What goes with the plinth Plinth-colored doors. Probably the most popular choice. A great solution to fit a door that is different from the rest of the interior.



The floorboard. The second most popular solution. Some “experts” may argue that so you make a “tough” out of the room, they say, the plinth will visually raise the height of the floor. But even some manufacturers make it possible to immediately buy their plinth of the same color to the laminate.



The only thing that can spoil this choice of plinth is the combination of its color with the color of the door casing. But this is not a problem: in modern doors, the casings are easily changed to suit the appearance of the entire room.

Plinth to wall color. Sometimes there are cases when a person really likes a color, and he wants to “saturate” the room with this color. Then there is no other choice, the plinth here will carry a purely additional function, otherwise the monochromatic color of the room will not work.

This technique is very popular when you need to visually enlarge a small room.

This option is especially good if the doors are combined with windows. Throughout the room will pass one stylish accent.
