Painting Interior Doors Black Before And After

I noticed your hallway with the two doors close together.

Painting interior doors black before and after.

Here is a before and after of the front door. Painting around the panels is time consuming making it difficult to keep a wet edge. A few months ago i saw a quote from a designer espousing the beauty of black doors. The deep saturation of the color enhances portals that range from basic builder grade to architectural beauties so this is a trend we re fully embracing.

Interior black doors look good in any style home and with most paint and floor colors. I must admit that i am obsessed with black interior doors. Now black interior doors are having a moment. Opting to paint one or several of your interior doors black is a no fail way to completely transform your look without a huge expense.

Paint a raised panel door with a brush and paint with the natural grain of the wood. From bathrooms to kitchens black has been showing up in all kinds of unconventional spaces lately and we are definitely here for it most recently we re particularly taken with the black interior door trend we re seeing give life to spaces far and wide. Black doors don t seem quite as radical to me. I decided to be adventurous and paint my door black queue in the rolling stones paint it black.

I had never thought about painting my doors black before. Black is back and considered to be the new neutral. For the past few years designers have been upping the trim and molding game with coats of bold black paint. However i thought of painting the interior doors too but thought the black felt closed in.

After painting the door itself paint the doorjamb and casing beginning at the doorstop and working out. Some interior doors are heavy and challenging to remove but you can use this method to paint a panel door that remains on its hinges. I was not crazy about the view of the garage through the window nor was i crazy about the bland white paint on the door. This is especially true during humid conditions when it takes longer for paint to cure properly.

Black doors will elevate any space and make it a bit dressier. To be safe wait at least two days before closing an interior door. Then i wrote a piece for houzz called 11 reasons to paint your ceilings black and i was an instant convert. Anyhow let me tell you how i did it.

The door leads out to the garage and has a window. But then up until a few months ago i had never considered painting my ceilings black either. Did it make you feel that way. With an exterior door either remove the weather stripping or cover it with painter s tape so the paint won t stick.

Cover hinges with painter s tape if you want to keep them free of paint. An advantage of painting attached doors is that you don t have to wait for one side to dry before painting the other.
