Soft Closing Kit Easy-Stop for glass door, i.e. a slowdown system for closing the door, whether single or double.

 

Wood remains a popular material for its elegance and warmth. In recent years, wood-effect doors made of materials such as laminate, which faithfully reproduce the texture of wood with the advantage of greater durability and ease of maintenance, have also become popular. The Echo Doors line offers the elegance of wood in a more sustainable way: flush with the wall, sliding and hinged, they are distinguished by the possibility of choosing between different finish options that emphasise the material of the door and recreate a natural effect that recalls that of wood.

 

The different finishes available include white, ash, mountain elm, walnut, grey elm and dove grey.

 

Finally, composite materials such as PVC or resins allow the creation of doors that are strong, light and customisable in terms of texture and colour, offering innovative and practical solutions for any type of space. Modern doors, therefore, represent the perfect combination of design, functionality and innovation, adapting to the needs of style and practicality of contemporary life.

Modern coloured doors are an increasingly popular design element for those wishing to add personality to interior spaces. In recent years, there has been an expansion in preferences, with neutral and traditional tones being combined with bolder and more eye-catching colours.

 

White and grey interior doors are definitely the most traditional choice; they can be combined with any style and context, always looking impeccable:

 

White remains a timeless choice. Not only is it synonymous with cleanliness and brightness, but it is also ideal for making spaces seem larger and more airy. A white door fits easily into any context, from a minimalist home to a more traditional one, always maintaining a modern touch.

 

Grey, in all its shades, is probably one of the most popular colours, thanks to its ability to adapt to different furnishing styles. It is a versatile and discreet colour, perfect for those seeking understated, modern elegance. This shade goes particularly well with walls in neutral tones such as white or beige, creating a balanced and harmonious ambience. Light or dark grey wooden floors also go perfectly with a door in this colour, giving the room a feeling of warmth and sophistication.

 

On the other hand, black has emerged as a bold and sophisticated trend. Black doors add a dramatic character to interiors and are perfect for those who want a contemporary and elegant look. The contrast created with light-coloured walls, such as white or beige, is extremely effective, especially when complemented with metallic details, such as steel handles, which add an extra touch of modernity.

 

Another popular shade for modern doors is navy blue, which conveys a feeling of sophistication without being too intrusive. This colour is well suited to contemporary spaces and goes well with grey or white walls. The use of light wood or grey flooring contributes to a balanced and visually pleasing ambience.

 

For those who wish to bring a touch of nature and freshness into their home, green, especially in emerald or sage shades, is an excellent choice. This colour harmonises with natural materials, such as wood, and combines well with neutral walls, creating a relaxing and cosy atmosphere.

 

Pastel shades such as light pink, light blue or pale yellow are ideal choices for those seeking a modern yet subtle look. These colours, combined with neutral walls and light wood furniture, create soft and cosy environments, perfect for spaces such as bedrooms or informal living rooms.

 

Finally, for those who want a door that immediately catches the eye, red or burgundy are ideal options. These bold colours can completely transform a room, giving character and personality to more modern spaces, especially when paired with light-coloured walls or metallic details that enhance the contrast.

 

The choice of colour for modern doors is therefore not only a question of aesthetics, but can have a profound effect on the overall atmosphere of a room. Whether neutral and discreet colours or bolder shades, the important thing is to create a visual balance between the doors and the other elements in the room, such as walls, floors and furniture, to achieve a harmonious and welcoming result.

When choosing a modern door, it is essential that it harmonises with the style of the home, and the solutions offered by Ermetika are designed to meet any aesthetic and functional requirements. The wide range of flush, sliding and hinged doors allows them to integrate perfectly into any living context, enhancing the space with elegance and refinement.

 

In conclusion, the choice of modern interior doors represents an opportunity to enrich and enhance every room in the home. With a wide range of materials, designs and colours, you can customise your home, creating functional spaces with contemporary aesthetics. Sliding doors offer ideal solutions for optimising space, while modern hinged doors, such as flush doors, provide an elegant and minimalist look. Colours play a key role in defining the overall style, allowing you to harmonise or contrast with other furnishing elements.

 

Choosing the right door means combining functionality and innovation, with a keen interest in aesthetics, in order to achieve a welcoming environment with a sophisticated design.
