One of the things I’ve been working on in our new house is updating all the interior doors with a paint color. I mulled it over for awhile before I decided on one, but this one really stood out to me as a good choice, so that’s what I ended up doing and I am SO happy with the results.
I’ll share mine at the end of this post, but I wanted to talk about this trend of painting interior doors today and see what you think.
It was over 5 years ago when I moved in my last fixer-upper that I painted all the doors a deep chocolate brown and I loved the look in that house.
My friend, Shannon, with Fox Hollow Cottage painted the inside of her front door a pretty aqua blue, which carries into her home furnishings as well. What a breath of fresh air this green front door is, from Maggie Overby Studios.
Little House of Four did a classic black front door in a Craftsman style and it’s so pretty. Melissa with The Happier Homemaker also did a black front door inside and it’s a nice punch to the foyer. Natalie from A Turtle’s Life for Me, went bold with her green accented doors along with the blue and white, a nice combo. Melissa with A Polished Habitat decided on a pretty aqua to accent the inside of her patio door.
Toni with Design Dazzle did a gorgeous laundry room and added a pretty aqua shade on the door. Brittany with Pretty Handy Girl chose a sunny shade of yellow for the inside of her front door.
Kristi with Addicted 2 Decorating has been working so hard on her fixer-upper and is making lots of progress. These coral doors just scream happiness and fun, don’t they, from Lolly Jane.
Kristi with Chatfield Court also opted for a pretty aqua shade for her front door. Jenna with Rain on a Tin Roof spruced up this set of of doors with classic black and adding pink to the mix for some retro fun. And Roeshel with DIY Showoff had a lot of fun with her grandson’s nursery door in this colorblock style. We have these pretty arched doors in our house and I do love them, but white wasn’t my favorite.
We are also changing out all the door hardware too and I’m partnering with Schlage on that, so stay tuned for all of this to be shown soon. Our old door hardware is a silver toned, but this black totally changes the look and of course, we love that backplate too.
As I mentioned, my previous house was painted deep chocolate brown on the doors and with my creamy white walls, it was a good mix and I loved that color there.
I do think that painting interior doors is a way to make your house stand out from the crowd and it give it a whole different feel.
