I have been toying with the idea of painting the interior doors a color instead of white to match the trim. The interior doors on the main floor are fir with a red/orange finish. Initially, I planned on painting them white. However, after looking at the build up of grime on the doors, I am starting to reconsider that idea. I am worried that white doors might be super high maintenance and require constant cleaning and touch up. I was then leaning towards staining them a darker color, which I think would provide some nice contrast. However, the doors are fir (a type of pine) and they typically don't take dark stain well. Then, I had a light bulb moment - I could paint the doors a color other than white. Hmmm... so I took to Pinterest and found some inspiration.
I am unsure on what color I would go with. Something midtone and in the green-grey family I am thinking. Here are a few options (all by Benjamin Moore):
 |
| Healing Aloe |
 |
| Gray Horse |
 |
| Sea Haze |
 |
| Carolina Gull |
I am still on the fence, but I think that it could be really interesting... I feel like it I paint the doors, I have to paint all of them (at least all of the doors on each floor) but maybe that's my OCD tendencies talking.
Sincerely,
