Are Black Internal Doors the Right Choice For You?

When choosing the ideal look for your internal doors, black will be just one of a range of colour options. There are some clear benefits that black or black painted doors can bring to the inside of a home or commercial building:

• A Timeless Look: Black doors work well in busy traditional rooms and sparse modern rooms alike, complementing a huge range of colours.  Black can be a sophisticated look, helping to create a striking internal space.
• Add Depth and Height to a Room: Black doors can make an internal room appear larger than it is, and make the ceiling of a room look higher. This can be especially useful within rooms that feel cramped or stuffy.
• Hides Dirt and Damage: Unlike other popular colours such as white, black doors will do an excellent job of concealing dirt, staining, or dents. This will mean less upkeep will be required across a property.

It’s worth noting that the look of black internal doors will not be for everyone, with some finding it too formal or commercial for a home. For commercial environments such as hotels, this could be a bonus in itself. If looking to decorate a space it’s always worth seeking out other examples of similar looks, and thinking carefully about whether it’s the right design for you.

What Types of Black Interior Doors Are Available?

When looking to buy interior doors for a property, you’ll typically be looking at engineered wood products, with either a hollow or solid core. Many of these will be sold in black colours. When buying doors, you’ll also be deciding between unfinished and pre-finished.

Solid Core Internal Doors

These are built in a similar way as hollow core doors, except the void will be filled with a solid engineered wood board. These will cost more money, and weigh more, making them a more difficult installation job. The benefits are clear, in their strength, durability, and luxury feel.

Pre-Finished Black Internal Doors

A pre-finished door is one that arrives ready to install inside a property. In the case of a pre-finished black door, it would be ready-painted, with no further effort required visually. You’ll still need to attach things like handles, hinges, and locks before you can install a pre-finished door.

When looking at black colours, you should also consider the sheen. A matt sheen will give a flat look that can blend into a room well, though matt colours expose damage more easily. On the other side of the spectrum are gloss colours, which reflect a large amount of light and can make a door pop within a room.

Contemporary Black Door Designs

Contemporary door designs tend to prioritise sleek minimalism, which will look fantastic in a deep black colour. Flush doors will be completely featureless, with a solid black surface. Some modern designs will also feature a limited number of larger panels, or glass panels as we’ll explain later.

Black Internal Door Designs

Alongside colour choices, the design of your door can have a huge impact on the feel of a room. While the possibilities are near endless, they can be loosely grouped as modern, traditional, and glazed.

Traditional Black Door Designs

Traditional designs for black internal doors will be more varied, with many panelled options and other more decorative and eye-catching elements. These can bring a serious look to a room when in black or can act as a focal point in a more minimalist area.

Glass Framed Door Designs

Installing glass panels within internal doors allows natural light to flow through them, which can provide fantastic benefits across the year. Whether looking at contemporary or traditional designs, glass-panelled black interior doors will be available.

Hollow Core Internal Doors That Can Be Painted

Hollow core doors are built with an external facing of authentic veneer or engineered wood, built around a frame with a void at the centre. This void will typically be filled with honeycombed cardboard to maintain its shape. They come in a wide range of designs and will be cheaper than their solid equivalents. They are also lighter, making them far easier to install. The key drawback is strength, where they will be lacking. Some perceive solid doors to offer a higher quality feel when in use, which is also worth keeping in mind, especially within commercial buildings.
