Do you paint the doors in your house the same color as the walls?

Unless the house is from the turn of the last century, there are very few houses with painted inside doors anymore.

Not really but if they do go the same color do them in semigloss or gloss. Doing doors in flat is gehetto!

No..... my walls are an absolute mass of colour.... and the internal doors are gloss white, as are the skirting boards, whereas the window frames are timber clear varnish.

you could apply a good primer and then paint them white, if you wanted to get away from the wood colour

Mine are painted the same, but have a white trim. It was Michael's idea. I have never done it, myself.

I have a 100 yr. old house. The woodwork has been painted white. My doors match the woodwork.
