  • Painting interior doors

    Here's your chance to help settle a minor domestic question in my household.

    As part of the usual spring cleaning fun I get to repaint a bedroom. The doors that are currently in are hollow door wood veneer doors from 1986. They are in good condition, but are not painted and are a generic brown color that probably never looked good but surely doesn't now. So we (GF and I) have decided to repaint the doors.

    The room is going to be a blue-ish white - more like white with a tinge of blue, nothing bold - with plain white trim mouldings.

    The question is: do we paint the closet door the room color or the trim color?

    I think it would look weird to have the door the room color surrounded by white trim, but I think it would be equally weird to have a big white block in the middle of the room (10' x 10'). What say ye?

    door color = trim color

        just slightly lighter than trim and use satin or semi-gloss.

              Agree with the color pattern she likes best and only paint the room once. (Says 34 yr married man)
