Reader’s question

"We are renovating our house and we have a problem with the interior doors. We decided on classic natural oak flooring to match our contemporary walnut living room furniture. We would like laminated doors and the color options we have colors are walnut, cherry, wenge and white washed oak. Which color do you suggest to choose for a modern yet harmonic result?".

Our recommendation

The color stain choice for your doors depends on the size and brightness of your space. It also depends on your preferences in light or dark shades.

Consequently if the room size and brightness allow, you can choose doors walnut or even wenge finish. Thus, you match the doors with your furniture.

If you prefer light color shades and your room has modern style, you can choose light beige color or oak stain for the doors to go wonderfully well together.

Choosing this option you unify all the doors with the walls once you have painted them a light color.
