Dark floor, light doors: does that clash?

I’m already looking forward to when all the oak fanatics realize in a few years that it’s out of style, just like it happened many times in the decades before (-:

my opinion therefore: how many doors do you have? We have 14 and I don’t want to have them replaced in a few years. Therefore, white lacquered doors, they are chic (so no CPL). With fewer doors, I might risk the door you chose.

Well, door leaves are relatively easy to replace. But yes, the average person does that less often than a dresser or a side table. With a wall unit, though, I would have my doubts that it gets replaced more often than you move...

Well, then you have an old frame and a new door leaf in different decors? Probably doesn't look too great^^. Realistically, you always replace both. I find replacing furniture easy. Wall units too.

No, frame always white. If you want decor, then door leaf in decor. If bored -> new door leaf, white or another decor...

Nah, frame always white. If you want decor, then door leaf in decor. When tired of it -> new door leaf, white or another decor...

But those are different decors, right? White frame and door leaf different, those are different decors on one door. I've seen that too, it can probably look like something, but I wouldn't do it voluntarily.

So for me, white is not a decoration, but I also haven't studied design. I just mean that white (and black) can be combined wonderfully with everything. That's why I would recommend it this way: if you want to use colors or patterns somewhere but can't carry them through completely, then rather combine them with white (and) or black.

Basically, in my opinion, everything that is built-in should be chosen as simple and timeless as possible. Because, as already mentioned, unlike furniture, curtains, decorations, and even the flooring (as long as it is not permanently glued), doors cannot be replaced that easily. We have white wooden doors in an old building style (we live in an old building) and I wouldn't know when they would ever go out of fashion.

I think that a door (including the frame) is easier to replace than the (also unglued) flooring. For the floor, you have to clear everything out.
