Should I paint an internal door Matt black?
Hi
Any advice or opinion is welcome.
Just moved into my new home but I don’t like the internal doors .. currently glazed and painted white with silver handles.
before replacing the doors would they look any better painted a really dark Matt drainpipe colour or black / darkest blue with brushed brass handles. Anyone out there that can share their own pictures if they have done this? Thank you

Comments (7)You should always do a watered down mist coat on new plaster. We used the dulux trade matte diamond paint from a dulux mixing centre. Whilst it is brilliant for being able to wipe stuff off it I would say it had more of a sheen to it then I wanted so wouldn't recommend for ceilings. We used the trade dulux supermatte and that really lived up to its reputation, covers well and looks completely flat but won't wipe off so well but given its cheap and effective you can just touch up where needed....See MoreWhat colour should I paint my front door and pillars?

Comments (11)I would paint too, doesn’t have to be white though, depends on the style of the rest of your home. And door doesn’t have to be same as rest of woodwork. I’ve painted my pine doors and woodwork dark in my current house and in my last house I painted all the doors off black but kept all the woodwork white since all the walls were white there....See Morewhich way should internal doors open?
Comments (12)Minnie - I was going to leave about 3’ or so behind the sofa - so bit wider than the door so it doesn’t feel too cramped. Matt - I know rules for rooms of door opening in is best for bedrooms (so you don’t see the bed straight away in case people are naked, ha ha) but wasn’t sure what’s best for this room....See More

3 years agoI think it can look good. You have black in your sitting room so give it a go. Leave the architrave white and see what you think. Here’s some pics.
